Well you and postofficebuddy are telling me different PS3 prices in Europe.
Postofficebuddy is saying a Move bundled 320 gig PS3 is replacing the current 250 gig model, and selling it at the same price (300 euros), and that a 160 gig model is being sold for $275 Euros. Your telling me that the Move bundled PS3 in Europe is 350 euros, which is 50 euros more then the regular PS3. Still a moderatly good deal.
However since I'm not too familiar with past PS3 price point in Europe, and in general the Europe market, I will simply refer the the US price of the PS3. To my knowledge:
$200 - 360 Slim Arcade 4 gig
$210 - Wii bundled with Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resorts, and a Motion Plus add on
$300 - 360 Slim Arcade 4 gig bundled with Kinect/Kinect Adventures
$300 - 360 Slim 250 gig
$300 - PS3 Slim 250 gig
$400 - PS3 Slim 320 gig bundled with Sports Champions/Move
I just don't see how what is essentially an HD Wii immitation will sell over a couple million units at DOUBLE the price of the Wii. I could buy a Wii AND a 360 for that price, and as good a the Move potentially is, it's never going to be anywhere nearly as good as a Wii.
However, Sports Champions is also bundled with the top of the line $120 Move package, which I also don't see pushing too many units. Probably a couple million at best.
Finally as a stand alone game, it will at best sell 500k, and even that I find high because you still have to buy at least the $50 move controller (assuming you have a PS Eye) to play the game, and how many PS3 owners have a PS Eye?
Move will become cheaper, next fall, but so will Kinect, and I just don't see the move selling more then a few million units. There is simply a lack of casual Move titles, and I don't see why people would buy a Move-PS3 over a Wii, which has way more games. I do see a few hardcore gamers considering the device for Killzone 3, and Resident Evil 5: Gold edition, but honestly, how many people will buy a $80-$120 peripheral for a couple unreleased games? Even then how many will buy the $120 package with Sports champions?
It could sell 10 million, only if Move manages to compete against kinect, and gets a severe price cut, as well as a few more non Wii-ported titles, otherwise it's just a rich hardcore gamers magic little wand. Except it doesn't magically sell 10 million.
