Look at kinect on amazon.

http://www.amazon.com/Kinect-Xbox-360/dp/B002BSA298/ref=pd_sim_vg_2

The top 3 things that people bought when they bought a kinect is:

Kinect sports
Kinect Adventures
Playstation Move bundle.
then kinectimals.

Similarly, the number one thing people bought when buying a Move bundle, is kinect.
And the next two are dsi's.

However, on the Playsation Move Starter bundle (no console) http://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Move-Starter-Bundle-3/dp/B002I0J4NE/ref=pd_sim_vg_6
THe only things listed beside playstation stuff is kinect, zelda SS, and kinect adventures.

Now, when viewing kinect's page, 86% of people buy kinect, and 2% buy Move, whereas on Move's page, 64% buy it, and 10% buy kinect.

Something fishy is going on with sales numbers.

odd...

it's almost as if retailers are buying these. For this kind of thing to even register, there would have to be a significant portion of people buying both. Who would do that? Are there really so many hardcore collectors and gamers out there?

It doesn't make sense.

Sorry, not to sound stupid but...could you explain more please? :D

Amazon keeps track of what other stuff people buy when they buy one product.

When people buy move, they often buy kinect, and when people buy kinect, they also buy move.

One possible explanation is that cross-console ownership between the PS3 and Xbox360 is higher than previously believed.

Another one is that some people are buying in large quantities in hope that when these products will launch they will be sold out and thus can be sold at higher prices.

good idea. Possibly ebayers.

i would say people who buy them now, months before release, are ONLY hardcore collectors and gamers
