Kinect is indeed over rated. But to say it only had a minor impact on sales is absolutely false. 

Why do you think Microsoft were so adament at bundling Kinect 2 from day 1. Because they were sure it would see the same sort of reaction that the original got. But the market had moved on. 

Microsoft believed their own PR, that's why. They were preparing for the eighth generation as if they had seen PS2-like dominance during the seventh generation. Kinect wasn't the only thing they were delusional about.

they may have been dillusional but they have still sold 20M in just over 2 years now. Could be a lot worse.
