Yep TM, Sorcery and Starhwak have been terrible sales wise (at this point in Europe specifically), and when it comes specifically to UK I like the expert analyses that goes on about not being in the top 40, like it actually means something taking into consideration how bad software is selling in there. Mater of fact, VGChartz has overtracked almost every new release this year in UK this year according to Gfk Chart tracking.

Look at those numbers and then tell me it´s Sony/Marketing/whatever fault when established franchises can´t sell for nothing.......and yes move is dead, PS3 is dead, thank god we have Wii, 360 and Kinect every week having spectacular numbers...... (not trying to defend Sony in any way shape or form, just exposing people making points based on positions rather then sales to elude ignorant people into being blind)
Fact is, videogames are taking a HUGE nose dive in UK this year, and the funny thing is I actually don´t see new consoles doing crazy numbers when they come out.
