That does actually appear to be the case.  In Spain they've been tracking the Move Starter Pack alongside other software, and last week the Starter Pack came in 2nd overall while Sports Champions was way down at 10th.

It seems many here refuse to believe that the Move is actually selling very well.

It was essentially penciled in as a failure right off the bat since SONY wasn't going to spend hundred of millions of dollars on advertisement and instead opted for word of mouth to carry it along.

 

The fact that it is selling good on word of mouth alone is what actually what makes these numbers so impressive.

But they are spending money to advertise it.  Just not as much as some other companies, and it's spread out over a pretty lengthy period of time.

Just look at NA.  We've already had, what, 3-4 different Kevin Butler commercials for Move?  Even Sony's biggest games get a mere one.  And the Coca-cola campaign isn't starting until next month.

I don't watch TV, so I guess that explains why I thought there was little no no advertising.

I have seen Move controler european ad over 10 times already in Polish TV and hell i have seen at least 5 or more times ad of one of our mobile operators who now have plans with PS3 move bundle given to the plan instead of cellphone and strongly pushes it in TV.

But as for 1,5M i think we should consider than perhaps VGC estimation of how many people buy stay alone controler is too low as just controler is hard to find even in online shops.
