Erfolgreich wird Kinect wohl werden, bei der Summe wäre alles andere als verwunderlich...
Im folgenden Video siehst du, wie du consolewars als Web-App auf dem Startbildschirm deines Smartphones installieren kannst.

mich wundern die Zahlen von VGchartz auch. Dass Move die PS3-Verkäufe so enorm geboostet hätte, wär ja nicht ungewöhnlich. Merkwürdigerweise sind lt Vgchartz in Europa aber bislang weniger als 300.000 Sports Champions verkauft worden - immerhin das mit Abstand stärkste Pferd im Movestall.
Seltsam auch, wieso in Amiland die PS3 nur moderat über der Wii lag die letzten Wochen, in Europa aber angeblich doppelt so hoch. Kurioserweise soll sich die Wii aber letzte Woche um über 40% (!) gesteigert haben bei den europäischen Hardwareverkäufen - und das ohne einen Systemseller.
Wenn ich mir so die Preorder Charts aus den USA anschaue
8. Kinect Adventures! | X360 | 180,455
Und das es das am meisten vorbestellte Kinect Spiel ist, dann glaub ich kaum das das wirklich so erfolgreich sein wird wie es sich MS wünscht.

.http://conflictinggamers.com/2010/10/30/kinect-selling-out-believe-the-hype/It doesn’t matter if you like it or not, the hype for Kinect is building, and the half of a billion dollars Microsoft is dumping into advertising is working. Oprah is on board…so is The Ellen Show. In fact, so many different celebrities from Ashley Tisdale to Justin Bieber are in the mix, and the kids and their soccer Moms are eating this up.
Some of the online stores have been sold out now for a few days, including Amazon, Best Buy, and even Costco!! Both Gamestop and Newegg show they have stock at the moment after displaying they had sold out once before. As of right now, Dell and others have plenty of stock, but for how much longer is the real question.
If you’re looking for a good place locally to pick up Kinect, Gamestop is still taking pre-orders in store for the time being, but they said to hurry before they shut it down. I asked about a midnight launch and the manager said they didn’t think they were going to have one, but stay tuned for more info on that.
Your local Costco is another great place to purchase Kinect since they usually discount it a little and have a great return policy (you might want that if it’s a FAIL!). I was actually just at Costco and they told me that they will be getting the Kinect sensor in-store, as well as the Xbox 360 bundles. The in-store price is $139.99 for the Kinect sensor and $389.99 for the 250GB Xbox 360 Kinect bundle.
A tip for buying at Costco: Use your Costco American Express Card (don’t have one? Sign up in-store, it only takes a few minutes). You’ll get a small percentage back, plus a 90-day damage and theft protection plan, not to mention an added year to your warranty.
Some people are already banking on the hype and stocking up on pre-orders to resell on eBay, Craigslist, or the Amazon Marketplace. But since Amazon is already sold out, the cheapest you’ll be able to get Kinect on their Marketplace is $229.99!So are you planning to pick up Kinect? Tell us why you decided to “Jump In”. Is it to profit off the nOObs or to get your sluggish self off the couch and get fit while playing controller free gaming?

http://www.conceivablytech.com/3813/products/kinect-preorders-on-amazon-jump-to-250/How much would you pay to get your hands on Microsoft’s Kinect motion sensor on the day it becomes available?
It turns out that Kinect may be selling well as the regular stock of the standalone Kinect appears to be sold out at BestBuy.com and Amazon. According to analysts, Microsoft began mass-producing Kinect back in August and ramped the volume to 2 million units in September, which is in line with previous reports that Microsoft expects to sell about 4 million units this Christmas season.
The numbers suggest that there should be enough supply to sell a Kinect device to everyone who wants (and can afford) one. So it is somewhat surprising that Amazon itself does not list the Kinect as available anymore. Instead, the interested buyer is forwarded to a list of sellers who are, at the time of this writing, offering the standalone Kinect device, which has a suggested retail price of $150, for prices between $250 and $280.
I don’t quite expect an Ebay frenzy after Kinect is released given the potential supply and we may not see Kinect selling for thousands of dollars (anyone remember the $15,000 PS3?) in online auctions, but a price of $280 is certainly a sign of confidence, even if one has to wonder whether a $300 4GB Xbox 360/Kinect bundle isn’t the better choice: Keep the Kinect for yourself and give the Xbox 360 away as a Christmas present.
In fact, it is reasonable to assume that there will be far fewer Kinect standalone units available than bundles as the high price of Kinect will, conceivably, drive buyers toward a bundle purchase. At $150, Kinect is perceived to be substantially more expensive than, for example, Sony’s $99 Move controller bundle. While Microsoft may be criticized for the high price, it could be a well-calculated gamble that may turn into an example of business brilliance: Many buyers could, in fact, perceive the 4 GB bundle for “just” $300 as the better deal – or upgrade from an old Xbox 360 to a new 250 GB version for $400 and get the 250 GB console for only $250.
While we do not know Microsoft’s exact production numbers of each SKU, we are taking an educated guess that Microsoft is making a business decision here and will be shipping more Xbox 360/Kinect bundles than standalone units. Your best chance to get a Kinect sensor at launch may be the purchase of a 4 GB or 250 GB bundle. If you haven’t preordered a Kinect sensor, but want the device on the first day of availability, you may want to budget at least $300 for a bundle (or shell out $250 or the standalone device.)
Amazon’s best seller list indicates that interest in the Kinect sensor alone has faded, which is conclusive because of the lack of availability, as the device is listed at rank #138 in the video games section. The 250 GB Kinect bundle is listed at #10, the 4 GB bundle at #41 and the standalone 250 GB Xbox 360 console at #46.
That trend, by the way, is exactly the opposite of what we are seeing with Sony’s PS3 Move controller – which has launched already and may not be directly comparable as a result: There is more interest in standalone devices than a PS3/Move bundle. The 160 PS3 is the most popular PS3 product at position #22, followed by the PS3 Move controller bundle for $99 at position #26. The PS3 Move 320 GB console bundle is at #40.
Could that be a sign that the success of the Move controller (apparently there have been 2.5 million units sold) did not translate into many more PS3 sales? Possibly. Could the current trend be a sign that Kinect will sell quite a number of Xbox 360 consoles? We think so.
In fact, we believe that this could turn into the best Christmas season for Microsoft yet and it has a good shot at outselling the PS3 and especially the Wii, which has dominated Christmas sales in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Sieht man besonders gut an den Verkaufszahlen von Wii und 360Diese sind nun auf die XBox360 umgestiegen, weil Core Gaming auf der Wii nicht existent ist, Mit Kinect holt auch MS auch noch die verbliebenen Wii-Casuals ins Boot, die sich verbessern und ubgraden möchten. Hinzu die Technikbegeisterten und verbliebenen Casuals auf den Markt.
