Great sales, but the games still look lame. Kinect is reminding me of Wii-fit. Still don't understand how that sold millions either.

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.

If they get to 4.5 million, I think that will be good. So much for Kinect failing

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.

I think people, kinect owners, are getting a bit too excited here :?. Its a new hyped to death add-on by Microsoft, that is being advertised like mad, meaning you see its face everywhere, and is out just before and in time for black friday and cyber mondays. Who on earth did not think it wouldnt sell during this holiday period? Will there be another thread in a week or two when MS releases numbers saying Kinect sold 3 mill, followed by the typical response "haters gonna hate" even though no one has pretty much said anything negative about Kinect in weeks (well, I havent noticed a lot if any threads about it since launch. Just you know, that one user) ? Kinect is fun, we get it and understand you enjoy it but c'mon, displaying Amazon numbers and screaming about teh haters is getting old. So far so good though as it, I think, passed the MOVE or just about to pass the MOVE in sells. Its in the millions so now lets 'move' on from that and talk about teh gamez.

time will tell. if it really catches on, it may find some less casual support. right now, i really don't find anything game-wise very appealing. but that's just me.

[QUOTE="hexashadow13"]Didn't move sell that much as well in the first month? I'm basing this off of the Wikipedia article.JStroud88

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.

Every day we see when will the ps3 outsell the 360 or other game sales threads. The Kinect just came out how do we know there won't be any quality titles?

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.

the 360 and ps3 have more quality titles than the wii Move and Kinect have only jokes. A future good Kinect/Move title? Maybe. Till then I'm just awesome with my non gimmicks controllers :D

That is 100% wrong imo, i followed Amazon US since Kinect launch and Kinect was out of stock nearly every day since its launch there, which means these 2.5 million were sold in just 5-10 days max out of the 25

Also none of PS3 or Move are sold out everywhere, they are in stock everywhere really

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.

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.

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.

Actually i dont believe it either, 2.5 million seem too low for 20 days (or 10 if you count the lack of stock)

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.

That is 100% wrong imo, i followed Amazon US since Kinect launch and Kinect was out of stock nearly every day since its launch there, which means these 2.5 million were sold in just 5-10 days max out of the 25

Also none of PS3 or Move are sold out everywhere, they are in stock everywhere really

last time we had the same argument and you decided to ignore this link...the move is sold out on amazon and its been sold out..... this doesnt mean that regular retailers are out of stock... face it the kinect is not sold out everywhere... http://news.yahoo.com/s/pcworld/20101105/tc_pcworld/kinectlaunchgoesfromoddtoweird

After spending $500 million on convincing people to buy that gimmick, it would be embarrassing if it didn't sell millions.

2.5 million in 25 days is not bad, what is the general census on kinect btw?

Of course i ignored it, this is not Move, this is Move stick, here is the Move Kit

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

I'm still not seeing it blowing away Move like people said though, it sold the same as Move in it's first month.

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.

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

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.

Actually 10+ coreKinect games are confirmed so far and almost all 360 future games will probably use Kinect in many ways

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.

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

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...

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.

2.5 MILLION IS A FLOP CONSIDERING THE FACT what ms expected it to do -they wanted to take down wii ,

plus how much is that compared to the overall userbase ! 34 million? pft , until it passes the 10.5 gameboyplayers sold world wide its not considered much more then a hype peripheral/add-on
