The other day, I saidKinect appeals to nobody. I’ll be honest, I didn’t expect the glorified EyeToy to sell all that well. However, I underestimated exactly how hard Microsoft would try in order to push Kinect to the millions of idiots who infest the world. Now Microsoft has bought the lowest common denominator imaginable — Justin Bieber — and thus Kinect will sell billions.

Yep, the shameless cartoon-faced homunculus opened his world tour show with footage of himself basically advertising Kinect, much to the delight of the screaming harpies who constantly beg him tofollow them on Twitter. I dread to think how much Microsoft paid to get him to do it, but I can’t deny that the investment will likely pay off.
