Rullo di tamburi; l'altro giorno Microsoft nel suo keynote al CES di las vegas ha annunciato che è questo l'impressionante numere di Kinect venduti nel mondo in soli 2 mesi (che sbriciola la più ottimistica delle previsioni diffusa dalla stessa Microsoft, e che vedeva in 5 milioni di unità piazzate entro i primi 60 giorni di commercializzazione un traguardo già onorevole)..
LAS VEGAS – Jan. 6, 2011 – The sales figures released at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show made it official: Kinect has connected with consumers.
Over the past two months consumers have snatched up Kinect almost as quickly as retailers have stocked the shelves, according to sales figures Microsoft reported Wednesday at 2011 CES. Since its release on Nov. 4, more than eight million Kinect sensors have been sold. That figure easily outdistances the five million unit forecast the company had predicted to sell during the sensor’s first 60 days.
Kinect for Xbox 360 was a big hit with consumers over the 2010 holiday season, with eight million sensors sold over a 60-day period.
The wild ride to close out 2010 capped the “biggest year ever” for Xbox, said David Dennis, group public relations manager for Xbox. Over the holiday season, console sales for the Xbox 360 hit 50 million. It also was the No. 1-selling console in North America over the past six months. Meanwhile, the Xbox LIVE community continued to grow strongly overall in 2010, adding a new member every two seconds. Xbox LIVE now has more than 30 million active members.
SIAMO TROPPO DEI FIGHISSIMI!
E a chi se la lollava al pensiero delle vendite del Kinect, noi rispondiamo così:
