If you look at http://www.game.co.uk/ front page, who are the biggest gaming store in UK (probably europe too) they have so much stuff on there about Kinect. Huge pictures for everything 360. Then at the bottom there is this tiny picture for Move.
So while Amazon can't be used as a tester for how each will do i think Game can be. Because they are obviously pushing Kinect harder then they are Move. Which obviously means they have more faith in it to make them money.Which is what it is all about.
The haters can hate and try and have a go but what the op say's is basically correct. All sources lead to there being more pre-orders for Kinect. Even on this website the two games that come with each platform have Kinect Sports ahead of Champions in pre-orders.
I am starting to think Move is going to bomb hard. The media are hyping Kinect a lot. There are news stories even on the main news here, have not seen a thing for move. Sony need to start generating awareness for it bigtime.

360 is huge in the UK, here in Norway you'll find that the 360 gets less shelfspace, media coverage and general love than the PS3 for instance, the Wii is not getting a whole lot of attention either. So this varies. As it stands, the 360 is huge in in NA and UK but only decent in most of the world and very, very poor in Japan whereas the Wii is pretty much big everywhere and the PS3 is decent in NA and pretty big in the rest of the world. Like I said; the UK is not representative for all of Europe, there's a reason its being singled out as a market on its own, almost like an entire territory.

If you look at europe this year your see PS3 is only about 180k ahead of 360. Europe likes 360 just as much as PS3. If the 360 continues to sell at it's current rate in europe it will surpass PS3 sales there for the year in a few weeks.
The whole "only UK like 360" thing is false as just pointed out above.
However in europe obviously the biggest market is UK. Lot's of sales there. If Kinect sells well in US and UK that means it will be selling to 2 of the 3 top selling countries in the world. Move will obviously beat Kinect in Japan. But if current Japanese trends are anything to go by Move will need a lot more then Japans numbers to beat US and UK's Kinect numbers.
