For a guy writing a wall of text with logic as his main argument, you're not being logical at all.
A Move unit is the motion controller, thats the move. The camera, nav and anything else related to the move experience is not a move unit. Move is the glowing stick. Simple as that. A calculated Move unit however comes in different forms, a single Move controller, a Move starter kit and a Move Bundle etc. They dont count a Move starter kit with additional nav controller as 3 Move sales (Move controller, one camera, one nav). They ship units, not items! Thats also how they count their sales.. in units, not items.
So they've shipped 2.5m units. Simple as that. That would mean, that if there's a dual Move bundle out there, number of Move's on the market could be more than 2.5m, but since the two is bought as one unit, it is listed as one unit.

I personally would guess Move sold to around 500k-600k unique buyers. I would expect Kinect to sell more then that in it's first week easily." |
How do you expect Sony to release numbers on how many of those 2.5m units went into unique homes? How do you even gather such numbers? Its like trying to gather console sales numbers based on how many DS3s thats been sold. If i buy two units.. one with Move Nav, and one with just the Move (2 Moves 1 nav), how do you expect Sony to report that as single unit? They sold two. Or if i buy a PS3 Move bundle, and another Move controller, how would Sony get the information that im a single sale that plan to play "The Fight"?
Obviously people have bought multiple Move controllers! And pointing fingers at Sony for not publishing impossible unique user numbers seems a bit illogical dont you think?
