We think it might be too early to call, but the Xbox Kinect appears to be a hit.(insert sarcastic tone here) It was recently reported that they have sold 2.5 million Kinect devices in a month. This is good news for Microsoft for sure and with holiday shopping season just getting kicked off, can Microsoft make a push for 5 million by the end of the year? On average they sell 100,00o units a day so it is a real possibility that they can hit the target of 5 million that they set for themselves this holiday season.
For one thing, we think the Kinect is one of the hottest gaming devices to hit the shelves since the Nintendo Wii in 2006. And while it will have competition from the Playstation Move, simply the fact that more households have the Xbox over Playstation surely gives Microsoft an edge on Sony in the motion gaming war.
