Given that Sony themselves will never know the true install base for Move and all estimates will be based primarily on trying to guess the average ration of Move controllers to an individual, I can only assume all threads related to shipped numbers (which the original piece seemed to be clearly referring to) will be suitably epic.

All I know is, if they've sold 4.1 to retailers then the basic sell through is either okay or shippments will soon collapse as there is no way retailers will keep taking stock if it isn't selling.  Most likely, based on the fact that despite some stores being stocked sky high others are definately running out it's selling well enough on an on-going basis worldwide although there are also clearly allocation issues at the store level - which are really the retailers fault as normally Sony will deliver to the retailer and the retailer will decide the split to the stores.

What we need now is a true, killer app with a high enough attach rate to shed some light on the potential install base.

Until then, it's all wild guesses all the way.


They will know by the Eye selling (at least a much better estimation, using shipped and ordered numbers)
