Microsoft Game Studios manager Kudo Tsunoda set up an unofficial battle between Apple and Microsoft with an statement today that Kinect will beat the iPad for sales. Following good pre-orders, Tsunoda said to Gamasutra that the Xbox 360 motion controller’s holiday sales would “blow away” those of the iPad. He cited NPD data that the Xbox was already outselling the PS3 and Wii as evidence that Kinect is likely to surge when it becomes available on November 4.
Why say this? Neither device directly competes with the other. While we know MS wants the Kinect to become the Halo of Christmas, Xbox doesn’t do tablets. We here at ToT are sure there are PS titles and hardware that he could set up battles with. Plus those woule be more interesting to watch for the gamer.
