Kinect sells over 10 million, celebrates with a Guinness
According to a Microsoft press release, the Kinect for Xbox 360 has sold over 10 million units, and in its short 4 month history has also sold over 10 million standalone titles. It’s a pretty impressive feat, making it the Fastest-Selling Consumer Electronics Device according to Guinness (the Book of World Records, not the delicious stout).
Beyond the motion sensor and bundled game, over 10 million copies of standalone Kinect games were also sold, which means there’s roughly a 1:1 tie ratio. While it’s way too early to speculate as to whether they can get that Kinect tie ratio up, the numbers must look interesting to developers. Even if a studio manages to get a 10% sell through to Kinect users, that makes for a million seller.
