Yup, Kinect proved to be more of a system seller than Blu-Ray or Move. MS treated it as a separate hardware platform and launched it with terrific marketing, so they are reaping the rewards now. I wonder what will be the strategy for Sony in the US; lower price definitely helps, but they need some sort of a huge boost to increase sales. It sold well this month, but we don't know if it will do that consistently. Next month's NPD will be really interesting.

So streams have finally crossed as I figured would happen;

Thanks.

Pachter asserting that MS has a huge campaign for Kinect again is interesting. More so in that MS is will be pushing it more in terms of "XboxTV".

I am in the same position, though I've bought ODST even. I am currently planning on not buying Halo 4 unless media and news sways me otherwise. This has been the opposite case for every Halo release prior.

Yeah, I will pay attention to previews of the game but right now... I don't think it will sway me at all.

Congrats to the Dead Island team. They made themselves a great game that i think most people assumed was going to get lost in the holiday rush and instead have a hit on their hands. Very impressive numbers for a new IP!
