Only read the first page comments and speak volumes.

Which is why I aksed for a list of those posts in this thread.  They are quite rare indeed.   There are people noting consoles/peripherals with a larger launch, there are some looking to see if sales are sustainable and there are some debating the classification criteria for Kinect...but very, very few if any have actually said the sales were bad.  Which is why I'm confused at so many Kinect apologists claiming there are a plethroa of such posts in this thread.

Unless those Kinect apologists are looking at those 3 types of posts I mentioned and are trying to make them out look like a "sales are bad" post which would just be pathetic.  Sales are great for Kinect but some people need such an ego boost or purchase validation of their product to draw inane conclusions from non-confrontational debate points.

I am laughing so hard as I read through this thread.

I knew there would be epic debates once Kinect launched (regardless of how it performed), but this is overkill.

I thought the same thing.

We can't even get to the topic at hand, sales figures, because there is such a large user base on the internet that hates everything the other user base is doing well at.  If I remember correctly, Wii recieved these same critics.

"The Wii isn't a video game console.  Waving your arms around like an idiot isn't playing video games.  It's being an idiot."

I understand that this argument has not been presented often here on this thread, but none the less the questioning of the Wii's exact nature was brought forth.

The Kinect is a new platform in my opinion.  You need to have Kinect with the 360, yes, but a lot of people are buying the 360 because of the Kinect.  In the "Kinect reaches 4,000,000 worldwide" article from VG, they state that 50 percent of sales for the 360 are coming from the Kinect bundle.

That's getting close to half of sales.  Interesting stuff there.

My main point is, when a add-on becomes just as important as the platform, it is a platform in my eyes.  But the technical definition will always be that the Kinect is a add-on. 

A good question, will the Kinect interfere with 3DS sales, or vice-verse?  Really, they are both very interesting techonologies.

so did I..

is that ok?

Truly impressive launch numbers.  MS must be quite happy.  

I'm more interested to see how it does come January when the novelty is starting to wear off, everyone played in over the holidays and Christmas isn't around the corner.  

Played it a few times now.  Not impressed -far too limited and I can't see how you can enrich any 'core' games with it, unlike Wii or Move.  But that's just my opinion.

Sales are gong to drop like a rock after January 1st like it does every year. Sales for PS3, 360, Move, Kinect, Wii, etc... will all be down once the holidays are over. It'll be up to the software to keep hardware moving after that.

Ive come to the conclusion that we are going to have to agree to disagree, I will ammend my previous post by saying that I view Kinect as a platform within a platform, much like steam is to the pc just much more watered down as the kinect simply has games made for it, but you get what I mean.  Im done with this though, almost pointless apparently.

Its a plane! no its a bird! wait its CAPTIAN OBVIOUS!!!!  no offense : )
