This put Kinect sales into perspective for me

VERY impressive, Kinect is fastest selling product in electronics history ... yet some people still try and make it sound negative xD I guess it means it's working if it has them fearful of it.

The iPhone 4 sold 1.5 Million on its first day ...

2.5 Million in 25 days durring the biggest shopping orgy in the year doesn't seem that impressive

I think he means new product

""The adoption rate of the iPad was celebrated as the fastest ever in electronics history. Now, less than a year after the tablet's launch, Microsoft has usurped that distinction with Kinect."

Doesn't really add up, either it is or that quote is a lie.

selling 2.5 million copies of a product which I think is expensive is very impressive, MS can't even keep it in stock. The only issue is it's selling mostly in America and has not really put the 360 ahead of the other consoles as most expected. This thing would have been crazy had it been below $100 buck.

Don't you mean WHEN it's below $100?

I personally don't own it, as there is not yet enough compelling software released or shown for me to justify the cost (and ... I'm broke), but I sure can't wait to see what all of those developers that were so excited about it are going to come up with.  Initial sales like this likely mean that Kinect development will pick up, so maybe some of those crazy ideas will see fruition and cause it to REALLY pick up right when the price IS lower.
