so kinect adventures shows kinects numbers and sports champions reletivly show moves numbers. kinect looking pritty good number wise and move looking bad.



That about sums it up. However when it comes to Move anyone who already has the eyetoy, which isn't many I don't know exact figures, only needs to buy the controller which doesn't come with Sports Champions.

Well of course Kinect Adventures is going to be higher.  Every Kinect comes with one.  However, with Move it's much harder to track.  I mean just judging by games sold that require the PS Eye, Eye Pet (~500K) & Eye of Judgement (~300K) plus people who may have purchased the cam without these games, I would guess there were ~ 1 mil of them out there before the announcement of Move.  Of course, it could have been more or it could have been less.  I do know I'm one of them, and I'm not purchasing the bundle.

I also know that after the announcement of the PS Move, several of the Wal-marts and Gamestops around me put out the PS Eye on shelves at a discounted price (usually about $10 -$15 off).  This was most likely to clear out stock of the cam for the new Move bundles.  And I'm guessing it worked, cause most of them are no longer on the shelves.  Either way, these people are most likely not going to buy the Sports Champion Bundle.

You also have to include Eye Pet, as the NA version requires the PS Move.  Which, if I remember correctly, is also being bundled with it.

No, to get Move you need to have both a Move controller and a playstation eye which the vast majority of owners will get by buying the Move starter bundle, which includes the Sports Champion game (and are the vast majority of the sales listed in the Sports Champio  preorder bucket). The only other circumstance is if an inidivudal owns Sony Eye already and then can just buy the Move copntroller seperatly and whatever game they want. Even then, I'd think most owners are buying Sports Champion as their first move game. I don't see any other Move title on the list besides Eyepet so I think the numbe of poeple preordering Sports Champion is a pretty accurate proxy for the number of people who have preordered Move.

You can't just add the Eyepet to the number of new Move owners since the Eyepet is just a game. It doesn't include the Move controller nor does it include the eye videocamera tracking system. I think a great deal of those sales are just going to owneres of the current eyetoy who want a new game for it.

 

For people who aren't buying Move through the starter bundle, we'd have to track the sales of the Move and Eye toy peripherals seperately to count for those type of owners. I don't see presales of any other Move game in the top 50 list except for Sport Champions and Eye Pet.
