It's no surprise that the Kinect from Microsoft has done well with sales. However, with a new breed of casual gamers being brought out of the woodworks to experience the all new completely hands-free gaming experience, Xbox 360 sales have actually doubled since the launch of the Kinect. No doubt the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops has probably helped contribute to the increase as well as 55% of the games 2 million UK sales are on the Xbox console. Microsoft has the expectation to sell five million Kinect consoles this Christmas which should also add to the sale of more 360's.
"We are appreciative of the response we have seen from consumers that has culminated in sales of more than one million units in the first 10 days on the market for Kinect for Xbox 360," said Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. "This is a great start to the holiday season, and we will continue to work with our retailer partners to keep pace with high demand and deliver against our plan to sell more than five million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year."
