Forums - Sony - PlayStation Move will be HUGE! Check out this Midnight launch line!

I picked up a single Move controller today.  The had plenty of ps3 move bundles around, and about 4-5 standalone controllers left.  Didn't get a good count on the number of Move bundles or Navigators left.  No idea how many they shipped, obviously.

Only one other person was in the area, eying the Move console bundle.  But they were just wondering what it was, since they already had a ps3.

Edit:  This was at Best Buy.  Though it's a new Best Buy in a weird location that doesn't get much business yet.



Around the Network

I read somewhere that Sony was kind of setting up the marketing push and all to make the Move a slow burner. 



The first thing my dad says when he sees the Move commercial: "They're copying the Wii." And he knows next to nothing about video games. I think many people are going to think the same way, and pass on the Move, since it's already been done 4 years ago.

Now Nintendo is seriously doomed...

I was expecting to see a huge crowd or something. Instead I see a bunch of Halo: Reach posters.



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

I am very excited about Move, and i got my order this morning, but to be honest most people including myself was not going to stand in line and wait until midnight for it nor will they for Kinect, most people picked up their pre-orders in the morning like normal people usually would do.

Move and Kinect are not something to stand in line and wait for in the middle of the night after a long work day for most people, its not Halo or GT5 or better yet COD.
This is just a troll topic nothing more (i did lol at the pic, because it is funny), i would like to see the midnight launch line at gamestop for the Wii motion plus kotaku.

And lets be fair, gamestop decided to do a midnight launch at the last minute, so i doubt the word got out in time.

Not to mention the fact and logic that they had a midnight event because they had enought pre oders to justify it, but yet thoes that pre odered felt that it was best to pick it up in the morning.

When i picked up my charging station at gamestop, the man behind the counter must have taken 4 calls with people asking if they had any, and all he would say is  "if you did not pre order you can only buy one controller and Sports Championship, stocks are limited to one per person," then he would hang up.



Move is a hit among ninjas confirmed.

We sold a lot of our move stock today. I'll get figures from the texlon 2morrow, but i think we sold out completely of move standalone controllers and starter packs, with the charge packs still left in stock

Pretty much the same for the 7 shops of my friend. Though, the stock he received was heavily limited. Not enough to fill the pre-orders lol. I wander if Sony did that in order to create a virtual sold out.
