Look guys i am not trying to cuz flaming but just hear me out

Its quite wierd that they don't mention any software sales cuz people are buying the move but aren't buying the games. This should raise concern if people are buying move because of the softwares or buying the move expecting better games in the future cuz according to vgchartz, only 1 game(sports champion) is in top 200 and I don't see any more move titles in the chart. I believe softwares should sell devices and give people more reason to buy those devices, not the other way round. At least for kinect, it is evident that people are buying the software for the device which shows about up to 7 games in top 50 which also shows health hardware to software ratio. I don't actually know if software sales will improve in future but I will sit down, wait and see.

the software sales can't be directly compared in the case of Move and Kinect, because when i bought my Move, i already had several compatible patched games without even buying them especially. Then there are Downloadable games that don't chart, whereas, Kinect customers have no choice but to buy the games if tey want to play something

In the US move starter kit comes with sports champions. You can make the reasonable assumption that every move new user bought at least a starter kit, it's just much more convenient both in price and availability. So the number of new users of move is lower than the sales of sports champions in the US. This compare directly to the sales of Kinect Adventure. I think that per vgchartz the ratio is 2:1 in favour of kinect and I suspect NPD data are not too good for sony, that's because of what pachter keeps saying. Anyway in the us sports champions and kinect adventures numbers can be directly compared.
