Kinect a success? No way, but all the haters in SW were saying it was gonna fail. What happened?
Its on pace for 4.5 - 5 million before the end of the year.

When people said it was gonna fail, I doubt they were talking about sales numbers. Most of us don't give a **** about sales.
Great sales, but the games still look lame. Kinect is reminding me of Wii-fit. Still don't understand how that sold millions either.EmperorSupreme
Funny, because everyone that has played Dance Central, Kinect Sports say they are amazing and the best of their kind and also would be impossible wihtout Kinect full body mapping
[QUOTE="kenmid"]
If they get to 4.5 million, I think that will be good. So much for Kinect failing
lundy86_4
Anyone assuming Kinect would fail in sales needs serious help. Failing in software line-up and utilization of the motion controller is a different story though :P
i never thought it would fail buy any means, but those are surprising numbers, imo.[QUOTE="EmperorSupreme"]Great sales, but the games still look lame. Kinect is reminding me of Wii-fit. Still don't understand how that sold millions either.AbleFa3

Not everyone is into those kinds of games. I refer you to my previous post.. like 4 up.

Move numbers were shipped
Also Kinect was out of stock since launch and sold out everywhere, if MS had 10 million out, would have been sold by now too
Also xbox 360 is sold out everywhere too, it is impossible to find them online in US
Sorry, I am a kinect fan and everything but that is ridiculous.
All of our local gamestop's/walmarts/bestbuys have maintained stock of Kinect. Microsoft has been shipping them like crazy to make sure they're in stock. Also, it should be noted I am around big cities. Denver-Colorado Springs area.
Even when I picked up my kinect there were huge stacks of them.
The sales are great, but let's not be unrealistic. If there were 10 million at launch atleast 5-6 million of those would be sitting on shelves until Later next year.

yeah if you add black friday...with a new item plus sales your going to get an item being sold out. this isnt rocket science..the fact is kinect wasnt sold out prior to black friday....its been in stock in most places since launch...even on launch day there were no claims of multiple stores being out of stock or a huge demand etc...and even if some stores were out of stock its was usually because it just came out and thats typical for any product.How is it possible to completely ignore everything I said?
The stores are not sold out.
Also, just checked a few online retailers and not every version of the SKU is sold out. Man, your kind of fanboy is the worst kind. Which is sad to say because I'm a big Xbox fan and I picked up a Kinect at launch.

Wow, also untrue.. Kinect had 1 million sales within the first 10 days, the other 1.5 million has been since then.
Also, Amazon has NOT been sold out of Kinect/Xbox this whole time. They recently went on backorder within the past day or so. Your opinion is wrong, quit sharing it.

Kinect is absolutely not sold out everywhere... if I wanted to (and I don't) I could walk down the street right now and pick one up. Neither is the Xbox 360. Inventing facts doesn't help your point at all.
sorry i dont believe this report. microsoft probably bought half of those and gave them away like the boys and girls club. i need to see receipts or something
_SWAG_
Actually i dont believe it either, 2.5 million seem too low for 20 days (or 10 if you count the lack of stock)
and you got this from where exactly?Majority of the speculated $500 million marketing campaign revolves around contest give-aways. I wonder how many of those 2.5 million units were from actual sales.

your not very bright are you...your grasping for straws and its sad.. wow so this isnt the move...lol.....im not buying the starter kit because i already have a ps eye and i dont want the game...did you ever think that why people arent buying the starter kit . there could be dozens of reasons why people dont need a STARTER KIT.. .all your doing is picking and choosing links to make your argument seem valid.... your just ignoring the truth .How impressed I am by these results depends on afew things.
A.) If it's sold to consumers or to retailers (Usually we find it's the second one on any form of software or hardware no matter the company) as 2.5 million to retailers would put it well below MS expectations as they place stalk orders2-3 weeks in advance and thus would only expect to sell that many by the week before christmas.
B.) Correlating expansion of software and hardware. Has it pushed units or even passed the marketing expanse.
C.) Has this made ajor developers decide to utilise this accersory as a main game devloping tool of a high budget game.
On a positive note despite my current 'Meh' approach to the kinect it has became a above average peripheral/accesory in terms of sales behind only the N64 Rumble and Expansion packs, Wii motion plus, Mario Kart Wii wheel, Rckband peripherals, Wii Fit board etc etc. Very few of those are expensive as the Kinect which is a positive for it.

I'm not surprised but I still think Kinect is a bit crappy. Well, as long as we aren't forced to use it for any "core" 360 games then I shall be fine with it.

Because Historically Peripherals have done very badly....Less units than I'm assuming this has pushed already.
E.g Sega CD, N64 DD.

tryagainlater
Actually 10+ coreKinect games are confirmed so far and almost all 360 future games will probably use Kinect in many ways
your not very bright are you...your grasping for straws and its sad.. wow so this isnt the move...lol.....im not buying the starter kit because i already have a ps eye and i dont want the game...did you ever think that why people arent buying the starter kit . there could be dozens of reasons why people dont need a STARTER KIT.. .all your doing is picking and choosing links to make your argument seem valid.... your just ignoring the truth .[QUOTE="sireclaborn"][QUOTE="AbleFa3"]
Of course i ignored it, this is not Move, this is Move stick, here is the Move Kit
http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Starter-Bundle-3/dp/B002I0J4NE/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1291080027&sr=1-1
And is not sold out at all, it is in stock, the stick is sold out because people buy a second one and maybe 3 of them for 2 players, or even 7 of them for 4 players, of course will be sold out if every gamer has to buy 5+ of them
But the point is how many buy the starter kit to actually use the sticks ? This is not sold out at all and never was

You cant use a stick without the camera, that is a fact, i cant see why someone would buy a stick wihtout the camera, since it would do nothing
PS Eye is also in stock BTW

Acording to Amazon.com there are 263 Kinects available new and some used. This thread is full of hypocrisy and fanboyism.

apparenly you don't read those 263 new are sellers from peoples homes lol, like EBAY, i doubt kinect is really 200$+? u click on it and everything is like 200$ and more because they selling it for more because demand is so high. Amazon itself is not selling it, its sold out.cant read as well[QUOTE="sireclaborn"][QUOTE="AbleFa3"]

Not this again, this is not Amazon stock, this is people that bought Kinect and now sell it for huge prices, like 200-300$, which of course noone buys, people are not always that hasty you know, when they can just wait and get Kinect in normal price later
Again, Kinect is out of stock in Amazon (and every other online US store too), this is the fact

Amazon itself is not selling it, its sold out. the point he was getting at is they are available if you really were desperate ...actually the same exist for the move... but on topic anyone who buys a kinect for 200+ is an idiot....you can easily go to the store and pick one up...there not in high demand and they are in stores...[QUOTE="MattDistillery"][QUOTE="sireclaborn"] cant read as well warz0r09

Amazon itself is not selling it, its sold out.Obviously as you read the list you missed the miraiade of Toy stores, Electronc stores and video game specialist websites selling it. Btw I'm hardly having a dig at the kinect (If you look at my orignal post in this thread)mearly stating it is available on one specific website that earlier someone claimed incorrectly it wasn't.
Btw resorting to personal digs over factual context is hardly the best way to go about articulating your point. It comes of as desperate and fanboyish.
