Microsoft Sells 8 Million Kinect Units In Just 60 Days Since Launch

http://www.redmondpie.com/microsoft-sells-8-million-kinect-units-in-just-60-days-since-launch/

*yawn*

does anyone here truly enjoy kinect?

Old news? Or am I from the future, cos I knew for like a month now that Kinect has sold 8 million units.

kinect is pretty cool. its the only game my folks would play and thats pretty cool to me.

I'm not a fan of Kinect, but better that than iPad

I think Dance Central has proven to many people that Kinect is great when devs use it properly and make something thats great for using your whole body with.

The funny part is all the cows trying to downplay it. If the roles were reversed and Move was doing this good you know they would be singing a different tune. I do not own Kinect or plan to own one at this time but I am not a hater also. People seem to love it so power to them

I think that's grossly exaggerating and creating massive assumptions. We don't know what will happen. Maybe it will all be trash but then it could also be the step closer to the holodeck from star trek or THE WORLD from .hack//.AncientDozer

It's Dance Central causing the sales. The only proper kinect game so far, and extremely popular.KungfuKitten

Who cares about Cows. GAMERS don't want to see this kind of thing be overly successful. Why defend Kinect or Move when they're both obviously just cash-ins on Nintendo's casual success? I, for one, don't want Sony or Microsoft focusing all their time and effort on these gimmicks. I want core games, and nothing more. So more focus on casual games doesn't benefit me at all... :? Look at Microsoft, they've already started this year with their lack of exclusives. They could have taken that $500,000,000 and made 15+ GREAT core games with it. Instead, they spend all that money on brainwashing advertisements to cash in on the casuals. That's why 360 core gamers wont get crap from Microsoft first party studios this year.Messiahbolical-

Judging from what I've seen from Nintendo and what I've already seen since the Move and the Kinect have been out(and pretty much every game set to released for them), no it's not revolutionary. How can motion controls be revolutionary when practically all of the good games on the Wii are games that are just as good if not better off without motion controls? Look at NSMB Wii, SMG, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Metroid Prime 3, Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Goldeneye 007, and the list goes on and on and on. All of these great Wii exclusives that either don't use motion controls in a particularly important manner(in fact, most of them just do "shake remote to do this attack") and some of them BENEFIT using a normal controller. (Like SSBB... most people would rather just use Gamecube controllers :? ) Some revolution, huh?Messiahbolical-

Well said. I agree on everything.

It's amazing what $500,000,000 worth of brainwashing can do.Messiahbolical-

I agree with this completely.

Cool story bro? :? Want me to post picture after picture after picture of the PS3's exclusive line-up for the year for a little comparison? :|

Messiahbolical-

I though this was about Microsoft not giving the core any first party exclusives this year, not another library comparison breh? :|

who cares if the Ps3 has more exclusives this year, you lot make me laugh, out of all of the 'cool' Ps3 exclusives this year i only want ONE, killzone 3 and by SW standards it flopped, there are THREE xbox 360 exclusives i want to play this year, gears 3,project kingdoms and forza 4, it's not abot how many exclusives are released on a console, it's about how many of those exclusives people actually want to play, you know, personal preference, besides, i believe in 'quality over quantity', Halo reach 9.5 > KZ3 8.5, forza 3 9.5 > GT5 8.0, i think the Ps3 is an awesome machine but it's exclusives are just not my cup of tea, in the real world more doesn't mean better,loldelta3074

Uncharted 2 9.5 > Gears of War 2 9.0

Little Big Planet 1 + 2 9.0 + 9.0 > Nothing 0.0

Resistance 2 9.0 > Nothing 0.0

ModNationRacers 8.0 > Nothing 0.0

Heavy Rain 8.5 = Alan Wake 8.5

Demon's Souls 9.0 GOTY > Nothing 0.0

Infamous 9.0 > Crackdown 7.8

MLB The Show AA-AAA > Nothing 0.0

Ratchet And Clank A Crack In Time 8.5 = Banjo Kazooie N&B 8.5

As you can see the PS3 has both quality AND quantity. ;) And there's a lot of exclusives the PS3 has that the 360 just doesn't have an answer for while the PS3 has an answer for just about every 360 exclusive out there. That's fine though. The 360 gets marginally better ports of multiplats than the PS3 though... so it all evens out, right? ;)

just because you prefer something, it doesn't make it better quality.

I would like for the Move and Kinect to be successful.

Come on now. Not only was PDZ overrated by Gamespot even for it's time(81 metascore, which is sad since standards hadn't even been established for the gen yet as it was a launch title) but it's 5 and a half years old now while Resistance 2 is 2 and a half years old... Do you really think they're equal? :?

Meh, I'll give it to you anyways. But where's PDZ2 then? We've already had Resistance 1 + 2 and Resistance 3 on the way. So where's PDZ 2 + 3? to match up?

Just face it, the 360 only has 1 great exclusive FPS franchise while the PS3 has 2. And on top of that, there's still a lot of genres there that Microsoft hasn't matched Sony on. I know you probably don't care, and either to I to some extent... but you can't say quality over quantity if the PS3 has just as much(sometimes more) quality exclusives in almost every genre WITH more quantity.

*yawn*

does anyone here truly enjoy kinect?
