More than 1 million Kinect units sold since Nov. 4. On track to hit 5 mln sales target by year end. Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) said on Monday it has sold more than 1 million of its new hands-free Kinect gaming systems in the first 10 days since launch, putting it on track to beat its target of 5 million sales by the end of the year.
The world's largest software company is hoping the Kinect will help revitalize sales of its Xbox game console this holiday shopping season and counter competing motion-based gaming systems from Nintendo Co (7974.OS), which makes the Wii, and Sony Corp (6758.T), which introduced its Move product two months ago.
