Okay, let's make this simple so that even you can understand. The article says sold to retail no to consumers, what's so hard to understand about that?
And that reference was in put in an update to the article, meaning that they contacted SONY.
If you want to be such knucklehead then let's just wait till they announce, 4-5 million units shipped, should be pretty soon, right?

Okay, let's make this simple so that even you can understand:
1. The sell through rate for Sony is 100%. End of discussion. In your fantasy world, this means that distributors are renting garages to stuff with Move controllers. In the real world, distributors buy everything Sony can deliver (and currently, Sony delivers Move controllers _by air_. This show that Sony is trying not to kill the momentum they have) and put it on their shelves.
2. The sell-through rate in shops is approx. 95-100% for Navs, 90-100% for dildos, and about 60-100% for starter packs (depending on store size/importance) for most European countries.
3. Move controllers are NOT manufactured 1:1:1. Shops get about 7 [Starter packs] : 3 [Dildos Navs]. So any "Everybody buys 3 dildos/Navs with a Starter Pack" excuses is patently wrong.
4. Most people do buy the Starter pack WITHOUT any Move software (ask store clerks if you don't believe it. I have seen about 2 dozen folks buy Starter packs, NONE bought additional software). Software numbers are not really suited to track hardware numbers (which also means that Move currently sells to existing PS3 owners to a large extent).
It must really be frustrating to be you. You thought Kinect will se gigantic numbers and Move will not sell at all. So keep on ignoring the facts. But be assured that MS will sell more Kinects than Sony will sell Moves, nothing can beat the hype train and $$$$ when it comes to selling.
