According to Peter Klein, the Microsoft chief financial officer, this development has taken place within two months of the launch of the sensor in the market. The product formed part of their range of gaming solutions for the holiday season. The company also declared that its share value of $0.77 and $19.95 billion earnings have shown a sharp rise following their success in the entertainment and gaming segment of almost 55%. Company officials say this phenomenal growth has been possible because of the Kinect sensor.
