Disappointing sales. It seems you guys are sugar-coating this with "it's day one sales" and "it will have legs". But still, 140,000k is very low for something that had so much hype behind it.

Umm...hype?! Weak advertising. Weak launch software...and you're mentioning hype? Honestly, I don't know what to say.

OT: Not impressive and not disappointing. Can it sustain such sales? That is the question, and it can once some bigger titles/more ambitious projects come into play.

Just more sugercoating. It had a decent advertising campaign and certainly had a lot of hype behind it.They even had midnight openings at gamestop. Here's a picture from one of those events:

Hilarious! This is for something that was suppose to be like a new hardware cycle.

Let's get real here. The low sales are not due to "day one sales" or "bad marketing campaigns", it's due to the fact that nobody wants the Move. They already have a Wii and they are not interested in paying 300 dollars just so they can have Wii Sports Resort with HD graphics.

Of course nobody wants the Move. For a starter, nobody's heard of the Move, and on top of that, it has two-half decent games and nothing which would really warrant a purchase for the majority of people. For now.

It had plenty of television ads, pre-orders have been pushed for months now, and they even had midnight openings...

What else could they have done? Go door to door?

Release it four years ago at half the price with games from Insomniac, Naughty Dog and Santa Monica.

That's pretty much the only way Move was ever going to get a huge launch week.
