Kinect in Guinness Book of World Records

I’ve been saying it from the beginning, but doesn’t this just prove it?  Kinect is totally awesome.  It has officially been named the “Fastest-Selling Consumer Electronics Device” in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Here’s a quick look at why Microsoft’s Kinect claimed that title:

• After 25 days, 2.5 million units sold
• After 60 days, 8 million units sold (that’s 133,333 units per day)
• After 125 days, 10 million units sold.

Let’s compare that to the iPad:

• After 60 days, 2 million units
• After 80 days, 3 million units

So, Microsoft actually called it when they predicted Kinect would surpass the iPad. 

Those of you who regularly read my blog know that I really love my Kinect system; therefore, I’m glad for it’s success.  Though numbers don’t necessarily indicate a great product…well, you can just take my word on that, right?

Do you have Kinect?  Are you thinking of getting it?  Do the numbers or the new status as Fastest-Selling Consumer Electronics Device sway you?
