I'm gonna be so embarrassed if it ends up being something like 300,000.  I just have a feeling that Kinect had a strong launch and will sell slower but steadier between now and the end of the year.  But then, I've never been good at predicting sales.  :(


Your guess was crazily optimistic. Worldwide launches aligned Wii only managed 1.2 million.

But what about Oprah?  Does her Oprah powers mean nothing?  Damn.  I really wanted that cookie!  I mean, I REALLY wanted that cookie!!  Well, with Microsoft predicting 5 million sold befor the end of the year  (I think I read that right--and hopefully they ment to the public and not to retailers), I just figured......  Well, how many units did the Wii sell by the end of 2006?

2 mil is epic. Now we just have to find out if it's Win or Fail.

6 million shipped, which is going by the same standard MS is.

Are we talking standalone units or bundles or both?

Standalone units 500K

360 sales in US this week 350K



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Both.  The total installed base of Kinects in people's houses by the end of the first week.  I get the feeling it won't be two million, though.

MS have higher expectations than Nintendo did when they were launching Wii (they expected to ship six million by March 2007, in reality they shipped that much by December 2006). However MS official expectations are still below Wii's actual launch sales, in spite of the fact that their PR claims it will be a bigger launch than the Wii.
