But then that 10% discovers they need to buy a PS3 and furthermore....a Playstation Move.

lol is all.

Wouldn't they notice that considering it says "PS3" & "Requires PS Move"right on the front of it? Not to mention has a Move bundle?

They would....and thats the point lol. The PS3 aspect wouldnt deter them...but then again I dont see someone buying a PS3 for Wonderbook.

But the prospect of buying a failed motion control device is an even bigger obstacle to overcome.

What about all those who already have PS3 in the household? Not every game requires a new customer to purchase the hardware required for it.

You also overestimate the amount of people who actually care about what a certain peripheral and/or console is selling before making a purchase. We are the minority. If someone has a PS3 in the household and their child wants Wonderbook they will just spend the extra $40 to get a Move controller as well as the PSEye. Nobody says "Hmm, should I get this for my kid? Eh, the Move sold 15M units and if you think and do some math it might only have a 6-8M attach rate." Nobody does this. Nobody cares about how many other people might have purchased what they are purchasing, especially with video games. Even more so with video games aimed at a younger audience.

It would be a one off purchase that will quickly pay itself off if the customer continues to get Wonderbooks for their child.

 

You are looking at this as a grown adult gamer who frequents gaming forums and follows sales. You aren't the target audience. There is nothing funny about the situation at all.

Thye sales will determine who is right. And I am fairly certain the sales will be underwhelming.
