Microsoft has announced that the Kinect has sold a staggering 10 million units worldwide. Due to such groundbreaking numbers, Guinness has awarded it with a new world record: "Fastest Selling Consumer Entertainment Device." This record will be available on the 2011 Gamers’ Edition of the book.
Gaz Deaves, the Gaming Editor for Guinness World Records, states:

The sales figures here speak for themselves. According to independent research, no other consumer electronics device sold faster within a 60-day time span, which is an incredible achievement considering the strength of the sector.
The World Record is in accordance with the first 60 days that the Kinect was in the market, as it sold a stunning eight million units. However, games relating to the Kinect weren't as great. Numbers show that an average of one game per each Kinect were sold.
To further the Kinect, Microsoft noted that in the near future, new Kinect features will be added to both Netflix and Hulu Plus. Those two applications will support the device, giving users the ability to interact with the services without a controller or a remote. Both of the said services are likely to be available during Spring.

Xbox 360's kinect as of March 10th 2011 has sold 4.6 million kinect devices and 8.3 million with the consoles....
microsoft is now releasing the Xbox 360 ONLY with kinect. you can only get a Xbox 360 without kinect if it's used or has not yet been sold from a while ago. why is microsoft selling ONLY WITH KINECT? for money issues. and when i say "issues" i mean greed. they raised it from $199.99 back to $299.99 because they are making a lot more money this way, most of the people buying them dont even want the kinect! not to mention the 250GB hard drive is actually 233GB when it's fully loaded onto your system.

I would be interested to see the PS Move and Kinect comparison. The moves games are better IMO but I did like Dance Central....it was pretty impressive!
