As I expected, Move will be a slow burner, while Kinect will be more front-loaded. I can't wait until Kinect arrrives, so the fanboys can clash at each other, threads like "Kinect launch DESTROYED Move launch!"

playing right now: Xenoblade Chronicles

Hype-o-meter, from least to most hyped: the Last Story, Twisted Metal, Mass Effect 3, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Playstation ViTA

bet with Mordred11 that Rage will look better on Xbox 360.

it came out SEP 17TH in NA, so these are technically day one sales for NA

The data is through Sep 18th.... seems like 2 days to me.

Besides, it is still week 1 sales, as a week is defined from Sunday to Saturday (in NA), people just need to expect a (for typical software curves) a smaller drop in week 2 than a game that started selling on Tuesday rather than Friday. Obviously since this is a peripheral it won't follow typical software sales curves.

Anyways, meh sales. Just looking at NA, if the sales aren't sustained at the 50k/week sales or increase in NA it'll probably be a flop. 50k over 14 weeks is only 700k "systems" in NA which is really crappy if you are going to try selling a game compared to the platforms that are already available. To compare it to the closest thing you can compare it to, the WM sold at least 5.2m units in NA to individual owners within 2009 and it still doesn't have decent support within Wii games.

I would be shocked if Move dipped as low as 50k for the rest of this year, really. It might towards the end of October, but then Black Friday hits and it will do fine.

You have to look at how Move launched. Zero advertising. Near-zero hype. Two Meta 75 games. One bundled with the controller. One multiplat with Move optional. 76 and 78. Quite frankly, until some good games start supporting the thing, it's going nowhere. Fortunately, the Heavy Rain Move Edition is coming, as are RE5, LBP2, and Time Crisis. Hopefully, they will all feature good Move support, and the hardware will start to take off.

That's just ridiculous. Inception really flopped, because look at how much Toy Story 3 has grossed.

Vgchartz should really count each controller as a sale...after all, you don't get them for free after you've bought the first one. And also, Vgchartz counts number of games/consoles sold, not number of people who have bought said item.

yes, but then again its all just guess work. Its still wayy to early to be estimating move numbers, and any attempt to do so at this time comes off premature.

If these numbers are for day 1, and day 2 and 3 sold more, (since more people saw displays after the initial 1st day/ midnight launch) wouldnt the real first week be 3 or 4 times these estimations?

I think so.

I believe Move is more of the competition to the WM plus, than Inception is to Toy Story....

After all, move is sony's desparate "move" to counter attack nintendo's succes with the Wiimote.

Move isn't an attempt to counter anything. Only somebody who is truly delusional could ever have expected that.

No, Move is an attempt to steal some of the Wii's last-minute business, lengthen the gen by changing the game experience, and prepare core players for next-gen motion control, which will probably be ubiquitous.
