only one in eight 360s have it, it's just a gimmick and even 360 owners figured it out

The Wii U uses the Wii motes a lot more than the Wii U tablet controller.

Are you kidding me? Fine, then I'll put a piece of cardboard in front of it. No more spying on me now Microsoft! Hmph, it's not like I'd use it anyway.

those sales figures are from 2013.

kinect sold amazingly well, not doubt about that

was helped by microsoft's $500 million ad budget (@ launch) of course

"

The Kinect claimed the Guinness World Record of being the "fastest selling consumer electronics device" after selling a total of 8 million units in its first 60 days.[18][19][20] 24 million units of the Kinect sensor had been shipped as of January 2012.[1]

"

"shipped"

that doesn't mean sold.

and if ms want's to focus on core gamers, they need to know that many "core gamers" don't play games that prioritize kinect.

it's like trying to put positive sides on magnets together

they repel.

"as of January 2012"

so it has sold 24m+, pretty much confirmed unless kinects have been sitting on the shelves for over a year, which i really doubt...
