Microsoft's Xbox 360 add-on Kinect is the fastest-selling consumer electronics device ever – we know because Guinness World Records says so.

The controller-free motion-sensing device sold an incredible 10 million units between its 4th November 2010 launch and 3rd January – that's an average of 133,333 units per day.

But which products did Kinect beat to top spot on the fastest-selling list?

Here are the Guinness-endorsed top four best-selling consumer electronics devices ever by units sold per day:

• Kinect: 133,000 (released 4th November, 2010)
• iPhone 4: 120,000 (released 24th June, 2010)
• Wii: 85,000 (released 19th November, 2006)
• iPad: 50,000 (released 3rd April, 2010)

"When researching this record, we looked at a broad sample of comparable devices and narrowed it down to the five most likely competitors," Gaz Deaves, gaming editor for Guinness World Records, told Eurogamer.

"Of particular interest in the list is the iPhone 4, which narrowly missed out on the record in spite of the fact that it costs at least four times as much as Kinect."

The original iPhone managed around 17,000 sales per day during its launch period. Also missing out are the Nintendo DS, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

Pretty big numbers. Would be good if they released a top 10.

haha of the top 4. 3 of them were released last year. Recession you say?

While Kinect's numbers are impressive, and impacting Xbox 360 sales, you got to hand it to Apple. Their overpriced items have sold close to Kinect numbers. Imagine the sales numbers if Apple's products were at a mass market price. They'd be through the roof!

Wait what?

and with less features... then maybe not through the roof see ipod nanos... 

hmm... maybe we werent told the actual sold figures at Jan or it was a mis print... either way it will be interesting to find the answer

Now that is most impressive!

iPhone 4 on its current form could easily be sold for half the price.

I disagree. The Iphone 4 is a mini tablet that can ring people, yes its over priced but a lot of the money goes into the apples warranty which almost seems to be an instant exchange even in aus
