i do think it's because of kinect... and i think they mention windows phone just as a way to keep on giving it "good" advertisement because reality is that it's not being adopted like they'd like...

That I think is the real potential for this tech (and Primesense, the company behind it has been selling the tech for just that sort of application).
Facial recognition, voice command and gesture control (with 3D sensing), very cool.
That and a really cool international video comms system for Xbox.
Still a bit pricey for me to worry about right now tho seeing as I'm not that bothered about the 1st wave of games but once it comes down by about 1/3rd off I'll go buying.

Anyone see a total Xbox 360 sold number in this presentation?
I expect Kinect (on top of the 250gb Slim & 4gb Arcade Slims launched last year) has given their total number a real kick upwards.

What I was talking about was this:

Mm. If it did sell 8 million alone (which I highly doubt) then I underestimated it. I expected Kinect to die off pretty quick.
I play Kinect a while ago and I'll be honest, it was the most fun on a console that I've had in months. Kinect has better potential though and it's up to Microsoft to use it well.
