Kinect has undoubtedly been selling like super hot hotcakes ever since it launched last month. But do you know how fast of a seller it is? Apparently, it's done so well that not even the Apple iPad can keep up. According to Microsoft, they already have moved some 2.5 million units of Kinect, a mere 25 days after it came out on the market. To compare just how fast that was, they gave the example of the iPad saying that Apple's latest device didn't even get to that number until at least two months.
If we're going to do the math, 2.5 million units in 25 days would mean that there have been an average of some 100,000 Kinects being sold every day. If the iPad sold two million in 60 days, and then three million within 80 days, that would mean that the iPad sells 50,000 a day. That's just half of what the Kinect is pulling in.
That's some really impressive numbers, and the comparison really does help things be put in a clearer perspective. There's no question about it, Kinect will go down in this year's gaming history as one of the more memorable items to launch. Now what's left for us to find out is for how long will they be able to sustain it.
