14 DAY TRIAL // Two big games made especially for the Kinect, Dance Central and Kinect Sports, have both sold over 1 million copies, according to Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg.
The past few months have been extremely good for Microsoft's new Kinect peripheral, as the company sold over 8 million devices since it was released for back in November for the Xbox 360 console.
The device wasn't the only successful thing, as quite a lot of games made for it, including Kinect Sports, released by Microsoft itself, or Dance Central, developed by Harmonix and published by MTV Games, have also sold a lot of copies since the release of the Kinect.
According to a Twitter post from Microsoft's Chief of Staff for Interactive Entertainment Business, Aaron Greenberg, both the Dance Central dancing title and the Kinect Sports one have sold over 1 million copies each, in the U.S.
While neither of those games broke the top 10 in software sales for the month of December, as posted by the NPD group, this fact is further testimony that the Kinect is going to become a viable platform for games in the future, as its install base gets expanded even more.
Ubisoft also boasted its Kinect performance, saying that it is the number one third-party developer on the motion detection device, releasing Your Shape: Fitness Evolved and Fighters Uncaged for the peripheral.
Microsoft is set to offer more and more new experiences centered around the Kinect, promising that this year will have lots of surprises for owners of the device.
We've already seen the introduction of the Avatar Kinect service, which takes the Xbox Live Party mode to a new level.
Microsoft also promised that more hardcore games would be released for the Kinect, so existing Xbox 360 owners would have more reasons to pick up the motion detection peripheral in the future.
