That's actually not true at all, the system was directly molded after SFC.  Sony wanted publishers, retail and consumers to see it as "next in line" after SFC, rather than N64.

I do disagree with the nav controller counting as a Move Unit. Move sales should be strictly Move controller given the circumstances. Dualshocks, which come with every PS3 so there is one in every home, can be used as a Nav controller.

The problem is VGChartz isnt just counting it as a single unit which it is. The playstation Move controller is called a MOVE controller, the PSEye has been available for a while is in many homes and can be bought on the cheap on its own for a while, the Nav controller simply is a cosmetically different dualshock which as i stated has been out with every PS3(since rumble) So when this NEW MOVE controller launches i dont understand why all of a sudden we are only tying it to sales of already available devices to justify its sell through.

It is what it is. Count the glowing ball controller sales and just be done with it. Sony doesnt only sell or ship a unit if its unique, its sold however many people buy. This site has never tracked unique users for anything, starting now is peculiar to say the least.

Sugarcoating?! Dude, I'm not even interested in Move. Not with the current software. Keep such remarks to yourself.

I mean, even ioi stated there hasn't been much of a marketing push, and there isn't many staunch launch titles supporting the move. I don't see how you can possibly say there is hype behind it (if I had to guess, you're basing your info on the VGC community).

But please, do continue to delude yourself.

I think its a good start

the spin is hilarious.

Whatever count every sold Move controller, real analysts know that it doesn't make any sense (look what ioi said in the comment section). It will just make the move software look pathetic low.

Yea, I suppose I can agree the Nav shouldn't be included.  But again, very puzzling how VGC would begin counting only unique users to Eye and Move as the official numbers.  I mean that knocks ~45K sales right out the window.  I do hope that Sony releases some official numbers in the coming weeks.  And regardless of how it started, I think the Move is going to surprise some people this holiday.  I know a few of family members will most likely be buying a few Moves come Christmas.  And that's only after playing a few minutes with it.

I predict meltdowns soon. Reports are going around that Bestbuys in the western half of the US are reporting sold out on Move, Amazon is sold out as well as others.

Do not take VGChartz preliminary  numbers at face value. I do not say this as a dig against VGChartz but just look at recent events.

Japan preliminary numbers are consistently off. Then take a look at PS3 Slim launch. First VGC reports said 400k PS3 were sold that week, then as the week went by it went from 400k to 450k and eventually up to around 600k sold.

So you should all relax before spouting out about who is wrong and who is right because for all we know these numbers are way way off.

Not such a bad title since Wii Sports in itself is mediocre.  It just was first.  I know the Nintendo faithful want to believe that Wii Sports was some sort of immense undertaking, but that is BS.  It was a OK game that showed off Motion Controls.  It sells so well simply because in 2 out of the 3 market it is bundled and has always been bundled.

As for the Move count. Does it really matter? Honestly what you really want to see is an increase in PS3 sales.  If Move/Kinect sells great yet PS3/360 sales dont increase then it just doesnt matter.  I for one believe that both the Move and Kinect will erode some of the Wii market.  Does this change where they all finish? Probably not, but still am improvement is all that both Sony and MS want.

Was hoping for 250k but I guess this is okay unless we see it drop to like 40k next week. 

there amazing sales considering that there only a day or two for those regions, i also have been seeing retailers being sold out of them in my area, also that not including JP either, i believe that it will sell 140k just in week ones for JP considering how cheap moves is priced there
