also:

Indeed, according to Mattrick, Kinect will easily eclipse the industry's three million unit threshold by the end of the year.

"Mattrick said Microsoft is pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into marketing and advertising campaigns for Kinect's launch," explained Juro Osawa of the WSJ.


"In the US alone, 30,000 retail locations will sell Kinect on the launch day and about 7,000 of those retailers will open at midnight."

holy cow!

 

30,000 retailers is quite a few. More than 3 million in less than 2 months is quite an achievement.
