Forums - Sales Discussion - 8 Million Kinect sold world wide

Ballmer just announced. Didnt say shipped or sold.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

I'm gonna guess shipped but that's huge! We had it on 4 million here? Looks like it's completely blown away expectations!



I believe on the board thingy it said 8 million sold



said "8 million Kinects sold in 60 days (Nov 3rd - 1st Jan)"

I think when any of the big 3 say "sold", it's to retailers rather than consumers. Either way it's massive.

I think its sold and not shipped. He said he predicted 5 million, that was supposed to be 5 million sold to people, but that has been exceeded to 8 million now.



Probably shipped, but still damned impressive. Kinect might give the balance board a run for its money as the top peripheral of this generation.

So far, they've only EVER quoted "X.XX sold to consumer"

It's strange why they're not saying shipped, but so far they havn't.



 

Microsoft doesn't publish sold numbers as shipped numbers. If they say "sold" they mean "sold to consumers".

Very impressive!

Thats 1 million kinects every week!

Shipped and sold have to be darn close with how difficult it was to find Kinect's.
