Microsoft has clarified to me that the 8 million KInect number is sell in, or how many were shipped to retailers. Not sell thru.
Forecast for Kinect was 5 mln units sold thru to customers. Microsoft says it `far surpassed' the 5 mln sell thru forecast but no exact #
Going forward, Microsoft says it will return to reporting sell in numbers for Kinect, which is what it has always done for consoles.
So they won't be reporting sell-through anymore?
