The Microsoft chief financial officer Peter Klein has revealed in a recent conference for shareholders who, thanks to sales of 8 million units in just 60 days, Kinect has become the consumer electronics sold in the world more quickly, successfully place in such a short time when most units have done so far from any phone, computer, TV or console.

This declaration is in support of the results of last fiscal quarter of Redmond, which has seen - thanks to Kinect - a revenue growth of 55% over last year in the Entertainment & Devices: The combined business of the Xbox 360 and Windows Phone 7 saw the beauty of the company to earn $ 3.7 billion, up from 2.4 billion last quarter of 2009. During the same period, Microsoft sold 6.3 million Xbox 360.

We'll just see if now that the incredible success of the new motion sensor is only due to novelty effect, and then quickly deflates, or whether word of mouth among consumers and many of the video players that have sprung up on YouTube Kinect had an " viral effect "that will hold sales at sustainable levels.
