Kinect Still Hard to Find in 2011

Microsoft has sold 8 million of the Kinect motion controller devices in just 60 days. Because of this huge demand for the device, shortages may perpetuate into 2011. Jose Pinero, a Senior Director of PR for Microsoft, spoke with Destructoid about the repercussions of the demand and what it means to the consumer. "There was so much demand that we had to pull some production from January and February, so I think we're going to be hard-pressed to be able to fulfill demand."

"A lot of retailers will be out of stock, or will have challenges making sure that their shelves are filled," Pinero continued. "I don't think we'll be able to fulfill the demand in January and February. It's a nice problem to have."

Links Between Kinect & Red Ring of Death?

Kinect might be the Xbox 360′s future but it appears an all too familar face from its past has been causing users trouble. According to numerous sources, users of the Xbox 360 have been suffering failures that are being linked to the revolutionary motion sensor peripheral.

One such claim comes from the BBC who report that users of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console have experienced instances of the infamous Red Ring of Death when attaching the Kinect peripheral. Console owners have been telling the BBC that these breakdowns are occuring in consoles that previously showcased no issue but that are reaching the end of their warranty period. One such user was 10-year old Adam Winnifrith, a young boy who told BBC Radio 4′s “You and Yours” about his sad Kinect experience.
