Well I see Kinect and Move doing approximately the same this holiday season,  and by that I mean terrible sales wise.   I just dont see many people actually going to buy it.   But thats my opinion,  and I guess since I am not an analyst I might have a better chance at being right. 


I think that some of these analysts and consultants are paid not to give objective opinions.......as another form of advertising.  

 

2 million a month?  really?

Then why is patcher still giving his opinions

pachter is a financial analyst, his focus is on investment research and how these companies will profit from the various moves that occur.....................he's also won awards for himself and his analysis so I dont think that he's doing that badly for himself

because the whole point of a sales numbers/ gaming industry news website that provides charts, etc, is to make an armchair analyst out of the average gamer and tends to make you think that you can provide just as good info as any analyst.

If Kinect does indeed sell over 2 million units per month with the Xbox 360 bundle being the more attractive option like this analyst believes it will likely turn the current gap with the PS3 into a Grand Canyon.

Lazard: Kinect will sell 4m over Christmas

"Our checks indicate that the 1. Kinect build is on a pace of around 2 million units per month... suggesting to us potentially more aggressive launch plans for the device," he said in a note to investors. "As such, we are increasing our Kinect unit sales expectations for 2.[the Christmas quarter] to 4 million worldwide, up from 3 million units previously."

 

1. According to their source Microsoft are manufacturing 2 million kinect units per month, its not a sales prevision.

2. 4 Million in the christmas quarter, which is 3 months, and its the biggest time of the year.

The analyst is reasonable, the problem is with Legend11 premise. All consoles are selling more than 4 millions in the christmas quarter.

That may be, but they're getting only 2 months of sales given Kinect releases nov 4th in America, possibly later in Europe (grr)

Thread title is "Lazard capital market analyst: Kinect to sell 2 millions units per month", what he says is 4 Millions over christmas quarter. Its even the title of his article lol. Hes not even hinting at what he thinks it might be per month during and after christmas quarter.

Even so, the article is not a prevision of 2 Million kinect sales per month. The thread title means 2 millions per month for all months, which isnt what the author is saying.
