Kinect Sales Pass One Million

Microsoft has announced that Kinect sales have exceeded the one million mark, which has taken ten days to achieve.

Interactive entertainment business boss, Don Mattrick, had the following to say:

“We are appreciative of the response we have seen from consumers that has culminated in sales of more than 1 million units in the first 10 days on the market for Kinect for Xbox 360.

This is a great start to the holiday season, and we will continue to work with our retailer partners to keep pace with high demand and deliver against our plan to sell more than 5 million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year.”

Critical reception for Kinect’s launch games have been mostly positive, although the phrase ‘simplified’ appears quite often.  Even so, there’s no denying that with a group of friends or family, it’s a lot of fun.

  1. Quite impressive really but on the other hand if you spent $500M advertising a ‘microwave oven’ Im sure you’d sell a few Million
