Can't be that far off, right?. Sony said they have sold over 1 million in June.
Funnily enough I tend not to use the analog sticks all that much even in something like Mage's Tale which has every movement option, I like to move to a spot and then dodge around in my room.
For me using the analog sticks takes me out of it and I often forget I have the option. My favourite game is actually entirely static (Dead & Buried) but it's also the most active as you hide behind cover, crouching or turning up against a post and not having to worry about artificial locomotion of any kind really just lets me focus on what I'm doing.
Mage's Tale has it best IMO you can have normal locomotion and smooth locomotion on the left stick or teleport on the right to get around quicker (you are a Mage after all). I'm not against movement on the analog stick like traditional games I just think the smooth variety looks ridiculous and has the added issue of making a lot of people feel ill.
For games trying to be realistic then sure teleportation doesn't make sense but I don't think I've played one yet to see.
They make money on the every unit right from the start though. But yeah, software revenue is what we all itching to know.
I find it interesting you played Mages tale by choice with teleport as the main traversal option. I personally used the dash steps first before moving to full locomotion and never looked back to the options. I don't understand how smooth locomotion looks ridiculous, especially when you can dodge whilst moving around in locomotion too (its not like you have to stand still whilst moving around). I actually found teleporting and having to pick the spot you want to jump to more awkward than walking backwards spellcasting when fighting against the larger enemies in that game and even against normal melee enemies (although physically dodging is always best against archers).
Teleportation is really awkward for exploration in general too, since you have to slideshow your way across the environment when you can just walk around the hallways with full locomotion. I don't think a game like Pavlov or Onward would be as fun if it was tied to teleportation, even raw data for me is best played with locomotion(with teleport button being used to quick travel across long distances only). From Other Suns that comes out in a few days works great with locomotion (I cant even remember if it has teleportation options since I jumped straight to locomotion controls).
Dead & buried is great as well as super hot for employing a static play space encouraging physical movement.

However people want to hate it first gen Kinect was a very successful peripheral. I've had several coworker who went from "videogame is evil" to buying XB360 just to play Just Dance with their kids.
It only tells how dumb Microsoft was that time when it took "only" a silly forced launch bundle with 0 games to to kill Kinect.
No I used the standard locomotion mostly with teleport, I tried the smooth locomotion for all of 5mins and turned it back to normal, it just looks silly to me. The standard one works great and looks like you are stepping as opposed to gliding.
Fine with smooth in something like Mission: ISS though.
