Forums - Gaming Discussion - Will Kinect outsell the Balance Board?

mchaza on 10 February 2011

Kinect will push very hard to 15 million and thats pushing very hard. 

considering that there is now 50 million xbox's (60 by years end) i doubt 40-50% will buy an kinect, thats obsured.



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong

Has Nintendo even released figures for the Balance Board, why are people adding up Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus numbers and coming out with the totl amount of balance boards lol.

Regardless, we'll see how Kinect sells this year, it'll have another xmas on par with last year though, so it'll easily surpass 20 million by the end of the year.

And the sales won't die then either ...


Wii Fit Plus keeps on selling. So no chance.

If you're gonna reply actually come up with something that refutes my post. Wii Fit Plus is selling, but you have no idea what the userbase is. It could be anywhere from 25 to 40 million. Kinect will surpass 20 million this year with ease (really if you don't think it will do the figures without bias interfering) after that, it's not going to flop like people expect it too. Until Nintendo give figures on the Balance board you're only saying it won't because, well obvious reasons

There is no way to tell right now, if Balance board is at 30 million sales, and they don't do a sequel for whatever reason, Wii fit sales will slowly simmer down. Kinect is a very different peice of HW. It's going to have meaningful price cuts, SW pushes the Wii fit never saw, and most of all massive support from Microsoft, they want this to be big everywhere. All those factors can't be ignored.

For gods sakes, it just sold 8 million in 8 weeks and you think another 7 in its lifetime is going to be "pushing it" read your post out loud, it's absurd.

Um they did say in the recent financial report.  According to NIntendo as of the end of December 2010, they have shipped over 34 million balance boards (Source).  So given about 40 million copies of Wii Fit/Wii Fit Plus shipped, does show most buyers of Wii Fit Plus are buying the one with the balance board.  Also shows that current customers of Wii Fit aren't likely upgrading to Wii Fit Plus, which isn't too surprising as the differences between the two are not too extreme.

Well kinect had Xbox 360 bundles compared to Wii Fit, it has a 'chance' to surpase the original Wii Fit. It won't however surpase Wii Fit franchise or the balance board. I highly doubt original users of Wii Fit bought Wii Fit Plus disc exceeding 5 million.

You're also forgetting that Wii Fit Plus is selling very close to kinect in EMEAA and it's older. Wii Fit Plus has yet to be bundled outside of EMEAA and if it were to be bundled in Japan and America, sales would explode which would rival Kinects' numbers.  Wii Fit Plus has also yet to have a price cut. These are factors that can't be ignored. You didn't include them for obvious reasons
