MS Claims 10 Million Units Sold Since October, Kinect Install Base Nearly Doubled


Submitted by OS_Gamer; January 10, 2012

Microsoft distributed some pretty wild stats at CES 2012.

In MS's keynote, Steve Ballmer said that the Xbox 360 has surpassed 66 million units sold, which means that since October 10 million units have sold. Wow.

The Kinect, perhaps surprisingly, has also managed to keep performing. It has sold 18 million units, which means that it has almost doubled its install base from last year.

Microsoft also said that Xbox Live is creeping up on 40 million users, which gives you an attach rate of nearly 60%.

These numbers are pretty impressive if true, no?

There a little video here, and if you want to listen to the whole thing head over to Major Nelson.

Yes, that's pretty impressive because we're talking about huge amounts of sales on such short time spans. I read few things about that in a Lubbock classifieds articles, Microsoft really knows how to do business, not that this is any news.
