I thought MS said they were only going to have 5 million units for the year.  They can't sell 8 million if they don't make them, and considering they're sold out at most/all places they probably haven't made that many.



they said 14 million shipped cameras i think. but i believe that means 7 million shipped because each kinect has two cameras...weird way of saying it on their part.

lol, never heard that one before, I'm thinking you have been listening to some people that don't know what they are talking about.

The only numbers I have heard from microsoft (and I read A LOT of game news) is the 5 million sold by the end of the year goal.  Of which they revised up from 3 million.

Also, there is no way in hell microsoft would talk about kinect as multiple cameras.  

It's true, there was an article, the people that make the cameras inside Kinect shipped 14 million cameras.

20 million total?  Sounds reasonable to me.

20-25 million is definitely looking very possible!

yeah, that makes sense because it isn't microsoft taking about that figure, but the people supplying the cameras to microsoft.  They are talking about how many cameras they have shipped to microsoft.  like i said, I don't think you would ever actually see microsoft talking about their numbers like that, which is what you originally implied.

Though we’ve confirmed the Move has sold 4.1 million units, there is strong evidence that the Kinect is looking to have “an installed base of 8 million by year-end,” says Pachter. “Depending on pricing, we could see an installed base that approaches 20-25 million by year-end 2011

 

 He's a sales analysist. This pretty much proves me right...take it!


sorry he is not a sales analyst, he is a stock analyst he predicts stock prices based off a lot of factors including sales forecasts.

Fixed that for you.

Edit: Too late.

So now if it doesn't hit 8 million in 2010 or 20 million by the end of 2011, haters will call it a failure.  : |

I do agree that if it doesn't live up to a incredible number It will be DOOMED! lets hope it pushes 30,000,000 to push the envelope.

 

the way it's going, I'm going with  23,467,845 million units by 2011. I'm going to put it into my sig.

Oh yea I can't , is anyone else's settings and menu's on the side screwed up. Mine is all jacked up.

I honestly don't think it will sell 8 million by January 1, 2011 and 20 million lifetime.
