The reason is obvious. Unlike ps move which sony is treating as a peripheral addition to the ps3, it became more and more apparent through e3, gamescon and tgs that if you want to get any use out of your xbox starting next year, you're going to need kinect. Kincet is microsoft's new console and they are banking on it selling like one.
Time for hype

Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Does it? I'd imagine if it did, it would also have people searching on google. Yet, people are searching for Kinect much less than in the run up to Wii launch.

Confirmed, all 2011 games require Kinect.

Well using a lazy and easy to do method.
Xbox 360 was released on 16 November 2005 in NA, 2 December 2005 in Europe and 10 December 2005 in Japan. It sold 1,173,809 units in 2005.
Wii was released on 19 November 2006 in NA, 2 December 2006 in Japan and 8 December 2006 In Europe. It sold 2,932,010 units.
PS3 was released on 11 November 2006 in Japan, 17 November 2006 in NA, and unfortunately, for this comparison, the following year in Europe. It sold 1,232,194 units in 2006.
Wii Fit was released on 1 December 2007 and sold 878,716 units in 2007, so that's 878,716 balance boards.
DS was released on 21 November 2004 in NA, 2 December 2004 in Japan and the following year in Europe. It sold 2,857,387 in 2004.
Unfortunately the PSP was released only in Japan in 2004.

MS fans use Bing...
Seriously, I'm not sure what this has to do with anything. I'm not agreeing with the notion, "Kinect launch will be bigger." Perhaps the sales launch will be bigger due to supply issues the Wii had.

For some reason i want to say that launch supply for the Wii was about 600k (which sold through entirely) and that PS3 was around the same number?
Many big software releases spit on 600k, but it might be unfair for Kinect given that its probably easier to manufacture than a full-scale console, if we're talking in pure terms of night-one sales.

I'm just going by this list:
http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=116303&page=1
Which consists of Gears of war, KInect games and not much else. And I'm sure the ratio of real games to kincet games will only continue to widen.
Time for hype

Well I'm not implying they will buy it. I'm just saying many people are hearing about it because people are talking.
Hence, word of mouth is playing a big role.

You said that it has people talking and people are excited about it. I'm saying not that many people are excited or talking about it. If they were, they would also be searching for it.
