Yah that is impressive. I find it just as impressive that Kinect didn't massacre the Wii. Nintendo and Microsoft are both doing great jobs. I wonder if Sony will continue to push the Move as highly as they initially planned or whether it will get abandoned in a year or two like the Balance Board.

This shows the difference between the companies (Nintendo and Microsoft) one company fully expects it to go bonkers, while the other is still cautious to what will happen. MS will learn and is learning. Next Gen will be awesome for MS imo.

Sony and Move could go either way. whether its early enough to call Kinect victor I dont know. What I do know though is that Move sold 3 controllers to one person today so they could play with their partner. We will never really know the numbers, and to be honest I dont think sony knows either.

This is beyond and advantage for Sony because the numbers cannot be directly compared. Sony is only letting it happen in the US and lets be honest, even if Kinect failed miserably US would still somehow outsell Move, at least initally. Microsoft has created a stronghold in the US. They couldnt do that with the original Xbox so fantastic job to them.

... i hope i didnt go off too much of a tangent haha
