IGN AU is reporting that Microsoft confirmed the date to them at a Kinect preview event earlier today.
Microsoft has not yet officially announced the launch date, so we’re following up with them to confirm the IGN report.

Wednesday, September 1, 2010 at 5:21 PMI like the dancing game especially not having to hold controllers or having to have a dance mat to play it.
Intresting news in the USA the Pre orders for Kinect have reached 100,000 which is bundled with Kinect and with 10 weeks until release is a good indication that Kinect is going to sell well.
PS3 pre orders for Sports champions which also comes with the Move bundled camera and controller has only sold 24.000 with only just under 3 weeks until launch.
