Forums - Sales - Is the Kinect boost to the Xbox 360 an illusion?

The funny thing about the "500 million" advertisement campaign is that MS probably have spent more than 1 billion to develop the hardware and software behind Kinect but no one says anything about it (even MS).

About 360 sales,I believe that the new model, plus games like Halo Reach and Fable III have been helping the salesas (maybe as much as Kinet).

About Wii sales, it is simple: no new games means no hardware sales this is Wii is down YoY.

Maybe but Kinect Sports is making a good amount of money back as well. I for one, own a wii and have always loved nintendo but MS has or should I say upgraded a few wii fans that I know of.

I'm not to sure the sales came from fable and halo reach, not anything over what they would have already got in any case.  They are great games, I own them both but I don't think they would have sold no where as close to what they have without Kinect.

Kinect sports is bundled with every kinect, it's not making any profit that the hardware isn't

Nah.  From what I understand, some other organization came up with the technology and Microsoft just aquired them.....I don't know how much that aquisition cost, though.

My bad, guessing the whole wii sports thing confused me on that 



They are obviously not happy with EMEAA and japan. The article miss the point completely.

Here's another pic. Guess we shouldn't take anything you say to heart. You don't even know the game it's bundled with, let alone the specs and what it's capable of doing. NIce try though.

I know it's specs and I know what game is bundled with it, you've never read something fast and made a mistake?
