Forums - Microsoft - Kinect overstocked, is it not selling in Canada?

Today I was at the mall and shopping around and I was suprised. I have read here on VGChartz that in the US and U.K the Kinect is impossible to find, selling off the shelves. But here in British Columbia Canada the thing is everywhere. I went into Best Buy and counted 8 single camera's and six bundles. I also saw about 4 at EBGames I then went to Future Shop. At Future Shop their was a tower of Kinect Bundled consoles, more consoles on the shelf in the X-Box section. Alongside that their was a ton of single camera's. Later on I saw more Kinect's at Walmart and even more at Zellers.

I didn't go to Real Canadian Superstore but everywhere I went the camera was in stock. So I'm confused why are their still so many units on store shelves? Did Microsoft over supply Canada? Is this consistant in other provinces or is it just BC? Is Kinect sold out in Toronto for example? Is Kinect simply not selling in Canada?

Who knows, we won't until MS give some figures or VGChartz.

Also .. X-Box .. seriously?



 

I went to Futureshop yesterday and they had a lot of Kinect. But then again they also had a lot of Move.

Would be awesome if formal names were actually translated all the time, in France it could be Boite du X!  That sounds pretty hot.



I was at Futureshop the other day, it's as you said, except I didn't see any Kinect (I went launch day).  They might be in stock now.

expected

 

USA and UK are the main places 360 is big

 

there it will be hyped up and sell big until year ends and then normal decline



jeez, enough with these threads, Kinect is selling very well folks for those who wants it or not.

You got way too much time if you travel all over the place to check stock of Kinect.
