Microsoft and the NPD are reporting that the Xbox 360 saw a 20% sales increase in October from the same month last year.  People are still going green so to speak.  Is it really the most attractive console on the market?  Or is this a Kinect driven gaming landscape now?

“Purely from an advertising, marketing and communications point of view, you’re going to see Kinect comericials all over the place,” Microsoft Product Manager David Dennis said. “And those aren’t just going to be your Kinect Sports and Dance Central commercials, but they’re going to be commercials that educate people about how you can use your voice to control your entertainment. And show the diversity of all the content partners, and live entertainment partners coming.”

October was a good month for the ever-changing console with a total of 393,000 sold.  What’s your take on why the console continues to sell strong?
