Microsoft says it has sold 1 million Xbox Kinects in 10 days, giving the company a badly needed hit in the consumer electronics market as the holiday shopping season approaches.
The company reported Monday that it was on track to sell 5 million units of the hands-free, motion-sensing controller by the end of the year. Microsoft this month raised its original sales forecast of 3 million units to 5 million.
Microsoft launched the Kinect Nov. 4 in North America, and six days later in Europe. The company plans to release the device in Asia Nov. 18 and in Japan Nov. 20. By the end of the holiday shopping season, the Kinect will be available through 60,000 retailers in 38 countries, with up to 17 Kinect games also available, according to the company.
