funny how quicky kinect restocked on to shevels in wal-mart and gamestop while..

So when its out of supply its "Lulz MS didnt ship enough to create shortage!" and when they are in supply its "LULZ nobody is buying the Kinect because it sucks."

But then when its sold 8 million its "LULZ that PoS is selling and MS dont deserve it because they marketed it" Take your pick:?

You have an odd sense of humor.

You just compared 2 different products and their availabilty at 4 different retailers..............that makes no sense whatsoever.

Just because MS ramped up production because Kinect is selling out everywhere, while Sony doesn't care about it's fanbase and keeps production levels low is what I think he meant.Blixxed

Agreed, no matter what they do they'll always get hated. But I'm not a big fan of this *let's make it look like it's sold out everywhere so everyone thinks it's fantastic* strategy :S I hated to wait several months just to play Gladiator versus a friend with 2 Moves each -.-'

isn't this the truth? just look at the situation right now. 'preorder now because of limited stock!" and two weeks after the holiday season, they already have stock. uhhh...what? i thought Kinect was so limited i had to wait for months? no, only two weeks.

MS said there will be shortage of stock. now people who were on the fence went out and bought Kinect in the holidays because they might be out of stock. and then bam! two weeks later, the shelves are already re-stocked with Kinect. not only did the pre-orders rise because of the 'shortage' claims, but now MS has 'sold' more units to the retailers like Wal-Mart. and now you got what, 8 million Kinects 'sold'? rofl.

I hope you aren't claiming Move is in short supply. I was able to get a Move pack with Sports Champions and an extra Move controller from Best Buy last Friday. They had plenty.

only if you connect the dots.

It's a conspiracy anyway.

Short supllies is being done on purpose by MS

The Millions of Kinect Sales are primarily because of MS's marketing

Some of the good Kinect games like Dance central, Kinect sports and Kinectamals are praised by biased media.

Local meijer has no 360's in stock but has like 20 kinects instock my local bestbuy has no 360s or kinects in stock.

as Someone else put it and I'll put it in my own words...cows can't have it all these different ways its either

1. a useless product unlike the move with its omega christ 2nd comming of motion sensing and its only outselling the move and making the move look like yesterdays fad because of 500 million marketing.
2. Its not selling at all cause its still in stock.
3. Because its not instock microsoft purposefully shortaged the stock.

You just gotta pick one cant keep flipflopping.

Wow, still butt hurt about the success of Kinect? Just give it up kid because it's game over. Even Kinect has sold better than the Move in the heart of Europe. It's time to move on son:

Let me see here. Are you saying that MS shipped 8 million so there for there is plenty of supply to restock shelves? I can see that. And in my town, during xmas eve I could only find 3 move controllers for sale. I was able to find the bundle in a few places but as far as move controllers there was 3 controllers in my entire town, and I purchased 2 of them. My town consists of 2 walmarts, 1 best buy, 1 kmart, 2 Roses, 1 Target, 5 gamestops, 1 toysRus, and a slew of odds and end stores. The 3 I found was at Kmart, a store everyone here forgets about lol.

System Wars summed up right here.

its all to do with the suppliers and stores ordering the product in aswell.

My work barely has any orders for M&S right now cause of various weather problems in the uk...cant complain means more time not working :P

[QUOTE="cainetao11"]Yet 8 million sold. What are you hinting at TC?Kashiwaba

They don't need an employee at every store. Every time a Kinect is sold it's serial number is scanned just like an Xbox,or a PS3. This information is sent back to MS and Sony instantly. It's why when I called Sony about an issue with my PS3 a couple of months ago they had all the info of when the PS3 was sold, and where, even though I never took the time to register it. Same thing when I called MS about my Xbox a few years back.

They pretty much know every console that is sold. It's the same principle of how you buy a phone card, or a points card and it's instantly activated at the register.

How is it funny that Microsoft is a big enough company that they can keep filling stock? Just because Sony is a smaller company and could not afford to keep stock up has nothing to do with Microsoft.Eltroz

Sony as a company is actuaally bigger :S media divisions,semiconductors,gaming division,consumer products,LCD panel manufacture :S

Trust me when you look at sheer sizes and terms of what they have at their disposal they are bigger.
