It is.  I think the sale ends the 2nd of Oct.  So, the Move is definitely not being discontinued.  Here's my thread on the topic: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=134173&page=1

Although, I think it would be smart for Sony to at least lower the price of all Move accessories by ~$10-$15 permanently.  This would boost sales quite a bit and probably still make them a good amount of profit.

It would only boost sales slightly and temporarily. Price isn't the problem, people just don't want the Move.

The best games that use Move also use a joystick. The Move required games are mediocre. My guess is Sony will just let it fade into obscurity or maybe create a camera like Kinect that works with it.

Um what lol, it sold half as much as kinect with 1/10th the advertisement, and it's also the highest selling pheriphiral Sony has every released and is making them a profit. Also the best move games can also use a joystick yes, but the best kinect games (or rather only ones that work) you can't even make your character move in a direction and aren't very good. Also Sony has a camera like kinect, and it is part of move, there's the camera and the wand and the option nav controller, you obviously don't know what you are talking about. 

But whats the size of the userbase? People only need one Kinect so the Kinect userbase is 10 million plus. Which is a decent size audience and the reason Kinect gets support.

Now you say the Move sold half as many units. But we don't know the actual userbase size. I would presume many people bought multiple Move controllers because several games require two. There are also those who purchased maybe 3 or 4. So what can the userbase of Move actually be? 2 - 3 million?

Doesen't matter what you think about Kinect nor do I need an explanation of the Move. Ultimately, the masses chose Kinect over Move and it has done a significantly better job at selling games. Maybe Sony should have raised that marketing budget and put out better games that actually require the Move.
