So that comment about outselling the Wii's first holiday? The one that a ton of people (friend of mine included) mocked MS for making? Yeah ...

Issue being Kinect launched sooner as Wii had something like 6 weeks and you could clearly tell when retailers lacked Wiis to sell Kinect has been easier to get a hold of probably because it's not an entire console

Everything you stated is true, but it doesn't make 1) the statement from MS nor 2) the subsequent mocking from doubters any less viable.

Indeed and I agree completely just putting some context out there.

Good to know, hopefully this will get developers more willing to indulge in exciting experiments with the device! Bring it! Make me want one!

Well deserved indeed.

Can't stop playing it. Just ordered two more games for it. And best of all, i'm getting a great workout. Even my wife approved after seeing how active you have to be.

Crazy as it may sound, that's one of the main reasons I'm somewhat interested in it. Is it too much to ask for core gaming to finally HELP get/keep us fit instead of the opposite???
