If you want to look at the recent holiday season as "Round 1" of the motion controls battle between Microsoft and Sony, it would appear that Microsoft's Kinect is winning handily (bad pun, considering that it's "hands free" gaming). Not only has Kinect quickly shipped 8 million units, but for the month of December, Xbox 360 Kinect bundles outsold PS3 Move bundles considerably. The software for the motion camera is faring far better too, according to Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter.

"About one fifth of PS3 sales included bundles with Sony’s Move controller, suggesting a modest third month (we have chosen not to subscribe to peripheral data). About half of Xbox 360 sales included bundles with Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral, as Xbox 360 Kinect console bundles outsold PS3 Move console bundles by 5:1," Pachter said.

"Microsoft announced that it has shipped 8 million Kinect units since launch (in November), which was raised from its earlier goal of 5 million. More significantly, in our view, the top two selling Kinect software titles outsold the top two Move titles by over 13:1."

LOL ouch talk about salt in the wound :-S

Is this U.S only?

No idea.

Due to the fact that I work in retail I don`t find this very shocking. BTW how exactly is that fail when it is not some prediction of his. He is simply announcing sales numbers for the month. The NPD data doesn`t lie you know.

Depends, one was a prediction, the other (this) is likely based on NPD data.

Obviously not. Which part of " (we have chosen not to subscribe to peripheral data)" don't you understand? Like always, Pachter throws numbers around and like always, he he proven wrong afterwards...

An analyst firm as huge as patcher's dont have access to all NPD data? That's awkward.

He is huge ... but certainly not for being reasonable.

OT: It could be true. Move titles aren't doing well on their own, compare them to kinect games and they'd look horrible.

I think the validity depends on whether this is NA or WW ratio...I thought move was doing well overseas...regardless, we will find out soon, as companies will start opening the books for the quarter.
