Kinect 2.0 Detailed

Much of the excitement surrounding the new Xbox can be directly attributed to the next-gen Kinect sensor.

First week sales results are in with Kinect taking 5 of the Top 10 Xbox 360 sales chart. It looks like RARE might finally have a hit on their hands with Kinect Sports followed closely by Dance Central from Harmonix.

1. Call of Duty: Black Ops (Activision Blizzard)
2. Kinect Sports (Microsoft)
3. FIFA 11 (EA Sports)
4. Dance Central (Microsoft)
5. Motion Sports (Ubisoft)
6. Fable 3 (Microsoft)
7. Fallout: New Vegas (Bethesda)
8. Halo: Reach (Microsoft)
9. Fighters Uncaged (Ubisoft)
10. Kinectimals (Microsoft)
Even in the All Formats chart Kinect Sports does really well. It debuts at Number 4. With Dance Central at Number 13 and Motion Sports at Number 15.
