Idk what you're talking about. PS all stars and PSmove bombed

15 million PS moves sold beg to differ 


Huh... there are still people trying to brand that as a success.  Go figure.

makes much more sense then saying the move bombed


15 million sales in a vacuum means absolutely nothing.  How much money did they make off the Wii Move?  How many of those moves were sold at full price?  How much did Sony spend on Move software like Wonderbook, Move Heroes, Carnival Island, and Sorcery?  How much did this software sell?  How many games were supporting move a year after its release?  Two years?  How much did Sony spend on marketing?

You have to look at things holistically.  I don't know how much Sony made or lost on the move, but judging by the sales of Move software, Sony's lack of support for it, Sony's not thinking a move bundle is worth having for the PS3, a lack of move inventory in stores, and an exceedingly short active lifespan, deep discounts on move stuff at many retailers, and so on, and opportunities lost by not working on other stuff (maybe some Vita software?) I'd say it was a flop.
