Forums - Sales Discussion - Xbox 360 Kinect Bundles Outselling Move PS3 Bundles By More Than 5-to-1

Nsanity on 10 December 2010

 

While Sony says it's seen "blockbuster success" with its PlayStation Move controller, it's not clear how many have actually been sold through to consumers. The company has shipped 4.1 million units since launch. Kinect, meanwhile, has sold 2.5 million in 25 days, and according to Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter, when looking at console bundles for Kinect and Move, Kinect is winning by far.

"About one fifth of PS3 sales included bundles with Sony’s Move controller, suggesting a modest third month. About half of Xbox 360 sales included bundles with Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral, suggesting a strong first month. Xbox 360 Kinect console bundles outsold PS3 Move console bundles by more than 5:1," he noted.

He reiterated that he expects Kinect and Move to have a combined installed base of around 8 million by the end of the year, and as much as 20-25 million by the end of 2011.

I'm calling bullshit, that means in 25 days Kinect sold 2.5m (This is true)  and Move only sold 500k (This however, is not)?

Way to troll Pachter, now tell us the moon isn't made of cheese...

I hope it is true, I hope Project Natal gets to be hugely successful.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

where do you come from? did you see the move advertisement in europe? adverts every day in every freaking tv break for month now (in germany).

kinect advertising? not only one advert since launch!

maybe in usa its vice versa but in europe sony is doing a lot and microsoft is doing nothing to sell kinect. dont know about uk but in germany its crazy and i dont think move is selling ten times better here but they should if you talk about marketing.

in canada there is lots of move advertising too.   not a whole lot of kinect specific ones but it gets advertising from games like dance central, so its got a fair amount.

Yea thats why some have shifted the focus on kinect games being a failure. Which is way to early to tell and I think this year we will see 3 kinect titles hit 1  million or close too.

I see a couple move commercials a day and I don't watch much tv. SO the US is covered but hey if you want to blame it on the advertiseing  you can. I think move has been marketed as much as it can.

EXCUSES got to love them.
