Couple of points really.
The MCV article about 1/2 mill pre-orders in the UK (which was written 3/4 weeks ago?. Dont know if anyone actually read this article. But it sounded more like a "this is what we expect" rather than this is what we have. Because at that point of the article the Kinect had hardly been on pre-order, and the USA had at this point this week, 5 times less pre-orders. This Expectation article was quickly turned into a "1/2 million preorders in the uk for Kinect" articles by online websites.
America - Kinect is outselling pre-orders of Move. Yes it seems that way. But as the USA has a larger install base than the PS3.. if we were looking it at that point of view, then you would have to said that would be expected. We do not know about the rest of the world, which is just as important right? If they sell 100 in USA and only 1 rest of the world, while move sells 1 in USA, but 200 worldwide, who has won? I think this "Whos won" is a stupid argument really. Because as always people just go on about numbers. If we are going on about numbers, both PS3 and XBox has already lost to Nintendo, so lets not argue about numbers.
From my point of view the success will be triggered by a few things, number of new consoles sold, number of software sold. How long these things continue into 2011. I personally think that Move has more change to sell longer term, while i think Kinect will sell lots more on release, but may suffer from bad press shortly after release (just wait for youtube videos of it going wrong etc).
