Forums - Sales - Kinect launch success????? Some figures.

So only Nintendo fans so far.. and none of them can bring themselves to actually comment on the sales.

 


Don't troll.

It's not the sales but the comparison that is wrong here, because Kinect is a pheripheral, it's not a new platform separate from the 360.

It's funny how we can't compare handheld consoles against home consoles, but we can compare peripherals against home consoles.



this site does compare handhelds with consoples...  go take a look at the news page today... lol

rather than smart arse comments why dont you just comment on the kinect numbers?


no they compared it with consoles rather than consoples.  Yep kinect numbers are marvelous but I don't see why it's being compared with wii launch numbers, kinect has 48M uberbase behind it, but Wii was a all new uber base building up.

 wow... thats hilarious... 

no... really.

it was intentional wasnt it?


The typo stood out so I thought I'de point it out.

Kinect is NOT a platform.  Period.



No, because it isn't a console. Duh



Above: still the best game of the year.

Numbers? That are more than just adding Wii hardware against Wii Play software?

Kinect has been a monster this holiday season, something I wrote off myself but ended up picking one up lol... those are some impressive sales figures and yes the kinect is seen as a new hardware entry for microsoft, not an add on.  You dont pour more money into advertising for an add on than you do for the console it adds onto, and microsoft themselves confirmed that kinect would see the largest marketing push in company history.

OHMEEGODS REALLY? Welp, I guess I have new ammunition against all those people that say otherwise, hey!

And the XBOX360 remains the platform that plays these Kinect games... Kinect is the motion device peripheral.

We might as well comapre Kinect sales vs Wii Remote sales...

over 100M Wiimotes sold WW!



after 6 weeks!!?? wow. I didnt realise that.  in which case I guess I was wrong.


LT I'm unsure wether kinect will do over 150M.

Uncomparable , you cannot compare new systems to new add ons.



I dont agree.

Kinect is a platform.

Lawl x) so I can play Kinect without X360. Yep tell me how?


Just what I was thinking lol.


I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't mind that you bought Kinect, hacked it, and then used it on your PC.  They are encouraging other uses.  But then they'd have a problem with you playing Xbox 360 games on your PC via hack.  Any bright ideas here?



Wow, some people.

Kinect is a platform.  The games are separate from standard 360 games, they REQUIRE Kinect to play their games and you CAN'T play Kinect games without a Kinect device.

Now instead of griping over what you feel or don't feel is considered a platform, how about you comment on the actual figures themselves?  He is free to make any comparison that he wishes and I think it seems some of you can't get past a single word.

Would you rather he put best "hardware" launch ever? Or even "gaming hardware" or "motion platform"?

Stop derailing a perfectly reasonable thread, it's against the rules.  Perhaps you can have a mod clear up these off topic, irrelevant posts?

OT:  That really is impressive.  It does show the haters that Kinect is moving plenty of software given its age and current userbase.  Great thread.
