I'm sure there will be a very strong Hardcore Xbox FANBASE presense will be there no problem to buy the product and are at AMAZON right nao!...that's not the problem. The mass Appeal or lack thereof is the problem to the core market, the appeal to the casual market may or may not be strong, it's hard to gauge.

We will have to wait and see how this all plays out, but I can tell you, the general media and gaming media, have NOT been friendly.We will see if that has any affect in the real world come this holiday.

Those sales are updated daily, or hourly -- whatever it may be, it surely isn't an indignation of anything besides... well, that it's a popular item on Amazon and Amazon alone currently.

Not surprising. When MS announced they were focusing on motion control, suddenly lemmings went from "motion control is a gimmick and you look stupid flailing around" to "OMFG! MS has innovated gaming 4evah and done what nobody else has even thought of trying!!!!"

basically, lemmings have deluded themselves into believing MS invented motion control and Eye Toy.

*Casual gamer sees kinect advertisement, impulse purchase*

*Casual gamer glayly installs kinect, tries minority report gimmick and thinks "Wow this cool."

*Casual gamer thinks "Time to try games", and fires a game*

*Casual gamer plays 20 minute and suddenly realises "Wait a minute these games feel familiar". His eyes to move to console that is next to xbox 360, the wii and he says "For ****'s sake".*

*Casual tries to justify not selling it away, "but menu and voice recognition system is great".*

*Casual watches movie in the night, takes breaks often yelling "Xbox pause!, Xbox continue!(or what those were :P)"*

*Next day other residents of the aparments will come to knock his door demanding casual gamer shut ups at night*

*Only thing casual gamer can do with is minority report gimmick.*

150 dollar. Money well spent.

Well of course it will. New hardware almost always sells good initially regardless.

Lets just see how things pan out 6 months down the line. Im expecting Kinect to sell pretty well.

Yep, that's right. Did you also know the US government hired Bin Laden to cause the oil Spill in an effort to discredit BP and thus, Britain? Yep.

The Eye Toy = Natal? I did not know that. I guess PS1 = PS3 too?

parents, for their young kids? 12 year olds? casuals who want to play some 4 player crazyness? frats who want to see what happens when they get drunk and play kinect? NOT the hardcore people who they already own.

Im not really intersted in the first months sales for this thing, im interested in the sales several months later. Sure, its going to sell out because of the early adopters, but what about after they all bought one? will it still continue to do great? Anyone, I would have my money that, for this month, 360 outsells PS3. But who knows about the months after that.

This is good news for MS. The Wii before released was also bashed and expected to fail but it didn't. These peripherals are unpredictable variables, they could tank or be a success. We'll see.

True that. The lions share of the gamer market doesn't keep up with E3 at all. It's all about whether or not the early adopters actually like a product or not that moves the mass market.

Right...because tilt control in the six-axis is totally the same as motion control in the Wiimote. Must be why the PS3 has all those light-gun type shooter games. Or golfing games where you swing the controller like a golf club.

Do you even OWN a PS3 or Wii? Because I won both and six-axis is nothing like motion control. Not even close.

Amazon is one of the best sites to buy stuff off. I will be getting this for the wifey and the family and friends that comes over but I don't think I'm going to pre-order yet. Hopefully I find it in stores when it's out though.

I tried to tell people that bad plubicity isnt always a negative thing somtimes it can cause a significant amount of interest in a product. Only fanboys seem to bash natal and at this point i have no idea why since its not really meant for the hardcore. Expect this plus the new 360 slim to even further the gap between the ps3 and 360

That's true. Fanboys inadvertently are only giving it more publicity. Most of those bashing don't even own a 360, MS's targeted audience however seems to be responding. This could be the start of a different scenario in systems sales.

Yeah I consider myself a fairly "hardcore" MS user and I am most certainly waiting to buy Kinect, hell I may not even ever get it. His post is way off base lol...as are alot of the argumentative posts in this topic.

It's obvious why it's selling so well. In no particular order: 1) The new 360 was just announced, Kinect ready. 2) People like shiny stuff(See: anything made by Apple) 3) Microsoft's press conference was broadcasted on several different TV channels and Time's Square - as a result advertising to probably hundreds of millions of people. 4) People are using the money they saved on the Arcade to buy it.

I'm sure the Hardcore Xbox FANBASE will be there no problem to buy the product and are at AMAZON right nao!...that's not the problem. The mass Appeal or lack thereof is the problem.

We will have to wait and see how this all plays out, but I can tell you, the general media and gaming media, have NOT been friendly.We will see if that has any affect in the real world come this holiday.

The online gaming community has not taken kindly, but I've seen plenty of general and gaming media praising Kinect, while also pointing out just a few flaws. I don't think your statements have any basis in reality. Move is a Wii clone, it simply won't have the same type of appeal as Kinect, which is something newer to the general public.
