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.

It might have sold 1M starter bundles, in fact, it's probably pretty safe to assume that in that 2.5M, at least 1M(if not 1.5M>) is starter bundles, as standalone Move controllers are hard to come by, and the navicon isn't that popular.  In regards to software sales, what are the combined sales for Heavy Rain, Ruse, Tiger Woods, Resident Evil, Sports Champions, Eyepet, Tumble, Echochrome 2, and all the other recently released Move games?

Hundreds of thousands of Kinect games in it's first month should be pretty easy as there's a game packed in with Kinect units in all regions, unlike with Move.

What are the sales of  heavy rain. Tiger woods e.t.c AFTER move's release ? Even they wouldn't really indicate much but still that's what we should be looking at...or are you implying we should consider Heavy rain's and RE overall sales ?? 

What 2.5 million sold, the numbers are clearly shipped and i doubt they shipped more starter bundles, it's just that SB are not selling as good as the single controller.

When i am talking about kinect's software sales i am EXCLUDING the pack-in game. Hundreds of thousand of games sold without kincet adventures.

This is sony grasping at straws (as usual) which will become even funnier when the first kinect numbers get released and ,of course, the November/December NPD for the xbox360.
