Snake Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Micrsoft's Kudo Tsunoda believes that Kinect will 'blow away' sales of the iPad when it launches later this year. "The preorders have been really strong. As far as what we're looking at for Holiday, this is going to be stuff that'll blow away any of the sales you've seen with iPad," Tsunoda told Gamasutra. "The Xbox 360 is already selling better than the Wii and Sony right now. Kinect's really just going to boost that to a whole new level." Apple's iPad has enjoyed phenomenal success since its launch on April 2, shifting some three million units in just 80 days. Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg is also expecting similar levels of success, saying recently "We believe this will be the biggest launch in our history, for Xbox. We will sell more Kinect sensors than we did [systems] at Xbox 360 launch." Kinect launches worldwide this November. http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/112/1121570p1.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Does he mean they will outsell the numbers Ipad did in its opening few weeks? If he does then he must be one hell of an optimist. This will sell well but not that well. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorCodePurple Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Uhhh guys we are comparing a motion controller system-which happens to technically be just an accessory, to an ipad which is a tablet pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Umm we arent comparing their functionalities. Nothing wrong with comparing the sales potential of one gadget with another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choron ka raja Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Umm we arent comparing their functionalities. Nothing wrong with comparing the sales potential of one gadget with another. So, you mean you can compare apples and oranges, just cuz they are both fruits.

WhiteWolf Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 He is comparing sales of two gadgets ? Whats wrong in that ?....I know both products are different but don't forget one is MS Product and one Apple product....both are arch rivals...

Aftrunner Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 If a shopkeeper tells me they are selling more apples than oranges I dont find that a bizzare comparison. Again, no one is comparing functionality. Just mass appeal and sales potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorCodePurple Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 16 GB,the lowest ipad is 499$ Kinect is 150$ now i ask again where is the basis for comparison ? ipad is not an accessory,its a gaming device where ipad has gaming as its feature and the price difference is more than twice.

Bulovski Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 ^^ Then people shouldn't be comparing Nintendo DS and ipads. Yet the inevitable comparison comes up. The thing about gadgets is that they all fall under the heading "cool electronic items" and this kind of comparison comes up every holiday season. Everybody wants to know which item sold the most. Couple of years ago the highest seller was the Wii, and it's biggest competitor was a Tickle Me Extreme Elmo doll. So thees comparisons are absolutely fair - screw the price.
