Kinect sells 2.5 million in first 25 days

Kinect’s reached its first sales milestone. Microsoft’s announced that the hands-free motion controller has sold over 2.5 million units in its first 25 days. Last week’s day-after-Thanksgiving sale helped a great deal in reaching this achievement, according to Major Nelson.

“We are thrilled about the consumer response to Kinect, and are working hard with our retail and manufacturing partners to expedite production and shipments of Kinect to restock shelves as fast as possible to keep up with demand,” said Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft. “With sales already exceeding two and a half million units in just 25 days, we are on pace to reach our forecast of 5 million units sold to consumers this holiday.”

Christmas is in t-minus 25 days. Hanukkah begins tomorrow. Think Kinect will top the 5 million unit forecast?
