Sorry, that underlined bit confused me. Kinect already has over 200k pre-orders, and if it follows a normal sales trend, that should go up to 500k WW at least. Thats just pre-orders alone, never mind stor pick ups. How can you reasonably beleive it will only sell 350k on day 1 when Pre-orders alone are expected to surpass that mark?

Hmm...interesting analogy. I suppose at the end-all, the only proof we'll have is on the 1st January (or whenever the numbers are released :P). Then we'll see whose right. 7 weeks on retail for 3 million is a heluvalot.

Well week 2 sales for the Move seem to be strong in EMEAA, and I think Kinect will do a lot better. It only has 7 weeks, but it's got the 7 strongest weeks of video game sales, and with the 3DS comming in 2011, it's got the spotlight this fall.

Also a $300 console bundle, thats appealing, especially with the Slim 360. 3 million is a lot, but it's definatly possible, and with the marketing budget it's getting, who knows? 2 million is almost garenteed, lets just wait and see what happens for the 3 million goal.

Launching Nov 10 in Europe, droping it in Gran Turismos strongest market a mere week after GT5 release. 

Is MS insane, they will be facing GT5 and Move PS3 bundles.   That decision might have sunk Kinect in Europe.

IMO, it'll open with a 300k WW release, i don't believe it'll be THAT big to reach 3M... i guess we will see how it does in november.

I will get Kinect for Child of Eden. But I don't think that's a launch title.

3 million worldwide doesn't seem that unachievable to me. I mean i wouldn't be suprised if Move made it at least close to 3 million by the end of this year, and i think Kinect will sell better, especially in the first few months due to all the marketing.

I've seen Motion Sports witch features numerous sports including a really cool American Football game. I see that one becoming the new Wii Sports in NA.
