| selnor said: Oh my goodness. This is crazy. Everyone needs to get a grip. This thread is about Move. We know as a FACT that Sony gives it's shipped numbers on Move as any Move product. Not just 1 actual user Move sale. The very very very high chance that less than 3-4 million individual users have Move is the absolute best estimate anyone can make. It's educated and very highly probable.
As for the whole lets attack M$ actual 360 sales because Move sales are bad is pathetic. Ok so of course there is some people who would have bought a new 360 again. However since the 2nd week of the 360 being out M$ have been repairing free. Then after the first 6 month period they did 3 year warranty. I think many people are trying to make out this is Millions of people who didnt get theres replaced free. It's more realistically around 400,000. I'm sure everyone else had a brain. Also dont forget Sony had PS3 Slim out early. The sales rose with PS3Slim. Many original PS3 users rebought there system as a Slim. The poor sales of GT5 compared to previous GT games says alot. In fact software sales of PS3 games are not as high as 360 games nor are the games which should be actually that much higher at all. What about PS3 being the cheapest BluRay Player for over a year? Lots of people bought one and do not use it for games. People need to get a perspective on all this. This gen is far from straight forward numbers wise. |
You really should do some research before you start spouting things as fact. It wasn't until July 5, 2007 that MS started the 3 yr warranty. That's 1 year and 8 months from its original realease in the States and 1 year and 7 months from its EU/Japan release. That's hardly 6 months. You also have to factor in those whose warranty are up now. Realistically speaking, the people who bought a new one, thinking MS was right in that RROD was not a big deal or user caused and/or their 3 yr warranty was up/didn't cover their defect, is more likely somewhere in the millions. But really, I don't care and will still be going by shipped numbers to determine when the PS3 surpasses the 360, but it is irritating when 360 fans wish to ignore these facts and that MS had everyone's back who had a defective 360.
And you are right, this is thread is about the success of the PSMove. Shipping over 8 million units, probably over 7 million sold, and probably in ~5-6 million homes in 6 months is very good, indeed. I really only went off topic to address someone else's off topic personal assumption.
Oh, and as far as GT5 sales go, let's wait for PD official numbers in the next few weeks, ok? 
(Wait, whats does GT5 have to do with Move? A little off topic, know?)
