Microsoft Believes Kinect Could “Blow Away” iPad Sales
Microsoft certainly have high hopes for Kinect, despite many negative reviews from “fans” who believe it will be the worst thing around, and if you read the comments on our N4G article, you may realise that. There are, of course, those who believe it will do well, thinking it could possibly be our future in gaming.
But Microsoft disagree with the haters.
Kudo Tsunoda, from Microsoft, said “”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. 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.”
Aaron Greenberg also agreed, saying “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.”
The iPad sold three million in just 80 days and was released in the spring.
Kinect will be released worldwide starting from November.
