Shipped but HUGE.


No, sold to consumers.

And that means the vgchartz numbers are WAY OFF.


As far as I know, any unit numbers announced by Sony or Microsoft is shipped. I think that was established a long time ago by sites like Gamespot and IGN. Eventually 8 million will be sold easily before Spring. So saying shipped or sold won't make a lot of difference at this point. Kinect was soldout all through the holidays, but Microsoft kept up on the shipping of the units every week, so I have to give them Kudos for that. It's safe to say at least 6.5-7 million has definitely been SOLD to consumers.  Very impressive. Do I see an adjustment in Xbox 360/Kinect sales coming in the near future?

Ok you must be going through the forum because definitely shipped according to IGN. Kinets previous amounts by MS were to consumers, but now they are shipped.

I think I said shipped like twice already. I've never known M$ to announce sold to consumers. They would need to get figures from every retailer worldwide to make an accurate announcement for that. In any case, the demand for Kinect has been high throughout the holidays and after the holidays, so with even 8 million shipped there can't be much more then 1-1.5 million still on retail shelves worldwide and that's actually being generous. We can wait for Microsoft's official announcement, but I'm sure they are well over 6 million sold to consumers.

My maths with 360 HW...

Last shipment figure:  44.5 million (30th September)
Best Oct-Dec figure: 6 million (2008)

360 shipped over 6 million this quarter to beat the 2008 quarter.

44.5 plus 6 = 50.5

So Microsoft shipped over 50.5 million at 31th December... but like they not said "over 51 million" or "more than 51 million" I conclude the official number to be released on 2/3 weeks are between:

50.6m - 50.9m

VGC had 360 at 50,070,891 wainting one more week to end the quarter... I expect 360 doing 500-600k this week... so final VGC number will be arround 50.5 million.

300k on shelves???


I dont know why some of you guys dont get what milestones are. They wouldnt announce it at 51, they passed 50 million, people were bitching they didnt announce it and when they do people bitch. People need to stop bitching or just be happy

Ok. Check the financial reports in the next weeks... I'm not bitching anything.

Yeah, they said they won't be providing sold-through numbers anymore.


much larger numbers to get hold of now, will start to have inaccurate measurements, makes sense why they would stop. Just goes to show how incredible certain tracking companies/sites/whateverelsethereis 

Probably also because retail partners were OK with MS contacting them to get idea of sales for a short period, but dont want to do that every month.  Also during the launch period it was easy to see that they sold out as soon as they arrived in stores so it was easy to estimate sold-through now into the new year with inventory at stores will be harder unless you pester your partners. Might as well wait for monthly NPD reports.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.

My guess of 2.2m by the end of the year was waaaay out then.

Didn't some guy recently say it would sell 7.6m by the end of 2011? Must have been Pachters long lost brother or something!



red_dragon on 06 January 2011

Bloomberg says that 8 million shipped to retail is already mostly sold to the consumers already.
