Okay so with MS announcing Kinect shipments to be over 18m, this thread could very well be outdated when (if) we get the next adjustments.
Thinking that overall software will rise as well and not just the Kinect Adventures sales.

Still going biweekly from now on. However, I'm going to list all adjustments which shouldn't be a problem.

Unfortunately we didn't get Kinect SW adjustments last year when Kinect Wwas undertracked. Think that's cos SW isn't based on Kinect HW sales rates, rather their own data. So makes sense they won't be adjusted.

really depends IMO if Kinect was undertracked during this holiday season or already before.
I mean the numbers must make a certain amount of sense and especially the smaller ones below 300k are hard to track, so I wouldn't be surprised if ioi used a certain percental increase pattern for them.

I really think MS should be made to release SW shipment info, we could be off either way pretty bad given they don't give anything away in that regard, not very helpful of them is it. With that said, hopefully they reveal something like 'Kinects attach rate has hit 3.5, or something.

That would be quite useful.

Anyway I haven't played it yet, but I've seen that "Puss in Boots" has 2 really good reviews. Both claiming that the game is pretty short, but also that Kinect has been integrated VERY well and that the game is fun.

Just to give a better insight into the games I'm listing here. I'd buy it when it gets cheaper.

Puss in Boots is a decent game, but rather short. Not worth full retail.

First adjusments are in.

Before:

Requires Kinect Sensor	10th Dec	17th Dec	24th Dec	31st Dec	Total
1.	Kinect Adventures!	611,146	772,957	1,010,053	471,873	15,420,728

After:

Requires Kinect Sensor	10th Dec	17th Dec	24th Dec	31st Dec	Total
1.	Kinect Adventures!	712,505	899,371	1,175,763	537,975	15,945,758

Still a huge gap to "over 18m" Kinects shipped. That's why I said first adjustment.

Updated folks.

Quite a few adjusments (mostly downwards), but only a few 10k over the Christmas persiod except for Halo CA and Just Dance 3 which I think were adjusted by 100k or more.
