Microsoft has announced today that strong Thanksgiving week demand has led to strong sales of the Kinect motion control system.
The software giant says sales have now hit 2.5 million worldwide since launch on November 4th.
Adds Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft:
"We are thrilled about the consumer response to Kinect, and are working hard with our retail and manufacturing partners to expedite production and shipments of Kinect to restock shelves as fast as possible to keep up with demand. With sales already exceeding two and a half million units in just 25 days, we are on pace to reach our forecast of 5 million units sold to consumers this holiday."
