Uh… Using coma instead of dot in floating number sounds horribly french and corrupted PLY… :P

We need that PLY file, in any case!

Bah… Stupid MS, they probably use locale data to write their floats, which ends to commas-separated floats, which is not and will never be and has never been a legal way to represent numbers computer-wise!

It would be easy to support this corrupted kind of ply files, but honestly, I’d rather not. This is a MS kinect stuff bug, not Blender’s, and I’m pretty sure you won’t find much programs reading that kind of file.

Note that as workaround, you can simply make a search & replace from , to . on the file (it’s an ASCII text one), should work then.
