I honestly expected the two to be pretty close. To see Kinect doing so much better than Move is surprising. Then again, some of Move's design, marketing, and launch strategy seems a little half-baked. Not a surprise given Sony's inability to get much of anything right in hardware over the past 5 years.

Two things Kinect has going for it

1. Oprah

2. $500 million Advertising

This is a little off-topic, but what exactly was the advertising budget for Move?

On topic, isn't it a little naive to suggest that Oprah and Advertising is all it takes?  I mean honestly, wouldn't many more companies do this then?

Well I wasn't suggesting that's all it has going for it. Kinect obviously has that new "smell" to it, and it appeals almost directly to casuals. They are eating it up right now. I don't know the budget, but I do know that Move has very little advertising prior to release.
