I think 360 will really gain this week unless MS couldnt replenish supply. BF week 360 was held back by supply of Kinect's not demand.

Looking very good for 50M copies. I would suggest that Kinect demand is increasing rather than decreasing. Here the bundles come into play as people buy more and more consoles in the lead up to Christmas. P.S. If they hit 50M and 5M on Kinect their attach rate will already be 10%. Not many people predicted they would hit much more than 10% and they did it in the first 8-10 weeks.
Tease.
It's right on schedule. The next 2 weeks will be critical though. M$ will probably ship another 1 million Kinect bundles this week as well. I was in Fry's Electronics and this teenage girls were playing Kinect, laughing and dancing away. I check out some games and came back and a 10-12yrs old kid was playing Dance Central. I left and justed some DVD's/Blu-Ray movies and went back to Kinect and some women in her 30's was playing and having a good ole time. She seemed embarrassed as she kept finishing the moves and then putting her had to her face as she blushed. It's obvious Kinect has no gender or age limits. When I checked out the Move, some 20's year old guys were playing it. Of course they were playing Sports Champions. I think Kinect will do well the rest of the year. It has been on Oprah and the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It's been featured on countless news programs and in many magazines. Way more then Sony's Move. Even with Sony's Move head start, I think Kinect will have more sales at the end of the year.

Wow, well done. Can't see it being up next five weeks, but it should be flat enough for its current advantage to cushion its fall.

Anecdotal, but consistent with many other anecdotes.
I wonder how it's rarity during Black Friday will boost sales during December. I'd imagine there are people that definitely want it for Christmas that weren't able to secure one but will try again and again until they get one.

Wow 100k over! Looks like 50 million is going to happen!
Really believe it all comes down to supply. If MS can get on the market enought 360s the remainder of the year with Kinect sensors they will do it. This week (numbers coming in the next day or 2) will tell us if the 360 will make it or not.

Well to be honest i don't think it will make the 50 million mark this year but for sure by time January ends. I want to see be time this console cycle ends if the Xbox 360 will have sold 100 million like MS wants it to.
