Sales of Xbox 360 in the UK doubled last week off the back of the launch of Kinect, Eurogamer has learnt.
The spike was confirmed this afternoon by sales monitor Chart-Track, a spokesperson stating that, while specific figures could not be revealed, it was "more than a fair reflection" to say the figure was double that of the previous week.
A senior publishing source added: "360 doubled last week and it was already selling a lot. Wii and PS3 have been beaten by 360 consistently over the past few months.
Kinect went on sale last week both separately and as part of official hardware bundles, the latter likely to be responsible for the jump in numbers.
Microsoft revealed yesterday that over one million units of Kinect has sold worldwide in the ten days following its 4th November US launch.
