So I am NOT a Pachter hater, nor do I beleive that he pulls these statements, completely out of his ass.  So the question I have is, what evidence could he have that would support, in his mind, this theory?

Hmmm.

No evidence at all.

BAM! 4.1 million Move controllers Shipped, not sold. They are only "sold" to retailers.

BAM! Out of stock and low in supply.

Shipped or sold to consumers it doesn't matter. Move is selling well right now. It's either we accept it and move on.

I guess pacther got trolled by Sony.

Sony 1 Pacther 0.

EDIT* Thanks to Ethomaz for these links.

Its almost always shipped... 4.1 million shipped clearly means that more than 2.5 millions have been sold. Patchers article is pure garbage.

Well, Engadget reports that Sony confirms that 75% of units shipped in US are bundles.  That supports the wand shortage theory.  2.5 million shipped to US and Europe seems to be off unless he's citing data before a major shipment units.  Could be possible this time of year.

If the shipments are distributed worldwide by the percent of PS3s per region, that would be 40% in the US or 1.64 million bundles and wands shipped to the US.

Seeing as Engadget also reported that Sony confirmed that 75% of units were bundles, that would make for 1.23 million bundles in the US and 410,000 individual wands shipped in the US.

Sounds like it's going to be tough finding wands over Christmas.

Yes, this information does seem consistent with Pachter's assertions.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Sony trolling Pachter.. bad estimates is bad.
