all dates go back to oct 2010, that shows it was just for launch, as every article says so. i can dig up many more sources if you like, as i just typed kinect 500 million marketing in google. 

I was pretty sure someone came out and said it was for everything but hey, I could be wrong. Can't win everyday. LOL
