Forums - Microsoft - How will Kinect preform during the holidays?

Michael-5 on 01 September 2011

I think Kinect will sell just as well as last year. I agree with you about the "casual" Wii sales pattern. Low sales outside the holidays, massive spike during.

However I also feel Kinect will see a price cut to at least $120. It may also become bundled with other older Kinect games like Dance Central 1 or Kinectimals.

I feel new Kinect software will also favor quite well. I expect Dance Central 2 to outsell Dance Central 1, and I think Kinect Adventures will reach 20 million sales total.

I'm pretty sure star wars will push kinect on casual in USA.... I mean anything star wars here is almost a boom for anyone from 25 to 90 years old here... so if they market that you can be a jedi for the first time of your life I'm pretty sure it will push sales... plus if they bundle at the right place you will have a Wii like effect.... all those casual that played it a couple times at friend house during a party and will buy one because they think it's cool and not especially play that much or buy any other games

The Star Wars game has been delayed and is not coming this holiday season:

yeah I know then again holliday season is way past the 1st of january.... and it won't refrain people to buy the kinect bundle for chrsitmas with all the discount in anticipation for something they know is comming..... I still think kinect will do good... might not put them first place but it will be big for a somehow casual new tech.... and you have a lot of other kinect games that have already a name for them that are coming out.... I see more and more bars having kinect nights and that itself promotes the system..... I haven't seen a single one with PS3 move night ( you probably have some)
