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.
