Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor Sells Over 2.5 Million

If we didn’t know better, we would have to say that motion is pretty popular in next generation consoles. When people stated that the Kinect senosr would not sell, Microsoft told them to shut up. Just a few days ago, the company released their sales information for the device. It looks like as of November 25, it was able to sell over 2.5 million copies, and that is worldwide for the matter.

So, our question to you is, did you pick up one?
