Shortly after Kinect launched on November 4th, Microsoft revealed that it was selling about 100,000 units per day, and expected to sell 5 million by the end of the year. In fact, Microsoft shipped 8 million of them to retailers. At $149 a pop, that means Kinect contributed about $1.2 billion in revenue in less than a single quarter. And because each Kinect costs only about $59 to make (according to tear down estimates), that suggests it's a profitable business as well.
