It's only been out a few months, casual games have legs.

You deliberately misinterpret my word use. Many people are obviously fine with  Kinect being bundled, considering Xbone's respectable sales.

Game developers say that the window for profit is usually only about 1-3 months at this point. After that, the bulk of the sales are from pre-owned. Those aren't counted as new sales (obviously). It will maybe reach 1.2-1.5 million. That's not bad, but I wouldn't consider that huge. 

And I was "deliberately misinterpreting" to prove a point. I bet most people would rather get a console for less than 400 without the stupid camera. But I guess some people would rather have a corporation call them stupid if they don't want it. 

That's true for most games, but not Nintendo's, which sell new at full price for years. And it will sell much, much more than 1.5 million, just watch.

I'm not a fan of Kinect myself, I don't like it being bundled, but the fact that it is selling well with it...
