Numbers for PS Move in Semptember:

82k in US according to NPD
38k in UK according to Enterbrain / Chart-track)
60k in Italy according to  "Il Sole 24 ore"

about 500k worldwide accoridng to VGC.
*note* The hardware bump was VERY tiny for the PS3 overall, according to every tracking-service we have access to.

 

This is a serious question: Did all tracking-services failed? I doubt it. To me it looks like Sony counts every wand, every PSEye, every PS Move starter kit (obviously) and every Sub-controller as one PS Move sale. So when I buy 2 wands, and one sub I am the userbase of three.

If you have a better explanation please let me know.


Who says you are a userbase of three?  I don't think anyone here, or Sony, says that 2.5m Move controllers sold = 2.5m userbase.  Or is this another manufactured stick to beat Sony with?


Sony said they shipped 3 million PS Move. So 2 wands and one sub are three of those 3 million, even though just one guy uses it.

Look NPD reported 82k PS Move sold and Sony said they shipped 1 million in NA. Add canada and mexico with about 15% of the US numbers and you should be fine. So 100k units sold in NA according to NPD, analysts saying PS Move wold below expectations and Sony says "We sold 1 million units!".

This is not the regular shipped vs sold to customer debate. The first shipment Sony reported would be in stores for 10 months. This has to be Sony counting simply as much as possible (shipped, every piece of the bundle, the stuff I mentioned before). Software sales prove that perfectly.

Just a thought: If the PS move would continue to sell like Sony claims, it would outsell the iPad by a comfortable margin. I think that says it all.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
