Hmm, if Move REALLY sold that many units in so short a time, that that clearly means that the device is selling primarilly to current PS3 owners (since PS3 sales have not significantly risen), which is exactly what I expected, but probably not what Sony wanted. Sony wants new gamers that would have otherwise bought a Wii, which I don't see happening. The best that will likely happen for Sony is, as Malstrom said, keeping the CURRENT PS3 owners on that console and dissuading them from going out and buying a Wii.

If Sony really wants NEW consumers on their consoles, they need the device AND the console much cheaper, not to mention far more games that these new consumers would like. Right now the price is far too high to jump on board, and there are far too few games in general on the device, let alone games that the expanded audience would want.

Actually Darth, I don't think Kinect and Move can be that readily compared, despite the apparent similarities.  Clearly everyone does want to compare them - including ioi in his comparison article that fell apart in the comments section to the degree he had to re-write aspects of it.

Move is a multi-configuration device that actually can be most easily compared, from a sales perspective, to the Wii seperate controller sales due to the almost exact matching of configuration.

Kinect however is a single configuration device.

What a lot of people really need to realise is that it is both hard - without clear ratio data which in this case is not available - and in some ways futile to compare a multi-configuration device to a single configuration device.

ioi, for example, wanted to use the standard 1.7 controllers per individual owner for Move, but as I noted in his article there is plenty of reason to believe this may not hold true for Move, particularly at this early point.

At this point it is likely that almost every Kinect sold represents a single user - it won't be absolutely true but very close.  At this point Move could be anything from 1.5 units per user to 6 units per user, a huge spread of possibilites (although of course they are not all equally probably, I do doubt every Move owner has bought 6 units of controllers).

That's really not that easy to compare from a sales perspective.

Look guys i am not trying to cuz flaming but just hear me out

Its quite wierd that they don't mention any software sales cuz people are buying the move but aren't buying the games. This should raise concern if people are buying move because of the softwares or buying the move expecting better games in the future cuz according to vgchartz, only 1 game(sports champion) is in top 200 and I don't see any more move titles in the chart. I believe softwares should sell devices and give people more reason to buy those devices, not the other way round. At least for kinect, it is evident that people are buying the software for the device which shows about up to 7 games in top 50 which also shows health hardware to software ratio. I don't actually know if software sales will improve in future but I will sit down, wait and see.

I agree with what your saying..mostly.

What I was trying to get accross to Chebee was that on some levels we can still compare MOVE/Kinect as they are new peripherals launched recently. They are destined to be compared.......his justification of them being compared meaning that we must also compare Wiimote sales to them is weak and borderline flamebait.
