No, they are all very much in stock. Move isn't selling at Amazon because it simply isn't selling. it isn't due to any shortages. Move has never been in shortage for the bundle.

The only thing in shortage is extra controllers but that isn't what new Move customers buy..it is the starter bundle, which are in PLENTY of supply at Amazon UK, Amazon France and Amazon Germany. The extra controllers only sell to people who already own Move (have bought the Move bundle) so sales of those don't matter. The thing we follow is sales of the Move starter bundle since we are trying to track the number of new Move users.

Here are links to show that the Move starter bundles are in stock at all three places:

Sorry, but Move sales just aren't very good.


I looked at your links:

UK: Dispatched from and sold by Gameseek. £59.99 ... Third party and more expensive.

Fr: Habituellement expédié sous 5 à 7 semaines. EUR 54,90 ... Price is good, but 5-7 weeks till it's shipped.

De: Verkauf und Versand durch x-a-m-80. EUR 84,90 ... Third party and way more expensive.

This is exactly what I said in my previous post: only expensive third party offerings.

 

Some anecdotal evidence: Looking at the retailers in Germany: Everywhere I went there were no starter packs and no Move controllers left, navs were in good supply though - so Move is either selling pretty good or Sony didn't ship enough. (Where I live at least.)

 

@your comment regarding the single Move controllers:

We have no clue who these are selling to. Yes, many of them probably sell to people like me, who bought the starter pack and want an additional controller, but there were quite a few people who already had a PSeye when move launched - we don't know what kind of adoption-rate there is for those people.
