[PS3] Sony Move Sales....

It seems that Sony settled on the right name for its PlayStation Move motion controller, as the company is definitely moving plenty of units in Europe. Speaking to Bloomberg, Sony Europe's Andrew House noted "very significant sales" for the Move, saying that it has sold "somewhere in the region of 1.5 million units for the new controller across just Europe." He added that sales have exceeded Sony's original hopes, and that the company will likely increase production of the peripheral.

Sales may not be as motivated in America, however. In a report released to the media, Wedbush Morgan's Michael Pachter estimated that the motion controller sold around 300,000 units in its US debut, including Move console bundles; though it's important to note that SCEA has not released official sales figures. Despite the sluggish launch estimate, Pachter expects both the Move and Kinect to drive console sales in the US this holiday season.

Silly europeans...:smh:

Has anyone used this yet? I feel like it has gotten positive reviews but the whole motion WII controller thing has run its course

 

[leaffan]

I've noticed the only people that are buying or talking about these things are females and guys who don't play video games. Most of these people can be put into the "whats a blu ray" category.

Its basically the wii v.2 but comes in black.

The Movie is great technology with no games right now. This shits on the Wii.

 

[Pills]

From what I hear, it's more precise than the Wii controllers, but Buzzman hit it on the head - the games currently SUCK. We were looking at it over the weekend and considering it for the holidays, but there's nothing out there right now.

Give it 6 months to a year, and it should do well.

Michael Pachter is everywhere

Ping Pong and Archery are fun as hell, but not enough for me to purchase it.

I'm surprised sales here weren't that great. I went to Best Buy the weekend it came out and the following weekend to find they were out of the $99 bundles and the controllers. I had to buy the stuff at Target and they said they sold out earlier in the week as well.

Toys r us in manhattan had a ton of them on tuesday

so true. i mean they couldnt have at least one good game. not some carbon copy of whats already for the wii

 

[MvP]

I didn't know anyone bought it to be honest. If I walk into a room and see it i'm going to be surprised.

 

[MmmmBeeeeer]

Already have a Wii and a PS3.

 

[Buzzman]

The Shoot demo was actually really fun. The point and shoot is a lot better then the Wii.

Its basically the wii v.2 but comes in black.

With HD graphics

The article I read earlier said they have "moved" (no pun intended) 1.5 mil units. That is far from actual sales. That just means they have shipped that many.

Still a good sign though.

Eventually it will get games worth playing.
I think the whole move to motion control is a good thing if it makes controlling what you're doing in a game easier.
As a sports game fan, I feel awful showing videogame newbs the 6,000 controller moves you need to know to play Madden (and the 600,000 moves you need to know for NBA2k isomotion).
I have a better chance of getting an advanced degree in Russian Literature than I do of ever learning half those isomotion controls.

 

[Twigg4075]

That's exactly why I haven't been into the 2K games for the past several years. The controls are so daunting. I like simplicity.

This is from Sony's patent paperwork :laugh:
