A big part of this is the timing of the release; video game systems are always big sellers before the holidays. Anyways, the difference in price as well as function makes this a pointless comparison.

Plain old grocery store eggs outsold the iPad 20,000 to 1! Meaningless.

I think it is a fair comparison based on this statement:<p>"The iPad was crowned the fastest-adopted consumer electronic device ever last month, stealing the title from the once-coveted DVD player."

Irrelevant. They aren't even similar products, similarly priced, or in similar markets.

For something 30% the price of the very cheapest iPad, I'm not surprised.

Why should this be surprising, given most of the Kinect users are owners of X-box ? iPad on the other hand is a stand-alone device. Why does everyone keep comparing Kinect to iPad/iPhone etc ?

If Microsoft opens the drivers and people (hackers?) find many other ways to use it, it will sale even faster.
