Yeah, I don't get that.  People are doing the same with Kinect, minimizing sales because its the holiday season.  Sales are sales.

That without bundling, Kinect Sports (one of the games I was referring to) has sold great numbers considering people already had to spend at least $150 before purchasing it just to play it.

Sports Champions, commonly referred to as the best pure Move experience, is bundled in the US and many (including the 2 friends of mine that have Move) haven't purchased anything other pure Move software.  Had they not bundled it, SC could've possibly had similar numbers but another piece of bundled software would've benefited from the bundle sales.  Then Move software sales as a whole would be better.  

I agree that it doesn't make much sense to downplay Kinect because of the holidays (which is when most platforms launch), but KillerMan does have a legitimate point. CGI did say how it "gives a good indication of where GT5 should be headed," but it's important to keep in mind that the holidays are inflating the sales quite a bit.

Of course, not saying that GT5's sales are bad (they're high as I expected), just that a direct comparison between GT5 and GT4's weekly sales isn't a fair one.

Naw. The DS isn't doomed, but iPod and PSPhone will slaughter 3DS.

Oh, and never forget, every year is always Wii's last holiday on top, ;).

Great sales for everything :)

I guess it's unfair because of the different install bases for each game's release too. There is no perfect & direct comparison to any game sequel but to slight GT5's success because of it is unfair.

Considering how bad the sales have been overall, I R Happy.

Oh,and Wii, DS, DKCR, Epic Mickey etc. are doing great!!!

Yea I see what you mean and I kind of agree, but as I said, there's plenty of games that are Move compatible and that people already owned before Move came out (2 of my friends bought the Move for... MAG and Heavy Rain and didn't even buy Sports Champion. x) )

So the difference lies in the fact that Kinect games are Kinect games and playable only with Kinect, while Move games must be played with Move, but you can use Move for games compatible with it too. So people are not forced to buy Move exclusive games, that are often meh.

1.5 Million..... not too shabby for a doomed console
