Forums - Microsoft - Kinect is on pace to be the fastest-selling device of all time

Cherry-picking for the lose?

Kinect sales are astonishing but lying isn't necessary to make them seem better than they already are.

Amazing sales, I can't wait to get some more new Kinect games.



I got one for Christmas.  I wouldn't have bought it for myself.  But I have to say, I'm having a lot of fun with it.  A friend of mine came over, made some apple martinis, got drunk, ate Thai food and played Kinect Adventures for a couple hours.  She couldn't stop laughing, and I had a good old time. And we are both in our 30s.  And the public awareness is out there.  I asked NO one for it for Xmas and I received one from all three people who would possibly buy me such a large gift, none of whom are gamers.  I expect it to keep selling like hotcakes.

In addition, I didn't anticipate buying more launch titles for it other than Your Shape which I got as a gift, but the combo of good times with KAdventures! and a buy 1/ get one at 50% sale on Amazon sold me on Sports and Dance Central as well.



Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?

I am genuinly happy for expanded gaming markets, and i am incredibly surprised that this "over saturated" market segment has been so willing to adopt this new tech, and so soon after the Wii, but I am not happy with the products accuracy, and most VGChartz users would agree with me.

The ones that have actually played it, disagree. I havn't heard any of the people that have played it complain about lag, it just doesn't affect the gameplay.

Yeah I agree with Seece, a lot of the detractors are the ones that used it in its beta form or have played 10 minutes in a shop. Play it in a normal location in a house and most people would find it a lot better experience.

We have a Kinect set up in the front of our store and everytime the Area Manager visits he always plays and seems to have a ball with it.

WOW that is a nice way to spin the fact you were wrong.

Basically you said they will fail, but if not, it is because of Dance Central.

What a bold prediction. You are wrong btw, because Dance Central is not the best selling Kinect game. Kinect Sports is. IMO it is the mix between Kinect Adventures, Kinect Sports and Dance Central that sells Kinect.

Kinect Sports? wtf are you talking about? The people I know who own it and all wanted it over the holidays was solely due to the Dance Central commercials being everywhere. Considering DC was given away free this holiday by Old Navy with any $25 purchase and it was the only stand-alone Kinect game I saw get any commercialization, I say VGC is heavily under-tracking this one. VGC is awesome, but in games they have been way wrong before and I'm sure this time as well. Also, Kinect Adventures is the best selling technically so you're wrong.  :P

What DirtyP is talking about is that Kinect sports is out selling Dance Central. Dance Central is a fantastic game and some people will buy that and some people will buy Kinect sports. That is the point. There is a nice choice between the games, add in Kinectimals and there are 4 very good games.

Though I think a lot of sales people who have played Kinect sports may have been selling it to push it along. Dance Central will sell by ads and word of mouth, Kinect sports will sell by word of mouth.
