NPD's stats appear to show that Microsoft's Xbox 360 Kinect is outselling Sony's rival PS3 Move controller by 5-to-1, at least if you believe Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter.
According to a note sent by Pachter to an investor - as reported by MCV:
"Under one-fifth of PS3 sales included bundles with Sony’s Move controller, suggesting another modest month.
"Over 2/3 of Xbox 360 sales included bundles with Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral, as Xbox 360 Kinect console bundles again outsold PS3 Move console bundles by over 5:1. We note that the top selling Kinect software titles easily outsold their Move counterparts."
Pachter believes that Kinect will, in fact, add strength to the Xbox 360's push to become top console dog:
"We expect demand for the Xbox 360 to remain stronger than the other consoles due to the popularity of Kinect," he added. "We expect Wii and PS3 hardware sales to continue to decline (despite February’s up month for both) in the first part of 2011."

Move might have done better if they had, I dunno, advertised it?

Yeah. Sony seemed to focus their (limited) marketing for Move at more traditional games and their existing fanbase. At least Microsoft realised that if you are creating a device to steal Wii users, then you have to offer the Wii like experience to them. All their adverts remind me of the early Wii ads.
