well the question is quite easy to answer. Go to any retailer and see if they have tons of them laying around and slashing the price. If that is not the case, even if they sold it only to retailers it means it getting sold. Ofcourse every single human being could stop buying moves tomorrow and they would never be able to sell one single move anymore, but that is kinda unprobably. Even if it is sold to retailers, they wont have more then 10 to 20% in the channels.

Sony usually count "sold" as sold to retailers. If it was sold to consumers, they would mention it in the P.R.

Terrible logic for the reason I posted above. The average Wii consumer owns 2 Wiimotes.marc^o^ said:

Channel stuffing ho!

Sold to retailers, and you can have multiple moves on one system as opposed to only one kinect for one Xbox.
If you want to compare, you should compare Eye Camera vs Kinect sold to consumers.

Yeah sold to consumers would be pretty mind blowing but it just doesn't add up especially as they aren't counting each individual item. It's hard to say if Move is doing well at all without knowing how many have been sold at retail instead of to retail. A few people in this thread seem to misunderstand this though.
For all we know this could be a case of stuffing the channels.

Not a chance this is to consumers.

I don't have a problem with them, Hell, I even bought a Move. Mostly at this point im' just depressed at the lack of creativity shown in motion gaming overall. Im' really starting to doubt whether there are any really good applications for it with the current level of tech available.

year of the Playstation 3 Playstation Move.
Impressive number but the biggest news out of this is that with Move controller they don't include bundles, Navigation Controller and Eye Toy (this one was obvious to me btw).
The challenge for them is the same as Microsoft, keeping the add on relavant by releasing a good stream of titles which take advantage of it next year.
Little Big Planet 2 and Killzone 3 should provide a good year start.

There really is no way to properly compare the two since as noted multiple move controllers can go with one system compared to one Kinect needed per system. The playstation eye also is not really a good method of comparison either since the thing has been sold for years now and bundled in various manners.

Eh? It doesn't say it's not counting bundles.

Very nice. I really wish they'd give us sold through numbers though.

Well it all boils down to sale through. We know Japan hasn't really been hit. We also know that as of the end of October in the US best estimate of actual sale through is 400k or so. So take that 4.1-400k and that leaves 3.7 million(3.6 maybe with Japan..not sure) for November US and Europe since launch. Perhaps we will get an updated sale through figure post Nov NPD. Seems like it maybe a hit in Europe not as much in the US. Perhaps the opposite of Kinect at this point.
It always surprises me that threads like this require pages of clarification. At least, it surprises me when the info in the OP is so clear. And of course, the qualification that it's sold to retail goes without saying...or should do.
How anyone can read from it that it's just bundles, or is 4.1m consumers, or is sold to consumers, or whatever... is beyond me. It's very clear what the statement is saying.
