Forums - Sales - Kinect pre-orders boom (More than 500k preorders by launch! UK ONLY!)

maxer said:

Cool stuff! When typing "Preorder Kin..." you get the google suggestion: "Preorder Kinect", when trying with "Preorder Mov..." or "Preorder playstation mo..." you get nothing. 

Same results at your place(s)?

Lol, that's really a sad way to gauge things.  Especially since most places are calling it the Playstation Move, not just the Move.  Type in "preorder p" and you get 2 results in there for playstation move.  Or put in "preorder pl" and it's the top choice.  But like I said, it's kinda reaching when you're trying to gauge success on a search engine.  That's like me saying the Move will be much bigger than Kinect cause the Move bundle is 36 spots ahead of the Kinect Bundle on Amazon in this very sec.

Edit: Also, this article was probably written after the ~ 20K boom that Kinect saw in US pre-orders (something that was probably emulated in the UK).  However, last week's chart showed a drop to 7.7K for the week.  So, Kinect's preorders are definitely far from a constant rise.

Both Kinect and Move will bomb, no matter how bad some want them to succeed.



Thanks for the feedback. My mistake, just really thought people didn't type it :(
