Steve Ballmer has been at the CES 2011, and in his conference call, for which increasingly expected least, has revealed some interesting data as related to the success it has had until now the launch of motion control system Kinect.
And imagined that the product Microsoft had a good shot, at least in the United States and Europe (in Japan leaving barely noticed), but now Ballmer confirmed with actual figures.
Ballmer at least saves the traps of this type of figures and makes clear that the 8 million units of Kinect are distributed and not sold. That is, these 8 million, more than one unit could be on store shelves. The exact amount is unknown Kinects sold so far, although some representatives of Microsoft to say "sell all Kinect we make."
In addition, Microsoft also announced in the CES 2011 the console Xbox 360 has exceeded 50 million consoles sold (yes this time they are sold). Predictions are that by 2011 Kinect further increase its presence in the market.
