Kinect sells 2.5 Million in first 25 days

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

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.

Really? So what is your definition of FAILURE if a device sells millions in less then a month and appeals to the general public? So you called the Wii a FAILURE just because it doesn't appeal to you but to 70mil world wide gamers?

That is VERY impressive. But my question is: How many people have already felt that they got their money's worth by now? And how buyers are still waiting to get their money's worth? I mean we're talking $150 peripheral. Surely, not everyone could have felt they got their money's worth already.wiifan001

Games like Psychonauts and Okami failed miserably in terms of sales, yet they were highly regarded games.

To elaborate more on my previous statement. I don't give a flying **** about sales.

[QUOTE="AbleFa3"]

[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.clone01

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

Even the diehard gamers on NeoGaf forum are on their knees too:

$200 for one game? I've played it and liked it, but it's definitely not worth $200. I'd probably buy the game if it didn't require a $150 add-on, but sadly, it does.

So, the 3DO and Dreamcast were regarded as had the most unique games and the outcome of those systems....? So you called them success because they sold poorly and you don't give***** about sales?

What's popular isn't always what's great.

When you spend half a billion on marketing, you better expect some results! :P

Wow. That's an average of 100,000 units a day.:o

"as far as you know the kinect could very well fail in the long run despite selling 5 million at Christmas time"

What? An add-on peripheral device selling 5 million units in less than 2 months still considered as a failure? Wow, what is the world we are living in now?

"so far there isnt one guaranteed killer hit for kinectin the future."

Then again, could I borrow your time machine again? Please?

"not even a add on for one of the 360 big hits"

Really? You can google on the gaming forums for reviews to see which are the big hits or I can help you here: "Dance Central, Kinect Sports, Kinectimals, Your Shape"

Imagine the sales when all these hardcore games are released for Kinect

idk how people are still saying kinect will fail. i mean, its already got better games than move and has sold just as well, if not better (especially considering the price point). if anything move is failing.mtradr43

The funny part is that people called Move the only one for hardcore games and turns out Kinect has now 15 upcoming hardcore games confirmed and keep going !!!! From some of the best developers on the planet too

Kinect will soon be in every game and many games will go Kinect only too

Ughh. I saw all the available Kinect games. There was nothing but sports, fitness and some dancing trash.

Blargh.

Then you must have been one of those sad fanboys praying every night to God for the failure of Kinect so millions of new gamers could not enjoy it. Am I right???

Here comes the name calling......

so the point is, how much did the move sell?

4.1 million units or something like that, flipped past it on n4g so dont take it as the truth.

so the point is, how much did the move sell?

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