MS must have numbers for use in game, and they still keep adding support in mainstream games and rolling out XBLA and retail dedicated titles.

Even modest sales would see it recoup investment and thus start earning money.Mod74 wrote:I find it hard to believe they've done 18m units on the back of marketing alone.

They didn't get it wrong, they went with a dramatic headline in the form of a question. The actual article was about both the pros and cons IIRC, and certainly didn't conclude that, yes, Kinect was clearly destined to be another 32X. It's rather tiresome and cheap journalism to put such an attention grabbing headline on the cover, but it's a common enough tactic (which seems to work judging by the discussion it can still create), and not to be confused with a prediction.regmcfly wrote:I'm with Mod, it's okay to say 'they got it wrong' because they absolutely did with Kinect. We might find it useless, or maybe if we're Elm, we can use it to say things into, but it does not have the same connotations / stigma attached to it that the 32X does.
