So they sold 250K? Or did you come up with that from pre orders?

Sigh you don't understand, for like a week MS ways saying it was sold out (before release) as in the preorders, that was a blatant lie 

Perhaps it was at many retailers. I'm not sure if they said it was sold out EVERYWHERE in NA.

they said it, and they lied since it wasn't even close to selling out

Not even close? Give me some numbers. A few places with some remaining stock doesn't prove, "it wasn't even close to selling out."

Not really, if demand exceed supply they would have sold out and they wouldn't have so many spare 360s to give away, and they didn't and they do so they are lying, it's obvious take off your MS colored glasses 

Ah so if they don't sell out the first day they are lying about sales projections.  Got it.

This thread is about Ubisoft saying they are GOING to sell out.  Or are they lying too?

How about every single unit they gave away, or the fact that stores with very few preorders got like 30 kinects, sorry that I don't have solid numbers but the fact is kinect wasn't even close to selling out on preorders and it was all just bull to make people think they wouldn't beable to get it unless they preordered it, sorry that country wide numbers aren't available but theres tons of proof

Course, again if supply exceed demand there would be a backlist, not leftovers and they wouldn't have the spare consoles to give away

I guess, it's possible they just feel for MSes BS like you, but more likely they have a stake in kinect

I hate how people don't seem to understand that the demand IS out there. Whether it continues, nobody knows yet but it seems to be a hot item at the moment. Just because the Kinect doesn't appeal to some forum goers appetite doesn't mean it doesn't appeal to other people.

Never said demand isn't there, I said it's not exceeding supply (aka sold out)

How many did they give away? Lets say they gave away 10K or even 20K. That's nothing compared to how many they sold. It was also part of the marketing.

As I said before, perhaps a lot of stores sold out just on pre orders. I remember they were telling stores to stop taking pre orders. But that may have been because some stores were getting more pre orders than units.

Basically, you have no proof of how close they were to selling out all around NA. But we do know many major retailers are sold out. So just give it a rest.
