i'm not going to lie, half a million is pretty disappointing numbers.  i was really hoping this thing would take off.

no its not, half a million in like 2-3 weeks is great for an controller. how many PS3 controllers are sold a week(not including the ones that come with the system) 

it will reach past one million soon which is great numbers for the controller 

Yes but Sony talked about Move as more then just a peripheral they said it was like a new platform. As a new platform 500k is pretty dissapointing, if Sony wants people to buy PSMove over Wii's they have to sell more then 500k launch month. They need at least a mill by the end of the first month and more after that.

I'd say if this thing hasn't sold 10-million units by spring 2012 then this is a failed product at least in terms of it being a new platform. Now if you want to lower your expectations to that of just another peripheral then 500k is pretty good. But I don't think Sony intended on it being just another peripheral, they wanted it to be in Pachter's words a WiiHD and that people would move over from the Wii to PS3.

no 500k for a new platform that next to no-one knows about is good, i'm getting fed up of this kind of rubbish, and nice way to set an impossible target for move that you know it most likely wont hit, just so you can call it a failure
