Aaron Greenberg: We haven't given any projections beyond this holiday, but this will be the largest launch we've ever had as a business. We'll definitely sell more sensors than the Wii sold when it launched or the Xbox 360 sold when it launched.

They also claimed it'll sell more than the iPad did when it launched.
Wow microsoft. Whatever.
The Wii sold because they did good advertising. And their price tag was low. Kinect is limited to those who already own a 360, or those who will buy one.
The price tag does not look good for microsoft.

And the first games out for Kinect are obviously... games made for Kinect for the sake of trying out the controls. Fail.
