Thought I would post that since we've heard almost nothing about Move since Kinect reached it's 5million goal last year.

I hear E.T. the video game shipped a lot of copies to a landfill. Point is: shipped doesn't mean the same thing as sales.

No, but it is some indication of what the sales are. You don't make and ship more product if people aren't buying it. Otherwise, it's just stock that's doomed to be shipped back to you if retailers purchase it altogether. I'd say the actual Move sales are somewhere between 5-6 million units.

BlackNMild2k1:
Why does everyone feel the need to point out that shipped and sold aren't exactly the same thing as if "SHIPPED" isn't what was said in the first place?

I know what shipped vs sold means, and I can only assume everyone else does too unless they actually mix up the words, which I have not done. TO my understanding the big 3 report their numbers in 2 to 3 different ways.

Sony reports "Shipped" as shipped to warehouses (as I've been told, but it could be the same as MS)
MS reports "Shipped" as sold to retailers (Retailers place an order, MS counts that as X units sold)
Nintendo reports "Sold" as in sold through to customers (mostly using 3rd party trackers)

I typed this message @ 12:30pst this afternoon, just realized I never sent it.
