Why MS is keeping Kinect and didn't sell it for $350 - $400

Well Sony invested heavily in the PS Move, according to some people here even before the launch of the Wii. Yet they did not make it the "standard bundle" and it sold like... well ... it did not sell at all.

 

So as long as bundles guarantee the software support, I am fine with it. MS has enough problems with the X1 already, they don't need a PS Move-like debacle.

15 million is not selling at all?

Is this what happens when you become loyal to a company? Just say extremely inept things? Lol, no thank you. I prefer to live in reality.

You're a bit quick to start dismissing people as delusional fanboys. Wasn't there not a ton of PR twist behind that number?  Because there are 3 components- ps eye (available from 2007), move controller and the navigator, what does that number account for. Also most people would have bought 2 move controllers seeing as its core titles were multiplayer games, so  already that number is looking less impressive.

A good indicator of how a peripheral sells is  through looking at the sales of the most heavily bundled and marketed software.
