I knwo that at this point no one is going to read this, so this ridiculous number will still be taken as "MS is making 7-14 million Kinects," but the opening post says this:

Newmax's third-quarter revenues amounted to NT$687 million (US$22 million), of which 50-55% came from Kinect camera modules, the sources said.

Half of the cameras aren't even for Kinect.

HALF. NOT KINECT.

Could a more misleading title have been used? It wasn't even factually innacurate, just incredibly loaded towards gut reactions rather than actual reading.

You do not have the right to never be offended.

Nintendo are getting their way then, motion controls will be the standard interface by the end of 2011 it seems. I still feel Kinect is a beta for the true version that'll launch with the next Microsoft system due largely to its reported accuracy, the software support and the marketing of the device.

If all goes well for Microsoft then Back to the Future got it right .. 2015: "You have to use your hands? That's like a baby's toy!"

Kind of ironic that the game he plays in the movie is Nintendo's Wild Gunman.

It is no where near as accurate or responsive as move!

So your point is? We are talking about the number of lenses not the accurate or responsive properties.

Oh one more question. Have you even tried it? Do you even own A xbox 360?

From your comment I bet you have no plan on even trying or playing it.

GO TO N4G!

oh yea your sig is totally awsome, yea lets wait. when the next gen consoles launch there will be a big difference. will steal the thunder from ps3 forceing them to release a new console.

Half of the revenue came from Kinect cameras. They produce different stuff for different companies as well.

The 14 million number still stands though. They made 345 million USD revenue with the Kinect camera.

14 million ALL FOR KINECT.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
