| Grimes said: Another problem with Move for retailers is there is so much sh*t that needs to be ordered. Unlike the Wii Motion Plus or Kinect which only have a couple SKUs, the Move requires multiple SKUs to be ordered on the part of the retailer. They have to not only order the kits, but also controllers, sub-controllers and bundles. Plus it's difficult to anticipate the demand for each of those SKUs. So I can see why they would be conservative in ordering. |
I would imagine a lot of retailers order the Move and sub-con like regular DS3 controllers, which means they'll probably be running in and out of stock during the initial run of Move until sales normalize.
It's really no different from ordering Wii controller/Nunchuck/Motion Plus SKUs.
PSEye orders were probably left the same, with Move Starter Packs likely being ordered similarly to standalone games without peripherals needed to play.
It'll be interesting to see how the Move/320GB bundles sell although it seems unlikely that retailers ordered them in numbers any higher than the regular 160/320GB SKUs.
