Not only are they good for developers, but important to consumers.

I don't want to buy a product, that I'm unsure of future wise. Of course Sony is going to say "It's doing fantastic, we have loads of games coming" what the heck else are they going to say? Every company would say that.

Then when they don't bring out numbers to match it, and said consumer finds out it's not doing too bright, and their investment isn't looking to good ..

Not saying that is the case for Move at all, but it's an example of why it's important we have these userbase figures.

You can never be sure of a products future and just because it sells a megaton doesn't mean it will get great support. See the Balance Board and WM for examples. Both sold great and have decent software libraries behind them but how many high profile games are anticipated for either?

Even the reverse is true PSP doesn't have great hardware or software sales but it has a consistent stream of quality titles (which is why I love the thing). 

I'm not arguing with your other point, this is a sales sight and its expected to ask for figures. I don't expect we will get them, when was the last time Sony updated PS Eye figures. Did Nintendo update their peripheral shipments last quarter? I don't know.

In some ways you are both right, but I'll go along with your view. Take a step back to three years ago and the PS3 was getting the same negative sales remarks as move is now. 

Don't forget many "bright" members on this site were predicting the end of Sony and the PS3.

Only time will tell and the tortoise may yet catch the hare.

Anyhow, I must agree with Squilian (which is indeed rare) that no news in this business is generally negative news, but you never know.
