| starcraft said: Why on Earth is the Wii a standard bearer for success at this point? The Xbox 360 has been beating it out of routine. Taken from that perspective, Move has been out a few weeks and still hasn't led to the PS3 defeating Xbox 360, despite the products apparent strong region being Europe (the Xbox 360's less strong region). I haven't said at any point in this thread that the Move was a failure. Did it do as well as Sony hoped it would? Of course not. If a tonne of advertising (in my country at least), a massive proportion of their major events time and budget, dozens of games and an emphasis that their flagship titles will utilize Move isn't an enormous amount of hype, then Sony has never utilized an enormous amount of hype for anything. There seems to be a systematic notion of resistance in many posters in this thread (I am referring to others here Carl, rather than you) to the concept that Move was anything other than a resounding success, when there is clear evidence that it was not. |
The Wii is the record breaking, generation leader. Before the PS Move it was also the only home console that offered a wide array of Motion Control games available for it. That's why I used the Wii.
Can you provide any links/evidence that states to us how well Sony expected Move to do, without going on your own assumptions?
Seeing that you mentioned the 360. I also want to say this -
MS Expect to sell (ship) about 3 Million Kinect units by the end of the year. Sony have shipped 2.5 Million PS Move units in a Month. Kinect is the product with MUCH more hype and ad power behind it. It's also the product pretty much everybody expected to win in the HD Motion War... Sony have also had to recently increase production.
I don't possibly see at all how you (or anyone else for that matter) can say Move hasn't been a success so far for Sony.
