• Kinect sells 1m units in 10 days

  16 Nov 2010:

  Microsoft's Kinect motion control accessory for the Xbox 360 has shifted 1 million units in 10 days on sale. Not bad going considering the relatively high price and proof that motion control is here to stay. Microsoft have said they plan to sell 5 million units before the end of the year. Just imagine how many more they could sell if - say - one of the fitness games was replaced by the Star Wars lightsaber game. Games for more hardcore gamers - like the Star Wars title - will start trickling through in 2011. For now though the Kinect is aimed firmly at the mass market.
