SPORTS CHAMPIONS falling fast in UK, none other move games in the top40.

Guess move isn't doing so good after all.

LOL I bet cause we all know sports champ is bundle with PSmove in EU....(sarcasm)

SC is a game that probably most of Move buyers have even if it isn't bundled with hardware.

Why? they have heavy rain(just patch it) MAG(patch it), RE5,2k11,RUSE and a demo that comes with PSmove.

why is sport champ the indicator of how PSmove is doin in EU?

 

Yeah... There are hundreds of games on the market and everyone who bought Move have HR, MAG or RE5 :D Get real.

You're fighting a loosing battle. You can't reason with these people. "Blockbusters" like Mag. RUSE , 2k11, RE:gold and heavy rain are what people are using move with .  Let them live in their fantasy world ....

Nice to know I'm a phatasm then. I'm one of those who have Move but don't own Sports Champs. I have R.U.S.E and Heavy Rain and they are the reason I bought Move. My nephew has Move and also doesn't own Sports Champs, he owns MAG.

And you are also conveniently forgetting the 500,000 people in EMEAA who bought Eyepet BEFORE Move was released and (as stated above) can buy a single Move controller and download the Eyepet Move patch. Eyepet being another Move enabled game I own, which controls a lot better with Move than with the magic card.

I'll be buying Sports Champs eventually, but I'm in no particular rush.

WRT the 80% attach rate, I can believe that for Americas where Sports Champs is bundled with the starter pack, and probably also for the first 1 or 2 weeks of EMEAA sales. But I think the SC attach rate in EMEAA will drop away rather quickly as time goes on without any bundling; which if you read ioi's analysis he himself says Sports Champs attach rate will fall off in all markets over time. I think the Move starter pack will eventually get a Sports Champs bundle in EMEAA, as the first step in improving the value position of Move rather than a price cut. Probably once Sports Champs breaks even.

I may be wrong but it looks to me like the sales for RE5 have seen a sustained, albeit small, increase since Move launched, in both EMEAA and Americas.

Having said that I don't think the SC attach rate is as low as 50% yet. So the number of Move enable households in EMEAA is <500K I reckon, it could be as high as 400K perhaps. Given we are talking Move controller sales when Sony is saying 1.5 million shipped, I'm thinking the Move controller attach rate may be 2 or more per Move enabled household. Perhaps that's what has surprised Sony: people are buying more extra Move controllers than anticipated, making Move sales to consumers >1 million but Move enabled households <500K.
