1 Million Kinect Sensors Sold in 10 Days
AshMan says…
Since it’s launch 10 Days ago the Kinect Sensor for the Xbox 360, has sold 1 million of them just in time for the silly season.
The sales figures only cover what has been sold in America, and with other launches around the world to be happening in the next week it will be interesting to see how many Microsoft do sell in the lead up to Christmas. Microsoft has said it is confident that is will sell around 5 million by the end of the year, which as a goal looks achievable with customers excited about being able to ditch the controller completely.
Kinect launches in Australia on November 18 at all major retailers with a RRP of $199 bundled with Kinect Adventures.

AshMan says…
Halo has been one of those defining video games for the Xbox 360. Since the original launch in 2005 Halo has taken gamers on a journey with Master Chief to save the world from the Covenant. The success of the game and its great universe has spawned novels which one their own have been very successful.
The latest and final release from Bungie is Halo: Reach, which actually covers the events from the novel Halo: The Fall of Reach. However you follow the perspective of a Spartan team who is on the ground on Reach.
The game looks fantastic and following in tradition of Halo 2 and Halo 3 a limited edition of the Xbox 360 is being released to celebrate the game. The console is a special silver version feature the same internals as the newly redesigned console. It also is bundled with two matching silver controllers and a copy of the Halo: Reach Standard Edition.
