Following Kinect stock warnings from leading online retailers GAME, Amazon and Play.com – leading to the closure of pre-order programs – Microsoft has said it will be doing its best to ensure the device is available to purchase this Christmas.
“We are excited about the launch of Kinect for Xbox 360 in the UK and are looking forward to transforming entertainment experiences in homes across the world,” a Microsoft spokesperson told VideoGamer.com. “Over the course of just three weeks in November, we’re launching across every market where Xbox 360 is sold and will have more units of Kinect available than any other Xbox launch”
The spokesperson added: “Pre-orders have demonstrated that there is exceptional consumer excitement and demand for Kinect and we will continue to work hard to ensure that Kinect for Xbox 360 is available for the Christmas season.”
Kinect will launch in the UK on November 10, 2010.
Back in 2005 the Xbox 360 launched in the UK to the tune of a record-breaking 70,000 sales during its opening weekend. While Microsoft hasn’t specified the exact Kinect launch allocation for the UK market, its comment on the size of the launch does indicate the figure is higher than 70,000 units.
