Should have been bundled worldwide. Would be at perhaps 2 million by now.

Now bundled it gives more money, better than large #'s is alot of cash =]


No they needed to get Move and a launch title into as many homes as possible to spread the word about the product. A damn demo disc isn't going to cut it. A full game is more enticing and it should have been Sport Champions. I don't even know why they chose Beat Sketch for Japan. Sony really irks me with the way they do business.

nope we in Australia get an Demo disc of an collection of move titles in the starter bundle for the extact same price as the US. (even with currency exchange)

DAM BULL %&%#

What??? You mean the Move starter pack in Aussie is $99 Aussie? It's about $99 here in NZ. So given NZ:US is about 1:0.74 Ifigure a non-Sports Champs Starter pack is about equivalent value. Aussie dollar is very high these days so if the starter pack in your neck of the woods is also $99 then yeah that's a bit of a rip.

But remember too $99US is BEFORE sales tax, so cost to the consumer is actually more than $99 in the US.

I forgot about RB being for sure over 1 million. So that makes SC the 75th million seller, at least. Nice.

Oh slightly off topic but it always bugged me how Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds sales for EMEAA are missing. If you look back at past game sales the series has done fairly well in that region so I'm sure it is well over a million copies as well. Sony should release another Hot Shots for PS3 in Japan.

Quite badly I'd say, for the Move only titles.

But Heavy Rain and RE5 both have got pretty decent lifts since Move came out.

Also there are a lot of Move games available on PSN, some of which I'll buy well before I buy any of the current crop of retail Move only games, and no one knows how well they're selling. Tumble and Echochrome ii (not released yet) are 2 games which immediately spring to mind, and the PSN pirate shooter for Move looks like a bit of fun too (I expect it's a bit like Time Crisis?).

My next retail Move game could be Start the Party, because I'd like to have a fun party game in the house for the young kids that come around from time to time, and the kids who've played the demo have found it to be a lot of fun. Beat Sketcher demo is pretty fun too, but not a game you play through.
