Kinect made world record of fastest selling consumer electronics device ever

Kinect,not only as a motion control interface for the Xbox 360,also used as a 3D camera for music videos, maps and 3D printing, to various PC-based control interface and augmented reality applications,which was launch by Microsoft  in November, 2010 made world record of fastest selling consumer electronics device ever by selling 10 million units in a little over four months…Well enough to get itself a Guinness World Record.

To be very precise however, the metrics used refer to 10 million units sold (shipped to stores), and not 10 million units sold-through (undisclosed). While the numbers are apparently not too far apart, and the Guinness Book of World Records notes that on average, Microsoft has been selling about 133,333 Kinect units per day on average since November last year.
