Microsoft's (MSFT) Kinect Reaches 10 Million in Sales

Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced its Kinect has become the fastest-selling consumer device in history, racking up 10 million in sales in a little over four months.

Not only has the Kinect sold robustly, but stand-alone Kinect games have also reached over 10 million in sales, adding significantly to the bottom line of the company in the last quarter, with no real competitors challenging them at this time. Sony's (NYSE:SNE) rival product has done little against the device.

Kinect is an infrared motion-sensing game system which allows to use to interact without any handheld aid.

The Xbox game console add-on is normally priced at about $150, although can be purchased online for less than that.
