2.5 Million Kinects Sold (So Far)

A mighty impressive2.5 million Kinectshave been sold so far. An even mightier impressive4.1 Sony Moveshave been sold, but that’s been available since September. Translation? People, for whatever reason, are still enthralled with motion control. And here I thought people got their rocks off with Wii Bowling a few years back, but apparently not.

At the current rate, Microsoft would sell some 5 million Kinects this quarter alone.

Target saidthe Kinectwill be must-buy gift this holiday season.

Clearly Kinect (andthe Move, to a smaller extent) is a hot seller, but will it end up likeCall of Duty: Black Ops? A giant first few weeks (days in CODBLOPS’ case), then a trailing off?

I’ve no horse in this race, but best of luck to everyone. Just as I could never watch Dancing With The Stars and deriveentertainmentout of it, I’m not too keen on this motion stuff.

Different strokes, etc.
