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.

Lol at the pic. Look out for the Move!

I don't see why anyone could expect the Move to be a success, when the hardware is essentially the same as the Wii, which is 4 years old, and the games are not really anything new. When even the ACTUAL Wii console is currently struggling, surely a Wii immitator won't fare any better.

Kinect will have far more success, at least initially, because it at least has sort of the novelty factor of full motion control. Granted, the Move games look far better than the Kinect games, but like I said they mostly just look like the same old PS3 and Wii games that already exist. If Sony truely wants to break into the expanded audience, they need to reach out to entirely new audiences with new types of games.
