From 2011. At any rate, it obviously satisfies the grandparent’s comment on success. (Also, you may be thinking of the Xbox One, which they received flak for bundling with a Kinect)

Microsoft knew add-ons simply do not work long-term. That's why they put a Kinect in every Xbox One's box. Didn't solve the problem of everybody was over with the concept though.
I may well be thinking of the Xbox One!

Certainly 10m standalone units warrants the ‘success’ tag, I’d imagine — thanks for the link.
