But again, very puzzling how VGC would begin counting only unique users to Eye and Move as the official numbers. 

It's not puzzling. VGC provide numbers to those they matter to. Developers will want to know how big the install base for the Move which means the amount of households that can play their game with a Move. The total sales are not all that relevant to them, that's why VGC does as it does.

You must have shit a break then with how this place tracked 360 slim sales compared to software ties and bumps then.

Dont act like this place has ever tracked unique sales in any such way, please, its embarassing to us who have been here long enough to know your entire post is BS. VGChartz data is to support developers? Where do you come up with this stuff?

Thank you for your time, now read my post again and realize why that time was totally wasted.

I don't know if VGChartz is actually selling these numbers yet, but I know ioi plan to make money from the numbers by selling them to publishers, developers and who else might be interested (if it isn't happening already). Clearly you would know this since you have been here for so long though...

Anyway, that's what I meant by "VGC provide numbers to those they matter to.". Developers and publishers are some of the people they matter to, and to them, the total sales of the peripheral hardly matters. They want to know how many PS Eye-Move combinations are out there, so they can gauge how big the userbase might be if they choose to use it.

In fact, just to prove how right I am, look at this:

This isn't really open to debate.

We are not going to be "tracking" Move since we don't track any other peripheral publically on the site. What we will be doing is offering periodic updates on Move and Kinect penetration / userbase which is what matters to developers / investors etc.

From this thread.

But you already knew all this, because you've been here for so loooooooooooong...
