Microsoft - is Kinect a fad? - View Post

No. The sales were too strong and sustained for that. Just poorly executed like the Wii.

They didn't follow up with more compelling buys after Sports and Adventures. Exactly like Nintendo didn't after Sports and Fit.

I see nothing this gen to make people buy a Kinect, but its sales potential is unchanged given the right software.

While the WII had poor software through out it's end but I'm fairly certain that it was decently executed. The sales for kinect isn't exactly what you would call being "sustained" given the fact that it had largely lost it's momentum in the past 2 years that it had released so it would easily qualify for being "fad" because it didn't become a trend exactly.
