Wii is still winning in this holiday sales even after 4 years old

I must be missing something. I fail to see how ANYONE can possibly view those Kinect games sales as good. Take out Kinect Adventures (which you need buy in order to purchase a Kinect), you have a whopping TWO titles that have passed the million mark. Most titles will struggle to even reach the 500k mark. The Udraw games have sold more than most of those Kinect games. You have 3 Kinect games in the top 50 this week. 0 in the top ten of NPd. And this is all during the strength of the holiday season, when everything is lifted. So what this means is that people are buying the hardware, but its games are selling. Sooner of later, something will have to give, and the Kinect hardware sales will be lowered to be more in line with the software sales, because like consoles, the main reason for Kinect's existance is the software. Unless killer aps start coming out next year, Kinect sales will fall. I don't mean this to sound harsh or anything, I'm just stating the reality of the situation, which Kinect supporters don't seem to want to see. |
The install base if 4 million so if you expect COD numbers you're just being daft, the games have a great attach ratio to hardware and are showing legs.
Next you fail to realize that MS is making money on each Kinect sold. This is why they made the Kinect hackable to the pc market. Every Kinect sold, regardless of whether it is being used with a 360 or PC is making them money.
You have been called out before on your irrational hatred and trolling of Kinect, I don't see why a grown man is so threatened by an electronic device. Whatever if it makes you feel better to downplay Kinect then go ahead.

Top 10 Games Wii -- 476K There you go. It's possible with an installed base like Kinect's to have a title in the top 10. |
That is one of Nintendo's biggest franchises. If MS/Sony released a Halo/GT as a launch title for their next console you can be sure it would be in the top ten too.
Kinect doesn't really have a killer app yet.

wow this thread is really bringing out the maniacal legions scared of kinect.
i have never seen so much hatred for 1 product in my life. Ever since kinect was announced the haters have been out in full force trying to destroy it.
it is really mind boggling that certain people from sony and nintendo want kinect to fail more than they want their consoles of choice to succeed.
What is the result of all this kinect hatred? The fastest selling gadget of all time...that's what!
A sad commentary on today's state of gaming indeed. Speaks volumes though

Wow, do you see only what you want to see or what? Have you seen the Wii in the past few months? And honestly, give me 5 people in this thread that said that criticized Kinect without saying that the comparison is wrong or something along those lines and I'll be impressed.

And you fell into the same trap as everyone else.. "yeah its great sales... BUT" Any "buts" are utterly irrelevant in this discussion... Its only about sales. |
Some condescension... some refusal to engage in actual debate of points made in quoted post... some refusal to clarify point specifically asked about...
And yet I am brushed off as I have lost an argument.
Well, good luck with this thread I guess.

Whether it is or isn't the numbers are still very impressive.

It became one once you entered.
The more it sells the more chance a game comes out for it I might actually be interested in. Something like heavy rain with kung fu live style action sequences will do.
It should be able to catch ps2 eyetoy (10.5m total) next christmas.
