Can't dissagree there, But at least they put fourth an effort while EA kept blabbing on and on about how Wii wasn't viable. It took EA like a year or two before they began supporting it. Activision was another slow to come around company that wouldn't shut up about how the Wii was going to fail.

I would rather see a company support a platform and fail to deliver great content, then bash it constantly and never try, then come around two years later and give us only the odd solid game.

Hopefully UbiSoft manages to make some better games for 3DS and Nin-Next then they did with DS and Wii! Their hearts in the right place but the quality sucks!

No they didnt. Retailers said they were sold out.  Sold out of the allocation they were given to be exact.  Also sold out of what? Sold out of standalone or sold out of bundle or both?  I suspect they were talking about allocation of standalone.  MS certainly believes they need more bundles than standalone. After all that is what Kinect is meant to sell more 360s to non 360 owners.

i was joking.

good overreaction!

keep fooling myself? i know kinect is going to sell but loads, did i ever state that it isnt. i dont care weather kinect fails or is a massive succes, it doesnt bother me that my favorite console wont be 1st or 2nd, or that it isnt moving tons of hardware and software. ofcourse i care about sales but i dont hate the other consoles, and i dont want them and their games to flop.

you should seriously stop profiling people. ofcourse kinect has been getting lots of hate, but come on, i thought you knew me by know :(

you got to love these guys who act like they know what they are talking about. It really annoys me when i see someone trying to say they lied about sales or they feel threatened buy Sony move. Why would MS feel threatened when move came out two months earlier and kinect has been our for only a week.

After all this, there are no official numbers.

But, from my perspective, Kinect will be huge this holiday. When I watch the reactions of people who finally use the technology, they can't believe it works and they enjoy it. The smiles are hard to wipe off their faces.

 While many are calling this motion control, there is nothing really like it on the market. It's more like body control. The Wii and Move cannot come close to duplicating what you can do with Kinect, since they only are measuring the point where the controller is located.

So, in my opinion, Microsoft is the only company on the market offering an experience like this. And the Wii showed in the past that if you are the only one offering a certain type of product, you will be successful, because there is only one place you can buy the experience.

It didn't have half a million pre-orders from one retailer...  vgc numbers aren't the most accurate and the pre-ord numbers are only for Amazon
