After Kinect launches there will be 3 kinds of posters:
1: Users like the OP that will talk now about th epotential to sell 8 to 10 million more 360's than PS3 over time (unrealistic) who revert back to MSFTs 3 million expectation as a positive benchmark yet right now obviously have it in their deluded minds Kinect will be something magical. So theyre in a win/win scenerio in their minds because they clearly think its going to be crazy successful, but always can fall back to argue its "in line" with expectations. This also happened to the PSPGo, as an analogy. So the argument will ensue.
2: Users who, even when/if Kinect is successful or meets MSFT's projections and regardless of what kind of reviews it gets will point back to posts liek this and claim "all 360 fans thought itd do more" Thus diminishing what should have been a respectful launch and leading to a downward spiral. This will happen even if Kinect goes on to sell buttloads (yes buttloads is an official quantity)
3: Users who have tapered expectation, like myself, will see the launch as a success because its apparent theres at LEAST enough interest to carry Kinect through the holidays as a prime item, yet wish to hold back judgment on its success or failure because we still know such little info about its potential or future implications on the industry.
Summery. Nothing will change, this thread just makes it worse because its one more gallon of gasoline to the inevitable "all you 360 fans...."comments we will hear in the coming months.
