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.

outstanding!

So this means over 60k Units sold in Uk O.O

Expected, strongest market plus COD.

Once in a while, i would love to hear news besides UK and US  when it comes to the 360, how did it do in France, Germany, doesnt't shart track handle these places too?

close?  i expected huge win for 360 this week.

Wow, that is truly outstanding!!

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.

Nice, perhaps last week we have 360 undertracked or wii overtracked.

Could we see 400k WW for 360 this week? That would be ridiculous!!

Hopefully amazon have the 360 at 60% next week. If they do, I will be getting 1!!

not really, espacially when you have a new product coming out.
