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).
