Playstation Move - 4.1 Million in Two Months

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=278463

Sony has said it's sold over 4.1 million PlayStation Move motion controllers worldwide in two months.

Keep in mind, Move has many controller layouts.

Finally some good news. I'm surprised its sold this much to be honest.

good for p3 move also neither ps3 move and kinect are not going to flop

I still believe both Kinect and Move wont last long, by spring next year no one would care about either and the sales will completely slow down by then.

Ugh... I was hoping this crap would flop. The generation will now be extended longer than it would have, had they failed.

I contribute this to Sony's advertising. I've seen so many Kevin Butler ads for this thing.

Dang that impressive. Well good for Sony. I might get one eventually but I need more reasons to get one.

TBH, no where is it stated in the official press release "sold". PR is smart and used the word "reached".

Nice PR spin it's probably just "sold to retailers" aka "shipped".

Move - 4.1 Million in Two Months

Kinect - 2.5 Million in 25 Days

Definitely.

ugghhhh, sales not deservedGiancar

would the navigation controller count for this number as well? doesn't say. either way most ppl will be getting 2 move controllers and up to 4 while only one kinect so the numbers can't be compared 1 for 1.Ontain

But yet you have people in the thread thinking there is an incredible disparity. I guess this whole motion sensing deal is here to stay if these recent numbers prove anything.

Move - 4.1 Million in Two Months

Kinect - 2.5 Million in 25 Days

Definitely.

Not to mention that each individual SKU for Move counts as a sale. So every Wand, every Nav controller, every starter pack, and every Eye counts as a Move sale.

Those Kinect numbers are even more impressive when you factor in most Move owners have bought at least two Wands. I know 1 person who owns 8 wands so he can have 4 players play together.

Numbers for Move and Kinect show that Sony and Microsoft were smart with doing some motion control.

However I can say that it doesn't really bother me anymore. It seems that there are two large markets that can accommodate the core players (us) and the causals (waggle).

[QUOTE="Swift_Boss_A"]

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"] Sony & MS have both cashed in on the crowd willing to spend money without researching what they are getting. MS especially have sacrificed their long term base for a quick buck.blue_hazy_basic

Gotta do something to prepare for those intense online deathmatches. lol

Not a fact, but it's never been announced what they are counting has it? How else would they break it down? Do you think Sony would only count starter packs when trying to boast about their Move sales?

Of course not they are counting every move component they are selling, otherwise they would announce that they are only counting wands, or they are only counting starter packs, or they are only counting each eye, and wand combination, etc.

Edit: Guess I stand corrected as stoner-pimp above has linked a euro gamer article where Sony says it is just the wands and the starter packs they are counting. I'm actually amazed they are not counting the nav controller.

It was impossible to ignore the amount of scratch the Wii was pulling down, they wanted a piece and are getting it.

Ok so here's the facts, or at least as close as we can get them.

We know that the numbers both Sony and MS give are really just estimates.

We know that Kinect has sold appox 2.5 million units in 25 days.

We also know that Move has sold approx 4.1 million units in 76 Days.

Although what Sony is actually counting as Move sales we don't know for a fact. It has been stated by an article that Sony said that they are counting only wands, and starter packs.

We also know that people have bought multiple Move wands for use with one PS3 system, while it is impossible to use more than one Kinect on an Xbox 360.

Is that factual enough given what we know as people who follow the industry but don't actually work in the accounting departments at either Sony or Microsoft?

When i was at BestBuy last week i saw few people grabing 3 bundles each, i was really surprised that people are that intreasted in Move.

yeah, let's compare consoles which have been released for 4 and 5 years to peripherals that have been released for 1 and 2 months... :roll:

yep, seems many are upset that sony has yet to catch up.

It is truly impressive tho, very accurate, so far played 2 games using the move, its the first motion control i use so i was truly impressed

good sales for sony. Very impressive for Kinect. Which one can keep it going longer after the holidays? All depends on Killer Software and Price

So basically Sony is reporting that they have sold 4.1 million Move "wands". That will make things very difficult for those attempting to compare the performance of Kinect vs Move saleswise, unless someone can come up with some legitimate numbers for the average attatch ratio for the controllers for Move owners. I would guess it's somewhere around 2 per person, but that is pure speculation.

That doesnt mean 4.1 million move ready ps3s.

Hell that could be 2.05 million move ready ps3s with 2 controllers per ps3.
