If I am not mistaken Heavy Rain, RE5, EyePet and other Move patched titles went up in sales along with the launch of the Move.

You had people choosing between Sports Champions, Start The Party, RE5, Heavy Rain, EyePet, as well as any of the other Move launch titles.

 

It isn't like Sports Champions is the only good Move title. I currently own Sports Champions an RE5: GE.

Underlined: Not very much, and not nearly enough to make a number this high.

Move titles in general charted quite low, even in the very first week Sports Champions was the only one high in the charts.

Alright, but then factor in those who already had these titles that decided to buy a Move controller?

Those 500k EyePet owners in EMEAA only needed to buy a Move controller and nothing else since they already had a camera. If any of those households had RE5 or Heavy Rain they could have been tempted to buy the bundle.

Obviously not everyone ran out to grab Sports Champions, especially in the territory that most likely had the largest PSEye install base.

For every reason you think the numbers here are right there is a reason for why they could be wrong.

I mentioned that in my previous post, but even assuming a very low overlap between those titles, you would need quite a high attach rate among owners of those titles to amount to anything significant, and there's no way the total even approaches 1.5 million.

 

And honestly I'm skeptical that many people buy a controller to play a game they already have, that bit better, without picking up more software as well.

What about PSEye sales between March 2007 and October 2009? PS3 launch and EyePet launch in EU by the way.

Also this doesn't mean SONY sold all 1.5M of whatever Move, Eye, Nav combo this counts as, but it must have sold enough to make them think about producing more.

 

I am not claiming to be right, but it is very possible that the Move is having a bigger impact than initially thought.
