hilariously awful article.

first... lets compare figures from 8 months ago (10m for kinect in March) with figures for now ("Move... recently passed 9m")

second... lets compare a stand alone one-sale-per-customer item with an item that almost every user will buy AT LEAST 2 of.

piss poor writing again.

I agree with your first point, the numbers can't really be compared with that kind of time gap in between.  I really wish Sony and MS would release some concrete shipment numbers, hopefully in January.  But you're second point is completely wrong.  Not "almost every user" has at least 2 Move controllers.  Quite a few have just one, which is why ioi doesn't just divide shipment number by 2 to determine install base.  And remember, these shipment numbers are for Move controllers only, not PS Eyes or Nav controllers (which we have no clue what the shipment numbers are for them.)

But people owning 3 or 4 bring it into parity, I'd say on average 2 is more likely than anywhere in the 1 rnage, especially as this has been adopted by the core thus willing to spend more one extra controllers.

MS have shipped way more than 10 mill obviously, I spoke to BenV and he says around 65% of 360's he's sold throughout the year were Kinect bundles. I'd estimate shipments end of Q3 to be in the 12.5/13M range easily. MS will announce Kinect sales after xmas for sure, they've been quiet perhaps because yes, sales have slowed down a lot, but also because they want this 10 mill figure engrained in peoples heads, so when they come out the media will say

'Kinect jumped from 10 mill to 22 mill over the holidays' seems more impressive.
