Honestly i think that after kinect launches all this pointless arguing will stop. The kinect effect will be so huge in everything (software sales , Xbox360 hardware sales e.t.c) that any comparison with move and any efforts trying to investigate sony's numbers (shipped, sold, what are these numbers starter bundles, standlone controllers e.t.c) will become pointless.

As far as this announcement go, is one million starter bundles standalome controllers in all America in over a month shipped to retailers that impressive ?? As far as software sales go we have NPD numbers for the 2 move biggest sellers (eyepet and SC) .

Well, most people seemed to find MS's announced target of 3M Kinect units by the end of the year impressive, so why not?

Because kinect is an 150$ system while the move numbers are that of many things combined (including a 30$ controller). If move had sold 1 million starter bundles and we were seeing good software sales that reflected the number of starter bundles sold then yes, the launch would have been succesfull. Righ now move is a non-factor , smple as that. It's a non-factor in software sales and it's a no-factor in ps3 hardware sales .

If kinect does't sell hundred of thousand of games in its first month and doesn't elevate the xbox360 November NPD number to AT LEAST 1 million its launch will have been a failure. I won't lowball my prediction to "save face " , like some people are doing, i've written again and again what i would consider a success for kinect.
