The first week of Kinectless won't be predictive of anything. But I predict Kinectless will noticeably increase the global Xb one baseline sales.
If we look at how Xb one was doing in April (55-65K weekly) as a reference I think that will bump to more like 75-80K weekly. And then add ~5K weekly for the September markets (outside of launch and holiday periods) and I think we're looking at 80-85K baseline.
Though I could be wrong and Kinectless might merely be a stop-loss measure and the baseline will simply settle at 60-70K even post the September launch markets, as opposed to what might have happened if Kinect stayed auto-bundled and Xb one came to rest at sub-50k levels even after the September launch markets came on stream.
Anyway I think Kinectless was a necessary move for Xb one survival.
