Forums - Microsoft - EPIC Gamestop KINECT sales...Shocking!!!

http://www.gamestop.com/browse/search.aspx

The top 3 bestsellers are KINECT games bundles costing 250$ each. 

The 4th KINECT games bundle was the number 4 bestseller but it already sold out

Most shocking is that Gamestop is not discounting the games in the bundles.  They are forcing you to buy games with the KINECT so they can make more money than just selling KINECT alone.  I find this to be somewhat devious and manipulative, but I can only blame Microsoft for not producing enough KINECTS

Also for reference....KINECT only lasted 2 days on Amazon and stayed at #1 the whole time stock was available.

KINECT is HUGE and getting bigger by the day.

Wow, and I thought Sony fans gloated too much...

At least we stick to the WW Up threads and don't celebrate when you're selling more than us rather than making 17 threads about it, :P.

Anyway, good job for Kinect I guess.

Not sure what you're trying to say here.

I just think it is beyond belief that people would pay $250 just to get a kinect....the same price as 2 wii systems with the walmart gift card deal

xD, has it even started yet? Without any numbers, this isn't worth discussion.

Besides, I was just saying that MS fans are making way too many threads regarding Kinect's great sales. We get it, really.

Why is that weird? If GameStop was just at very low supply and actually just sold 50 bundles, whilst Walmart sold 200k bundles, I think that's different. That probably didn't happen, but we don't know for sure without the numbers. That's what I meant.

yup huge sales, and the more that MS gets them to the U.S. the more they will sell.



I like hearing the good news. I hope it continues to sell well so it will get more games.



Let MS fans have their say, they barely do throughout the year. I don't see THAT many threads on Kinect, so don't exaggerate.



Well I expected this with a 500-mill ad campaign. Heck my pastor actually included Kinect in one of his sermons and is buying his kid one. Fact is everyone wants a Kinect this winter (Except me). Whether it will be a fad remains to be seen does this thing have legs? Or will we all forget about it next gen?

Will this thing give Microsoft the power to catch up with Nintendo? if not than I won't consider it a success. Do a great ad campaign and sink 500mill into it, its bound to sell well. The real test is can it do a number on Nintendo?
