Kinect Is Fastest Selling Product

Microsoft's Kinect for Xbox 360 was always going to be popular, but since its release last November the unit has sold over 10 million copies, making it the fastest selling consumer electronics product in a sixty day timespan ever. The sensor retailed for a quite substantial £130, but critics and 360 fans alike (myself included) were stunned by the quality of the camera and its software. Kinect came bundled with launch title Kinect Adventures, too, and while compared to Sports and Joy Ride it was nothing special, this means ten million families have had a chance to try it out and test the hardware. Keep an eye this year for more great releases making use of the unit like Star Wars: Detours, Gears of War: Exile, Child of Eden, Forza Motorsport 4 and Steel Battalion!
