Article (Microsoft's press release and some comments) are up. The figures are worldwide, as I said on the previous page once I saw their press release which is more clear than the Reuters article.

As an aside, I had said in another thread they'd announce it once they got to 1m shipped, I so called that. Also, its pretty clear if we were low Greenburg wouldn't have said anything because "beating expectations" looks good. The reason he said what he did was because "missing expectations" being lower than what we had, makes Kinect look like it is performing slower than expected. In raw figures the numbers are obviously very good either way, my concern is still that they're mostly selling to the base, and thus Kinect isn't pushing a whole lot of hw for how big it is. That may change soon, but it is somewhat telling that they didn't mention a spike in hardware sales or anything in the release.
