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?

flawed logic FTW !

I own a Wiimote but not a Wii, but according to your logic Nintendo sold me a Wii and I'm a potential software purchaser too !

Also Move only works if you have a PS3, the Move controller AND the PS Eye.

Counting only the Move controller just doesn't make any sense.

Disappointing sales. It seems you guys are sugar-coating this with "it's day one sales" and "it will have legs". But still, 140,000k is very low for something that had so much hype behind it.

Umm...hype?! Weak advertising. Weak launch software...and you're mentioning hype? Honestly, I don't know what to say.

OT: Not impressive and not disappointing. Can it sustain such sales? That is the question, and it can once some bigger titles/more ambitious projects come into play.

Just more sugercoating. It had a decent advertising campaign and certainly had a lot of hype behind it.They even had midnight openings at gamestop. Here's a picture from one of those events:

Hilarious! This is for something that was suppose to be like a new hardware cycle.

Let's get real here. The low sales are not due to "day one sales" or "bad marketing campaigns", it's due to the fact that nobody wants the Move. They already have a Wii and they are not interested in paying 300 dollars just so they can have Wii Sports Resort with HD graphics.

Lol at the pic. Look out for the Move!

I don't see why anyone could expect the Move to be a success, when the hardware is essentially the same as the Wii, which is 4 years old, and the games are not really anything new. When even the ACTUAL Wii console is currently struggling, surely a Wii immitator won't fare any better.

Kinect will have far more success, at least initially, because it at least has sort of the novelty factor of full motion control. Granted, the Move games look far better than the Kinect games, but like I said they mostly just look like the same old PS3 and Wii games that already exist. If Sony truely wants to break into the expanded audience, they need to reach out to entirely new audiences with new types of games.

I agree with what Brute says.

Still, first week sales expectations are totally lame. It's all about the holiday sell through, man. Totally.

(But yes, holiday sales will be the true test for both Move and Kinect. We'll see what happens.)

i guess this is "good" since there was virtually no advertising for the move. I did see a sign for it at walmart though.

I dunno about you, but I see a Move ad every 5 minutes when I watch TV now.

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.

The N64's analog stick is still analog.  Potentiometers and rotary encoders are both analog.

depends on location? I only saw two...that was during the patriots/bengals game (two weeks ago)

IMO...fail...IMO kinect will do tons better.  I was a skeptic from the begginning when it looked and acted just like a wiimote.  Nintendo done got famous from this like 3 years ago.  Sony arrived too late to this party.  obviously in my opinion

But this is the exception, and you know it.  Not an issue unless you make it one in an attempt to counter a valid argument.

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


Atari 5200 had an analog stick



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
