I had friends over yesterday, and we did a little dance central and kinect sports. They had so much fun that they said that they we going out first thing this morning to find them a Kinect system. Lucky for them they already own an xbox so they'll only need to spend money for Kinect and the games that they want.

@TheColbertinator - Nice try, but your troll attempt has failed.

Tuttle, what you want as a fanboy is different from facts and truth.

Truth is, Kinect is already forgotten in every country except the US (it sells a bit in the UK too but that's all). Nobody cared about it and it even didn't reach PS Move sales until now (1.3 million Kinect worldwide vs 3 million PS Move).

It's a huge failure for MS, especially considering they had a 500 million marketing budget. Right now they're probably several hundred millions in the red with the Kinect project (R&D must have been very costly too for nothing).

1.3 million is pityful compared to what they hoped for.

Check on Amazon, it's not even in top 20 anywhere anymore except the US (one country).

'When Microsoft xBox first showcased Project Natal at E3-2010, they did show off the NetFlix application allowing users to play and pause movies with voice command.'

LOL @ the fan bloggers whos simply can't get simple info right..

At this years E3, Microsft showed Kinect working with Zune movies and music(not Netflix), and when it released it still works perfectly with Zune.

Kinect sold a Million in the first 10 days and is flying off of the shelves this holiday. I went to Walmart and some girl was playing Dance Central and the crowd was going crazy. Some seeing it for the first time.

I personally know people who bought bundles on the straenth of seeing it at my place alone. But, that doesn't even come close to what going to happen this holiday.

Kinect will sell through this holiday and push great numbers for Microsft.

With the device predicted to sell half as many bundles as the stand-alone models it's doing exactly what Micrsoft envisioned it to do..sell consoles.

The analysts are eating crow saying the device would'nt sell at the curent price and it's doing just that.

The 500 Million campaign is for at leat 2 years of advertising. People keep pretending its for the launch alone.

At the end of the day, If Kinect is pushing hardware, Xbox Live acounts, and game sales equals a huge win for the Microsoft.

How much it sells remains to be seen..

Personally, I've been playing since launch and I own 6 games..the holidays only confirmed what I originally thought..this thing makes people feel like the days when we first owned the Wii

I think its funny when people say kinect is just a eye toy and the eye toy can do the same as kinect because it really can't. First off with the eye toy you need a clear back ground to play games and with kinect you don't. Only people who are playing an eye toy game can be in its view kinect you don't. Every game needs a different setting and hight for the eye toy kinect you set up once and never need to move it again. Eye toy will not work in low light kinect will. I have both the eye toy and kinect and kinect is the far better tech and MS have done a good job with it so far but just like they have done with the Xbox 360 I can see kinect getting better with each update released for it. Yes at this moment it has no so called core games for it but they will come and the kinect games are a much need change for the 360 to not just be seen as a fps console. MS are onto a winner with kinect and has proved every ps fan boy on this site wrong.

TheLastGuardian, only people who don't own the Kinect would say such a thing. I have the PS3 Eye and the Kinect and the Eye toy is no Kinect. It doesn't even come close. I think the Eye toy was the first attempt and the technology was not far enough along at that time. The PS3 had the right idea but just at the wrong time. The Eye Toy sucks. I bought the dang thing and a month after I bought it, it's collecting dust. The fact that I now have to go out and buy MOVE to get any more use out of my Eye Toy proves that.

@mcstorm, ps eye and eyetoy are 2 different things smh
