Xbox Division, Kinect sells millions more

Microsoft's Xbox Division's sales have gone up by 60% and Kinect has sold millions more. Kinect is the awesome new way to control video games - it allows for the player to not have to use a controller at all and the player can just stand there and move about and talk to control the Xbox (or whatever platform someone decides to program Kinect to work for!).

Anyway, this has allowed this one division to make a net profit of almost $2,000,000,000 - that is, two-billion dollars.

Portal, Excluding Steam sales - sells 4,000,000 copies

This is what the room below looks like after many years

Portal, the game that was originally released in the Orange Box in 2007, has sold over four million copies at retail alone; this means, not including the high amounts of sales on the digital distribution program, Steam. There are probably millions more copies that were sold on Steam that were sold at retail.

Portal 2 was just released yesterday, and there's no doubt that the sales numbers on it are as high, if not higher than Portal. Portal 2 is an awesome game; I couldn't stop playing it when I played it yesterday. I went ahead and reviewed the first of the two campaigns included with Portal 2 - you can read it HERE.

Beginning of Portal 2 - Yet many years before actual gameplay

I hope that Portal gets another installment in the series within the next few years; Portal 2 was worth every bit of hype surrounding its release, unlike many other games released in the past few years. Dragon Age II was far lower quality than the hype surrounding it led everyone to believe; DA2 wasn't the worst game ever, but it definitely will not be in a group of games that people will remember, forever.
