Microsoft: Kinect will take down iPad
Says they will 'Blow Away' Apple's lifestyle tablet
The spokesman for Microsoft Kinect, Kudo Tsunoda, has said that he believes that Kinect will shift millions over the Christmas holiday season and has chosen Apple's iPad to compare sales with.
Speaking at the Tokyo Games Show, Tsunoda said that, "The preorders have been really strong. As far as what we're looking at for Holiday, this is going to be stuff that'll blow away any of the sales you've seen with iPad.
"The Xbox 360 is already selling better than the Wii and Sony right now. Kinect's really just going to boost that to a whole new level", he continued in bullish style.
Tsunoda also commented on future updates for the Kinect controller:
"Kinect, we think about it a lot the same way we think about Xbox Live. Xbox Live, when it first came out, was much different than it is today. And over time, new features get added, new experiences get added, and it just evolves as a platform. The same will be true with Kinect."

it will sell if the hardware works in the many different lounges of the world. but if it doesn't fit in small rooms, or is effected by people walking behind it then the bad experiences will spread bad press and hit sales.
