De Kinect Motion Sensor is nog geen maand op de markt of is al 2.5 miljoen keer verkocht, dit trotse nieuws heeft Microsoft gisteren in dit persbericht naar buiten gebracht. Verder heeft Don Mattrick gezegd dat ze verwachten dat voor de eind december zelfs de vijf miljoen gehaald kan worden. Hoe dan ook de Kinect is nu al een groot succes te noemen.

Microsoft Corp. today announced that strong demand over the Black Friday weekend has propelled retail sales of Kinect for Xbox 360 to more than 2.5 million units worldwide since it launched just 25 days ago.

"We are thrilled about the consumer response to Kinect, and are working hard with our retail and manufacturing partners to expedite production and shipments of Kinect to restock shelves as fast as possible to keep up with demand," said Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. "With sales already exceeding two and a half million units in just 25 days, we are on pace to reach our forecast of 5 million units sold to consumers this holiday."
