PS3's Move Sold 'Well Below Expectations,' says Pachter

 

Yesterday, Sony Computer Entertainment America (Darth's Edit -- should say Europe here not america) told us that the PlayStation Move "is performing extremely well at retail," although the company seemed reluctant to actually provide hard data to back up this statement. After all, if the product is selling so well, why not give us the sales information? In Europe, Sony revealed that Move sold around 1.5 million units.

In North America, however, Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes that Move really did not fare as well as Sony would have liked. Despite the suspected slow start, Pachter still thinks that Move, and Microsoft's Kinect, will have a notable impact on industry sales this holiday season. "Even though we believe Move sold well below expectations in its first month, we expect it, along with the Kinect (launching November 4), to drive hardware sales at holiday," he said. 

The launch of PlayStation Move did not seem to noticeably lift the fortunes of Sony's PS3 either; Pachter revealed that the PS3 sold 312,000 units in September, which represents a 37% decline year-over-year.

Thats Pachter's opinion!!!

Hey at least he STILL expects it to DRIVE PS3 sales in the holiday!

I wish you would put an option in your polls that reflected quite a lot of people on here's view points. Mine is "I expected it to sell this poorly". It almost seems like you never have an honest opinion option, hm...

But it hasn't sold poorly, so why would I put that option in?
