Fruit Ninja Kinect reaches 1m downloads

The Kinect version of Halfbrick’s popular game Fruit Ninja has been downloaded 1 million times via Xbox Live Arcade.

The figure comes less than a year after the game’s XBLA launch in August 2011.

"Hitting 1 million downloads for XBLA is an awesome achievement," said Phil Larsen, chief marketing officer at Halfbrick. "It’s a milestone that proves how with the right team and vision, a mobile game can be expanded into a much bigger franchise across new platforms and markets and be wildly successful."
