Damnit Leo J, now if Kinect sells better we're gonna have to hear about it for two years.  They sold well so far, hopefully it continues.  With Microsoft's massive marketing I'm gonna say no.  That way I'll be happier if it does! lol

lol will this be a "GTA4 will kill the Wii" Leo-J prediction that we've had to hear for ages!!!!! lol

I wouldn't say they should be compared at all for a couple of reasons.

 

PS Move's numbers will be inflated because people would buy numerous Move controllers, while you only need a single Kinect.

It's hard to track how many households Move is into accurately due to all the different bundles/games that are Move compatible. Kinect will be a lot easier to track because every Kinect comes with Kinect Adventures.

 

You just can't accurately, or fairly compare them sales-wise. But if you want to compare them with every single Move controller sold vs every single Kinect sold... I'm just gonna watch from the sidelines.



                            

The new excuse:

"every 2 Move controllers = 1 Kinect"



I am the black sheep     "of course I'm crazy, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong."-Robert Anton Wilson

well after hearing about this oprah thing and 500 mil for advertising kinect could be big



It sounds like it's going to be bigger than Jesus in the US as someone here put it.

 

... and Jesus is pretty big in the US.



"Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, IT IS THE LEADERS of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."  --Hermann Goering, leading Nazi party member, at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials

Keep dreaming, I just LOVE how people conveniently ignore that the numbers released by SONY are shipments and not sold to consumers (and this is proven by the software numbers).

Kinect is going to steamroll Move.


what makes you think vgchartz has completely accurate software numbers...

I don't blindly believe VGChartz numbers. I do believe NPD (No Move games on the top 10) and the 10th position sold like what 80.000 thousand units IIRC? And no Move games in the top positions in the European charts. Those software numbers don't match with the numbers from Sony.

 

And the Americas article says  SOLD TO RETAIL (NOT TO CONSUMERS), look for yourself http://www.industrygamers.com/news/ps3s-move-has-sold-1-million-units-in-north-america/

 

So yeah, keep dreaming

 

Move is a gigantic flop and Sony is trying to do everything they can to not lose 3rd party support because no one will want to develop games for such a pathetic userbase. No wonder NPD changed the way it reports their numbers.

"this oprah thing" passed, and microsoft is teaming up with pepsi, and burger king, and a lot of big companies to push kinect sales...

It's not an "excuse" it's the logical explanation .. gee's even jnuel would admit this.

There will even be scenarios where a family with 2 boys want to play The Fight VS .. thus needing 4 move controllers if I'm not mistaken? You'll only ever need 1 kinect ...

@ Leo, pretty sure Patcher was talking about NPD, sounds like wishful thinking saying he was talking VGC figures.
