Forums - Sales Discussion - Will PS Move sell to non PS3 owners?

Just want people's opinion on if and why they think the $399 Move bundle will sell to casuals, or anyone that likes motion yet doesn't own a PS3.

No trolling on the move or PS3 .. I'm interested in hearing some decent answers ...

I have no doubt in my mind move will sell to a casual crowd who already have a PS3 in the family as it's not v expensive, but to non PS3 owners, I'm more curious.

probably not - i will put a lot of blame on marketing as their marketing tends to suck.

So you think Marketing will be the reason and not the high entry price?



 

I doubt it, not just because of marketing though, really the move offers nothing new or exciting to encourage the casual crowd to spend so much and I still don't think motion controll (be it Wii, 360 or PS3) offers any great appeal to the hardcore crowd.

move cost half that of kinect.

move is overall a better technology for the application of games then kinect or the wii.

move has a vastly better library of announced games than kinect.

and yet, kinect will undoubtedly sell better.

nope, i fear move (like lbp, uncharted, GoW, infamous, killzone, ect.) will just not resonate with the audience because sony doesn't know how to sell themselves.  sony has soo many great games and products and no one seems to know it. :(

Seems unlikely. I even question the ability to sell to people who already own a PS3. Most PS3 owners I've spoken to have either not really heard of it or think its silly.

I'm not talking about exisitng owners though, I'm talking about new ones, that will go for the console and motion. So the 360 is cheaper in that regard ...

Debatable on the 2nd bit.

I think sony have finally got marketing in the bag personally!

I havn't a clue how it's going to sell to the current audience tbh ...

I will say, at the very least Kinect has menu navigation and other uses other than motion games, whether that's enough to sell to hardcore I don't know ... I don't think I would buy it on that alone .. needs appealing games.

Move does have more core games on offer though (currently)



 

I don't think so. Wii has more games, better games and it's cheaper than 400 USD.



Sorry for bad English.

 

There's a $399 bundle announced?
