People keep saying that Kinect is doing well and not providing any links that prove so, All I know is Nintendo isn't in any danger just because Microsoft sold a couple million Kinects over Christmas, that kill the 360 after a week.

Yeah, Nintendo has the kindergarten market locked down, MS and Sony can't outcompete them in that market.

>>2 Yeah the same market both Sony and Micro$oft need and want.
The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that MS knows that every chipset up to and including falcon had/have significant fail rates. I believe the first falcon chipsets were in the halo 3 edition consoles and they're coming up on the end of the 3 year red-ring warranty.
This means either a $99 repair (with no guarantee it wont fail again) and several weeks of waiting, or buying a brand new 250 gig wireless n console for $300 (yes I know there are cheaper models). Assuming that many kinects were given as x-mass presents new games were purchased as well. So are you going to let new games collect dust waiting for a repair or sell the dead xbox and buy a new one?
This may be an attempt to flush out all the older unreliable models in an attempt to save money on repair costs while boosting current sales. Like I said just my own paranoid conspiracy theory… although I believe it’s quite possible especially from a corporate point of view.
