Kinect should give 360 at least a moderate boost. Probably not enough to put it on top of the competition but I think 15k-20k is possible.

Proudest Platinums:
1. Gran Turismo 5
2. Persona 4 Arena
3. Wipeout HD
4. Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2
5. Super Street Fighter 4

This is a conspiracy I tell ya! There must be an explanation!

My theroiez:

1-That was the only store in all of Japan that was selling Kinect.

2-Microsoft paid all those people to stand there with the 500 million dollar budget.

3- Photoshopped - those people were actually in line for PSP's God Eater.

hahah this post = PURe WIN!

Not really sure if there is an easy way to embed an article and this has way too many pics to bother doing so separately. As usual with this site, NSFW.

And it would appear that the win goes to hatmoza!

Any boost to sales at all in Japan is no bad thing, even if it is going to be short lived. Hope it does catch on over there but have my doubts.

that is one sad website...

I'm not sure how to take that. Are you implying that the site isn't credible or are you just remarking at their usual choice of content?
