Selling point for Kinect is equally (or arguably more) entertainment and control than games, that said MS have Kinect games to announce at E3, so no, they're not dropping support.

ehhh... but are people really going to be willing to pay an extra $100 just to wave their arms around?

Kinect 1.0 had an attachment rate of about 1/3rd, which is pretty low for the so called revolutionary new interaction system which it was marketed as.

If Kinect 2.0 had not been mandatory, it probably would have sold at around the same rate, maybe a little less. Which would put its sales at around 1.5 million. Not great if you ask me.

 

EDIT: Spelling & Grammar.

We'll find out soon enough, the basis of this prediction is that Kinect doesn't really need to blow the doors off to achieve higher sales than WiiU (I don't think it'll even make 15m tbh) so it just needs to sell at a steady clip for the next 5/6 years.

Oh, so this is yet another WiiU doom and gloom thread but hidden behind an MS prediction?

I see.

 

But seriously, WiiU will reach around 25-30m and will have a good year this year after the release of MK8, Smash Bros, X and Zelda.
