I just watched back, he says "as many of you know we predicted we would sell as many as 5 million Kinects in the first 60 days, we beat that target, selling OVER 8 million"


He also said "this was the biggest holiday and year for Xbox ever"

The last biggest holiday was 2008 6.5 mill shipped.

So shipments are above 51 mill, likely 52/54 million



Wow, JUST WOW!

Prediction : 360 will outsell Wii in Dec NPD.


No console will beat the Wii in Dec.

OT: Kinect is definitely selling really well...but I don't really think it has anything major when it comes to support. Wonder what sales will look like for the Wii/360/PS3 when the holiday cools down.

We said the same thing about the Wii 4 years ago, actually I am sill saying it.

Why are you lying? O_o Microsoft themselves have said "sold to consumer" all along, and our figures agree with it. You can't try and convince people all you like but it's not going to change the facts

I'm not lying... everytime Microsoft sold to [their] consumer... retailers... not me and you.

We can discuss if the real sold is near the Microsoft figure or not... but their number are shipped.


MS 360 HW is always shipped. They specficically stated (in their words) sold to consumer for Kinect though. Give it up.

They not changed figures just for Kinect... wait the fiscal report for the quarter to see the same number as shipped.

He went on to say that XBOX was the highest selling console in the US for the last 6 months.

That would include December, no?

I honestly am not that concerned with whether 360 beat Wii or not this holiday, but it appears like that is what he said.

Whilst the Wii isn't as impenetrable as Soriku likes to make out, i do believe there is at the minimum a 250k lead for Wii in Dec NPD

Nah, means June - Nov.

Yeah. It's very probable that 360 sold more than Wii in US last month...  but just in US.

Changed my figures? What? That doesn't even make sense.

"With sales already exceeding two and a half million units in just 25 days, we are on pace to reach our forecast of 5 million units sold to consumers this holiday."

You understood... Microsoft didn't change their figures just for Kinect... sold to [their] consumer = sold to retailers.

So wait the fiscal reports to see the 8 million listed as shipped.
