The Move was supposed to steal away the Wii's market share. I don't see how it has successfully done that; sales are very lower in comparison to even the nearly 70 week old Wii Motion and are currently declining. I have not yet met a person who has bought the Move, or has considered buying it, who only didn't get the Wii because they refuse to buy non-Sony products for videogames. I also doubt the Move will gain much traction in the market before Nintendo unveils its next gen-console with a superior experience.

 

The Kinect looks like it will actually have a broader appeal beyond the system-nationalist fan. Although it really remains to be seen.

that plus your avatar=me saying Rome wasn't built in a day.

Well, in 600 years, if the PS Move is successful, you can tell me "I told you so." =P

When people look back on this generation; who will be seen as the company conquering nation?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Nintendo, not only did they conquer the world but they also conquered non-gamers.

Xbox One: What are you doing Dave?

Andrew House, CEO van Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, heeft via een Tweet op zijn Twitteraccount laten weten, dat de motion controller van Sony aardig goed verkoopt

De motion controller in wezen, genaamd de PlayStation Move, is sinds zijn launch vorige maand maar liefst 1,5 miljoen keer over de toonbank gegaan, en dat dit alleen van toepassing is op Europa. Dit is een aardig fors getal, al helemaal als je bedenkt dat Europa tot eind augustus 2010 circa 16 miljoen PS3's telt. Dat betekent dus dat circa 1 op de 10 PlayStation 3 bezitters de Move al in huis heeft gehaald.

 

 in  short.. sony themself said ps move has SOLD 1.5MILL units in EU alone!

Not just your opinion, I posted the same thing the other day. Microsoft really screwed up with their motion control solution by not implementing their own remote and nunchcuk clones. Having the ability to have no controller at all is all well and good but stops Kinect being used for any type of shooter...alienating the majority of their userbase. People belonging to the hardcore demographic (for want of a better word, I hate that term myself tbh) aren't going to be interested in Kinect. Kinect will really only appeal to the casual demographic, the Sony motion control solution, on the other hand, can be targeted towards both the hardcore and casual demographics.

A bit of a strange decision by Microsoft imo.

Move doing well? Check

Kinect likely to do well? Check

Ps4 and 720 to release in 2013-2014? Lol

Be careful while suggesting such things, do you want die-hard technophiles to have a heart attack?

I think it really depends on what "doing well" means ...

The Playstation Move may sell as well if you're thinking in terms of videogame sales or attach rates; but when you start looking at it in terms of sales of platforms it will (likely) do abysmally bad. While I will wait until it is released to comment on Kinect's sales, it could be in a very similar position.

Basically, selling 10 Million units is amazingly impressive for a game but isn't that impressive as a platform; and unless gamers show an unusual interest in buying games that support these platforms it would translate to support for them (qucikly) drying up. Effectively, consider this from a publisher or developer's perspective, you need to decide where to take resources away from because your game is over-budget and behind schedule where do you take it from; you can remove/reduce online multiplayer or local multiplayer, scrap single player components or release a less polished experience, or not implement meaningful features for an add-on that only 1% of the userbase has and regularly buys games for?



Once dual analog users continually get pwned online by Move users you'll see just about everyone getting it. Pointer controls are faster, smoother and more accurate than dual analog controls. In fact, once you've customised the controls to find your sweet spot and have got over the small learning curve you won't want to go anywhere near dual analog sticks to control a shooter ever again, they feel clunky in comparison.

I've had a Wii since launch and have experienced pointer controls from the begininng, and since High Voltage Software became the first developer to finally nail both pointer controls and pointer control customisation controlling a shooter with dual analog sticks just feels wrong. Plenty of MAG users on various forums have said the same thing.
