Er, Motion Plus launched like a month before WSR iirc.  Except in Japan.

WSR is still the greatest killer app any peripheral like that can have, Move doesn't have anything that can make a straight forward comparison fair imo.

And again, Motion Plus didn't have WSR when it launched... it had EA and Sega games.  So what's the problem?

Everyone knew WSR was coming, it's still a killer app. It's the game Nintendo had used to showcase the WMP with too.

But Sports Champions is practically the same thing, just less polished and with an uglier artstyle.  Comparing launch lineups, I'd say Move might actually have the edge overall.

And WSR came with a MP unit.  Why would people even buy Motion Plus ahead of time then?

Sports Champions is a new IP, WSR is the sequel to the best selling game of all time, not exactly "the same thing". I don't know how it all comes together, but I refuse to believe that it was carried entirely by two tennis titles for a month until WSR came out.

Two tennis games and a golf game.  I think a hockey game came out before WSR too.

And again, WSR doesn't even factor when MP launched, no one could buy it and if they were planning to buy it ever, they didn't need to buy MP at launch since it was known to be bundled with all copies of WSR.  Sure, people buy platforms based on the promise of future releases (hell, that's basically how PS3 sold itself year 1), but Move has attractive games in the pipe too (LBP2, KZ3, SOCOM4, etc).  And honestly, I've no clue how MP started out sales wise, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if Move actually did more...
