Today Microsoft announced that their hardware add on, Kinect, sold over 10 Million units worldwide to date and over 10 Million games.
The Xbox Kinect motion sensor also broke a Guinness World Record as the ‘fastest selling consumer electronics device’. Kinect sold ‘an average of 133,333 units per day for a total of eight million units in its first 60 days between November 4, 2010 and January 3, 2011’.
“The sales figures here speak for themselves,” said Gaz Deaves, Gaming Editor for Guinness World Records. “According to independent research, no other consumer electronics device sold faster within a 60-day time span, which is an incredible achievement considering the strength of the sector.”
That’s a lot of units and Microsoft should be proud to hit such a high mark.
