lol i got a x1 and a PS4 and even a U and unliek most of you im a gamer.  And i like most have no intrest in ksports, game will likely flop unless massive giveaways happen even then ill be a failue in comparison to 360 K games. 

You are talking about sales and or give aways.  Giveaways that are a direct responce to its competitior.  You are talking about bundles, how well that bundles does also depends how well its recives by the consumer in compareison to its direct competitior.  You know who that is.

Titanfall did great as did Iss part due to lacking any direct competition and their massive hype levels.  How much Ksports does sales  giveaways in bundles is directly influenced by how well in competes with its nearest rivel and how well the price points comapre given its lack of hype.   Its sales or giveaways will mostly depand on how well Xbox One sales and that depands how well it competes with its rival.

Option C) im looking at the big picture, Its just common sense buddy.

I think it will do ok.

If i was to guess, I would say 700 to 1 million by end of the year. The only thing I cannot figure out is if the XbO current users really care about the game to go buy it. I suspect not. I hope it does well as i know someone who worked on it... and he is proud of what he has done on the game (not my cup of tea of a game though)

It's already more requested at my place than any other Kinect/wii Motion game - and that's the the one wake boarding game. People like it, and with the extra games and mode it should do very well to capture the family game night type.

Plus, it's a good target for existing Xbox One owners to get digitally. If they are used to using Kinect, they would want to just switch with their voice.

Much will also depend on how Microsoft markets it.

while it's releasing now I'm pretty sure they plan on selling the majority of KSR units through bundles during holliday season... so in ANY case I wouldn't expect a kinectless SKU this year, what ever happens at launch especially if a price cut is inbound after E3 accross the board....

but imo we will never see a kinectless SKU no matter what, the reasons are really simple taking it out will not make MS make more money even with an increase in sales... the loss in R&D and the shrunk margin would hurt them more...IMO they'd be better off cutting price agressively while keeping it.... because today they would have to sell a kinectless SKU at 350 minimum to be competitive (they can't sell the XB without kinect at the same price than a PS4 it makes even less sense than selling it at 500 with kinect) and I doubt they would make more money at that price point than they would at 400 while keeping the kinect

in any case the loss surely wouldn't be vastly different and they would still amortize R&D... so yeah by the time a kinectless SKU might be a doable without wasting too much of their initial investment.. they'll be able to slash the price while keeping it bundled anyway...

so yeah I really think a kinectless SKU is not a viable business option no matter what happens they are pretty much stuck with it.... at least for the time being and later on it will be a moot point...

I predict people disagreeing with toastboy will win 5:1 or more against the ones agreeing.

Kinect sports on xbox360 sold 5 millions lifetime no way Rivals will do better.

So is it selling like hotcakes or cold fish cakes ?

Kinect Sports Rivals thus far - 170k   ( a little bit short of your 700k April prediction)

I believe you toastboy!   4 million hot cakes here we come!   LOL      :)

Bomba LA bomba. Lol.
