My local Gamestop tells me that Kinect isn't selling very well and there are plenty still in the back.

 

After less than a week on sale, US retailer GameStop has picked Kinect as the first round winner in the Great Motion Controller War of 2010

Head office obviously thinks differently.

I'll spin this baby!!

Gamestop gets a better margin on selling a Kinect then Move! thus making Kinect sales better for them!

Ha! beat that!

Gamestop wants draw in more dirty casuals who buy used games and heaps of accessories they don't need?



Tease.

Its Microsoft paying them to say that with their 500M campaign.

Bam. On fire this morning.

Well you seem to think about Kinect a lot. I see you in almost every thread being less than positive.

Anyhow, carry on.

Both of you have clearly picked sides. Any one-eyed, color blind, 4/20 vision being could see that. I don't think either of you trying to prove you haven't are fooling anyone who's worth their weight in posts around here. Keep up the battle of wits though... it's been real productive and entertaining.

Good to see that Kinect is in demand and that the supply is there to meet it. My uncle wants me to get one so he can play Xbox but I told him to wait until it's way cheaper and more games are out as he'll try it out once or twice and then I'll be stuck with a peripheral that I'll care nothing for.

you should create a thread about the kinect failure then

it would compensate the ones created about kinect success ...


Ya that would be great.  So you guys can be eating crow when the NPD comes out.

I think 5 M before the 2009 year end is a strong possibility.

If I eat crow, then, you will join me ;)


If MS manage to sell 5M by the end of last year then that would be the greatest product launch ever!

I thought Kinect didn't release until tomorrow?(nov 10th).

Kinect release dates:

USA: 11/4

EU: 11/10

AUS: 11/18

JP: 11/20

So it's already out in the USA and will be out in Europe soon. Australia in about another week and Japan shortly after that.

the question is not "you are both on different side"

but : "who has a problem with who ?" ...
