Why do we need to compare Move sales?

Move sales compared to Kinect and/or Wii are important if you want to analyze if Sony's approach was a wise one.  That's not just for bragging rights as it also is a sign to stockholders and customers as to the future of the current leadership in the gaming division.  

If it's successful even compared to the sales of the others, good call by going with a more tested form of input and targeting core gamers.  If not, it was likely a more shortsighted attempt to dissuade people from buying the others that failed.

Personally I think its interesting to see how it plays out, but its almost impossible to accurately compare them as they are not all apples.

You think comparing a peripheral's success to the Wii is meaningful?  I agree it's interesting, but not much more than that.

Don't think I ever used the word 'meaningful', but I definitely think they could be useful.  Especially if a Wii decline is juxtaposed with impressive Move sales.  It could give anecdotal evidence that Move stopped PS3 owners from being Wii-curious (laugh if you may, but I have a friend that used this reasoning for his Move purchase).
