Move VS Kinect, whoever wins- we all lose


Actually, I agree with you.  Just ignore my Move sig.  It was more for fun.

There are beautiful legs and there are GT5 legs.

GOTY IMO.

I expect it to sell around 3.5M in 2011.Maybe a bit more if it's heavy-bundled.


it will be.  in the US the bundling will be enormous...

Then it isnt selling at all it is being given away free with a console. In other words no big deal.  As for legs. 3 weeks during the holiday season isnt legs. It is expected.  If you were going to purchase a PS3 game to give as a gift name the top 5 for this year.  Guarantee most people would pick one of the big releases so that means GT5, AC:B, or COD:BO.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

Wii fans need to exalt these numbers, in January Wii will drop as holways unfortunately, this is the price for such big holidays. Still, very good numbers, 110m is no more a question I think.



CURRENTLY PLAYING: Xenoblade (Wii), Super mario 3D land (3DS), Guild Wars (PC)

So this week about 3 million pieces of software were given away with the purchase of a Wii. I post this because it really skews the software numbers.

IT ONLY DOES OVER 9000

# GT5 GT4 Week Diff Cumulative
1 2,191,588 2,523,055 -331,467 (-13.1%) -331,467 (-13.1%)
2 758,389 1,000,378 -241,989 (-24.1%) -573,456 (-16.2%)
3 680,736 510,176  170,560 (33.4%) -402,896 (-9.9%)
4   326,608    

Gives a good indication of where GT5 could be headed when put to the test against GT4. It's looking like it will outsell GT4 next week too.


GT5 launched during holiday season and GT4 didn't. It makes these comparisons pretty meaningless. Of course great sales still.

Kinect is just huge...

Bundle with Adventures could do close to 1 million next week... 5.5m by year end.

Kinect Sports will get close to 2.0m by year end.

Dance central will come close or pass 1.0m.

Kinectimal will pass 0.5m.

All of this will have happened in just 8 weeks.

Thats 10m software units attributable to Kinect by year end.

Kinect hardware is indeed very strong, but the software is not. You could say software sales are good nothing more. Combined Kinect software (Kinect Adventures excluded) only sold 3,093,193 units in 6 weeks during the holidays. That's not impressive at all, just ok. I'm afraid Kinect software will have a rough struggle in the slow weeks after the holidays.

So in 6 weeks 4 million Kinects have been sold and an additional 3 million units of software were also sold.  Sounds pretty impressive to me.  It isnt like you dont have a piece of software when you purchase a Kinect. You do either need to spend $150 on a standalone sensor or $300 minimum for a console bundle.  How many of those 4 million are wrapped and sitting under a Christmas tree and additional software will be purchased after Christmas and into next year.

thats ridiculous... its been out 6 weeks!

 

I know, my fault, was editing my post while you noticed. Still, software sales are unimpressive.

Sure software will keep selling but i doubt any of the currenct Kinect games available will make the WW software top ten after the holidays.
