Even Dreamcast sold 10 million but fell to the wayside. Also hasnt reports from websites shown the numbers to be inflated? Numbers include seperate move wand sold.

The lataest 4.1 million sold units of "move" to retailer are including every type of "move" product. In other words standalone wand units or standalone Eyecamera.

As other sites and forums are pointing out, Sony needs an accurate way to actually track how many actual units are sold. Imagine if Wii counted every wand????????????

To point to this just look and add up the entire sales of Move games.

No, Sony stated that their 4.1 mil figure was for the Move controllers alone.  It does not include the PS Eye or the Navigation controller sales.  Of course, when they say sold they mean shipped.  And I believe they will give an updated number at E3 this year.

Actually no. Your wrong. They group them alltogether. Notice how they phrase it Move units. And say stores are asking for more. As many websites are stating the game sales shows this. They are poor game sales to say the least.

" A Sony representative explained that the 4.1 million actually represents Move units shipped to stores, adding "While we don't disclose our exact sell-through number, the key is that our retailers continue to ask for more Move units and are taking every unit we can supply them with based on their sales." Which, you know, would have been a cool thing to put in that press release, we think"

No, you are wrong.  If you read the original press release, it never mentions the Navigation controller, as well as speaks of the PS Eye as being a seperate entity. You also missed the 1st footnote of the press release.

"Tokyo, November 30, 2010 - Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced that the sales of PlayStation Move motion controller for the PlayStation 3 (PS3) computer entertainment system reached over 4.1 million units worldwide *1.

*1 Number as of November 2010. Cumulative number since its release date, September 15 for Europe/PAL territories and Asian countries/regions, September 19 for North America and October 21 for Japan. The number does not include sales of stand-alone PlayStation Eye camera or stand-alone PlayStation Move navigation controller."

The only ever confusion is that people didn't know if they meant shipped to retail or sold to customer.  They meant shipped to retail.

Edit: Darn, beaten to the punch.
