According to VGCharts Kinect Adventures, the pack in game with the Kinect Sensor, has sold 13.4 million units in 2 years and 2.5 months in North America. Why does that sound significant? It’s because it has already outsold the GameCube by about a million units, in the same region, and the GameCube was sold much longer. The GameCube had a full 5 year run before the replacement Wii. (I remember seeing it looking all sad at a $99 discount shelf.)
The Kinect Sensor will not work without an Xbox 360; So every unit need and Xbox 360 to function. Still, this seems like a rather significant number. Especially when Microsoft predicted they would only 3 million the first year.
Kinect certainly slowed down in the past year. But it sill an undeniable top seller for the X360.
Do you think Kinect will pass the original Xbox? It only has 2.4 million units to go – or is it too late with the NextBox on the horizon. Do you think it’s time for another price reduction? Or would you make a lower pack in price?
