I wonder what Motion Plus sold first week?

That's just ridiculous. Inception really flopped, because look at how much Toy Story 3 has grossed.

I believe Move is more of the competition to the WM plus, than Inception is to Toy Story....

 

After all, move is sont's desparete "move"  to counter attack nintendo's succes with the Wiimote.

And WSR is the sequel to the best selling game of all time, sure the comparison is fair!

Er, Motion Plus launched like a month before WSR iirc.  Except in Japan.

WSR is still the greatest killer app any peripheral like that can have, Move doesn't have anything that can make a straight forward comparison fair imo.

Why did you cut off his second sentence?  Why not respond to that one.

2 friends came over friday night and ended up deciding to buy Move saturday. This is only from Sports Champions also. This stuffs going to be so hard to track, anyway, im just going to wait for NPD wait a few months before i decide.

But id say Starting off at this level 140k WW sans japan in september with no real distinctive software at the price point its at is pretty solid.

Sony could not send much PS Move units to market because some sites are reporting "sold out".

I'm suprised by the sales. Actually, why are people buying one now?

I personally surely will buy one but I'm waiting for the right game. I know Ninokuni will use it, but perhaps we'll see a great game before.

I think people need to stop getting insulted when people say, "SONY has copied this"

IMO SONY are very good at refinement

they copy and improve, tune and make products that I like more in the end (except PSP).....so I don't see how its bad.

It's true.  PlayStation was a better follow up to SFC/SNES than N64 was, and the market let them know that.

Depends N64 brought analog stick and rumble pack.

but then SONY made a dual analog controller and added rumble INto their controllers

again Nintendo innovated and IMO SONY refined it and made a better product of it in the end. Dual analog was amazing and integrating rumble into a controller was too

Well, if you want to get technical, the N64's stick was digital, while Sony's was true analog.  Also, Sony released rumble the same month Nintendo released the Rumble Pak in Japan.

has done 185K Units  WW excluding Japan

Uh, yea, this.  Why are we creating an artificial handicap for the Move?  Move controllers (which includes the Nav) should be counted as one unit.  What's with this, "Well, we're only going to estimate unique users to the Move and that will be the official units sold"?  First of all, VGChartz has never done this, so why is it doing it now?  Second, that is entirely too difficult to even begin to estimate.  I mean we don't even have any hard numbers on how many PSEyes are out there.  So like Serious said, the real number of Move units sold is 185K.  Not unless of course we're going to take away units sold from Kinect cause some people already have MS's 360 webcam.

And to all the Wii supporters, the Wii is number one and will stay there.  So take a deep breath and calm down.  Nothing its going to truly dominate Wii's lifetime sales, so there's no point in getting mad whenever the competition comes out with something similar to Nintendo.  You guys are number one, so why are you so upset?

You just didn't like where it was going Carl... ;)


I wanted to hear the reasoning behind his comments, which I am allowed to do.  So please, keep it movin'.



I must say that this is fairly unimpressive but about what I was expecting. I always expected PS move and Kinect to sell in a similar fashion to games like Guitar Hero; and 5 to 10 million units for a game is very impressive, it ends up being a pretty large failure for a piece of hardware that is supposed to be a gaming platform (or platform extension).



Well it sold better than expected for some and it will never sell better than expected for others and besides this there are also people who believe it sold as expected. Don't trust these people, they think for themselves.



Tease.

I didn't like how it started... Nevermind where it was going.

As I said. It's silly, pointless and unneeded. We don't even have the final data in yet...
