The Daily Stat
Microsoft’s (MSFT) Kinect motion-sensitive game controller for Xbox 360
went on sale on November 7. The company has already shipped 8 million
units. That’s sell in to retailers, not sell through to consumers, but it’s
still a pretty impressive number; retailers aren’t going to buy a bunch of
these things to let them sit on their shelves. By way of comparison,
Amazon’s (AMZN) Kindle might reach 8 million this year after more than two
years on the market, and Apple’s (AAPL) iPhone didn’t break 8 million until
the 3G version was launched more than a year after the original. (Business
