Major retailers are reporting that the Kinect is selling out across the country, suggesting Microsoft’s increased sales forecast of five million units may be reachable after all.
“We’ve seen a tremendous amount of excitement and demand for [Kinect] and saw lines at our midnight openings around the country,” Best Buy’s Chris Homeister told USA Today. “We are currently sold out online, but we continue to work with Microsoft to obtain product shipments now and throughout the holiday season.”
Target, Walmart, and Gamestop–among others–are all reporting similar shortages. Whether or not Microsoft will make enough to offset their ridiculous Times Square festivities is yet to be seen.
