Microsoft has been throwing around Kinect advertisements everywhere people look lately, and with that in mind, it shoudl come as no surprise that MS has just come over all boastful and confirmed that it sold one million of the motion sensing cameras in just ten days. What’s more, Microsoft reckons it’s bang on track to meet its much-mooted target of five million by the end of 2010 (that’ll be an extra four million by Christmas, then).

On Kinect, Don Mattrick of MS said;

“This is a great start to the holiday season,” “We will continue to work with our retailer partners to keep pace with high demand and deliver against our plan to sell more than 5 million Kinect sensors worldwide by the end of this year.”

Sony has been said to be readying a range of brand new range of consumer devices in a so called attempt to take Apple on, according to reports within The Wall Street Journal.

The Japanese company, which is apparently working on a new smartphone capable of playing downloadable games like the iPhone does, and a multifunction device like the iPad, is aiming to make a splash where, recently, Microsoft showcased WM7 with XBox Live syndication – which without question could bring mobile gaming forward.

The Wallstreet Journal reported that “people familiar with the matter” said that Sony is working with Sony Ericsson on the new smartphone.

“While the capital structure of the 50-50 joint venture hasn’t changed, Sony is taking a more active role in developing handsets for the partnership because of how central smartphones are becoming to the company’s overall strategy,” said The Wall Street Journal.
