Microsoft - Kinect will definitely sell more at launch than Wii did

GN Version 3.1

A portion of a Eurogamer interview with Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg…

Eurogamer: Don Mattress has been quoted as saying Kinect will sell three million this Christmas. What do you think it will sell this financial year?

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.

We feel safe we’ll do three million this holiday, which puts us in pretty high territory for even a consumer electronics product.

That’s all well and good, but they have to manage to keep sales up for 4 years running. Is that something Microsoft can pull off?
