The iPad broke the one million mark on its 28th day of sale, and shattered 3 million after just three months. With Tsunoda’s claims, it seems that Kinect will even surpass the launch sales of even their own Xbox and Xbox 360. We’ll see.

Posted by John Kilhefner Categories: Corporate News, Handhelds,
While the tablet industry hasn’t exactly skyrocketed yet, Best Buy is gearing for change this holiday season.
