[X360] Kinect sells 10 million, sets record
Microsoft are pretty happy with themselves at the moment, deservedly so. It appears that their motion peripheral, Kinect, has set a new milestone. The device recently sprinted beyond 10 million sold as well as 10 million Kinect games sold as well.

The number is impressive due to the amount of time it took to achieve those figures, in fact it looks as though it has even set a new record. With the support of the Guinness World Records Microsoft is claiming that it is the fastest selling consumer electronics device ever.

The device sold an 133,333 units per day for a grand total of 8 million units in the first 60 days on shelves between November 4th 2010 and January 3rd 2011. Since then the numbers have slowed a little, but Microsoft is promising that there is more killer software for the peripheral on the way.
