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.

you are saying things like the are fact while you have no data or prove what so ever that sony lost money on move. however here are the facts.

1- 15 million units sold of a peripheral, peripherals are sold at a profit, they all are. it makes no sense to sell them at a loss, even if they are sold at discounted price, that price still takes in a profit.

2- Sony are still supporting the move, suggesting that the peripheral did infanct make profit and was a success. they showed the move off in the announcement of the PS4 and said it is in their plans to continue to support the move with the PS4. the fact they made a new 3D camera that works with the move further proves that it did infact succeed. were is your evidence that it lost money? were is your evidence that there is a lack of move inventory in stores? how does it have a short life if they are planning to continue it with the PS4?

@bolded. haa! thats a good joke
