Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Kinect Adventures to be a 20 million seller? (I'm dead serious)

Yeah it's a shame to see that Kinect Adventures will be tracked as a seperate software title, cause it shouldn't. You simply can't buy Kinect without getting this game with it, and you can't buy only the game anywhere, wich means it's simply not a seperate software title and so it shouldn't count. It's like counting the demo disc that comes with Move as a software title...

The same must be said for Wii Sports. Of course, that hasn't happened in the 4 years the Wii has been tracked by VGC, so its doubtful Adventures will be any different.

I think that 20 million for Adventures is possible if Microsoft doesn't pack-in a different title. I think that Kinect could sell that much by the end of next year. There are 40 million X360 owners out there now, and I'd imagine that quite a few new 360's will be sold with the Kinect bundle.

In another question: I wonder how much Microsoft makes on a $299 Slim bundle with Kinect....It has to be massive.


The same is said about Wii Sports, pretty much on a daily basis round VGChartz

 

and yeah, I agree that 20 mill is possible for Kinect motion systems (and thus adventures assuming it remains bundled the whole time) but at this current point, I think it is not overly likely. Kinect doesn't appear to be getting the software support it needs to get to 20 million

Eyetoy wasn't remotely the same caliber as Kinect, as will be seen when it ships over half of what the eyetoy did in what, 5 years? in 8 weeks.

Eyetoy was indeed at a superior caliber, imo, because what matters at the end, its not how high tech it is but the games.

And the Eyetoy games, so far, are better than kinect. (I don't mean like, right now, but in review history, Eyetoy was better back in the time than kinect is nowadays)

 

EDIT: And shipments don't mean sales.

If that's seriously all eyetoy had then Kinect already has a game rated higher than any game eyetoy had.

You really are clutching at straws, I disagree with everything you just said and the reasoning.

Not doubting you, but it'd be nice if you named the game :)

Really?

Show me 5 kinect games rating above 70's?

And no, those were not the only games released on eye toy:

Right now, talking in the present, kinect software is weaker than Eye Toy software (rating wise)

I shoulda been able to guess that really, it's kinda obvious in hindsight.

20 games, is that seriously all eyetoy came out with? Kinect will have more than 20 by the end of this month ........

There are already 4 games 70 plus on Kinect, and that was launch day games. Not that I see why that matters, again, really clutching at straws here.

Why that matters? Software doesn't matter?

And nothing is stopping kinect games to score lower or higher on metacritic, reviews are still rolling.

And I don't know what clutching at straws means, but if it is something stupid, don't associate that with me, thanks.

Yep.

We'll have to wait and see if in the software front kinect is able to surpass Eyetoy.

That way I think it could achieve some decent sales.
