Another epic fail from the flop squad.

When would you ppl ever learn??

first Uncharted 2 wont break 2m(fail)

then

Heavy rain will FLOP(fail)

then

God of war 3 wont break 3m(fail)

then

PSmove will flop(ANOTHER FAIL)

next???

GT5 will failz to sell (impending FAIL)

keep going tho cause its very entertaining when you guys move the goal post and come up with new excuses.

What's really sfunny about this, it's the same folks making similar predictions each time. Trust me, I have many posts bookmarked just for GT5. They will be revisited if my predictions ring true.

CGI would you like to cr8 the thread for us??? =D

I have a feeling I'll be crucified for it, but perhaps!

Oh and give it a decent name like the "Epic Fail Wall of Shame Predictions List."


If this was facebook I would "Like" this.  Nice one.

Football games are only once or twice a week and Dante's Inferno proved that Football commercials do not equal success.

As for the Pachter comment, he just commented that he in fact underestimated Move's success. You know this of course since it is part of your quote that I posted, so why bring up his previous estimate?

I am confused.

This is for 2010.

Through the first six weeks of the NFL season, “Sunday Night Football” is averaging 21.4 million viewers...

NO. 1 SHOW OF THE WEEK: For the sixth straight week “Sunday Night Football” was the No. 1 regularly-scheduled primetime broadcast of the week by a wide margin among Adults 18-49, the coveted advertiser demographic, as well as among Adults 18-34, Adults 25-54, Men 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54.

  • Through six weeks of the NFL season, “Sunday Night Football” stands as the most-watched primetime show on television, and the No. 1 regularly scheduled primetime show in all key adult and male demos.

And if you look at overall it looks like this

More than 150 million viewers have tuned in for at least part of a game this season, up from 146 million viewers last year. And the average NFL game—including telecasts on CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN—has drawn 18.9 million viewers, more than twice the average viewership of 9.2 million per night on the Big Four broadcast networks during the first two weeks of the new prime-time television season.

The NFL reported that nine telecasts have drawn more than 20 million viewers, compared to only two for prime-time shows this fall.

I don't call that insignificant. Sure, Dante's inferno flopped, but I'd say that is more because it is a stupid game with stupid advertising. Heck, all sorts of e-commerce sites failed despite advertising like crazy in 2000. Anyways, I've also seen Move commercials throughout the week, just mostly football because I don't watch a lot. No amount of advertising guarentees success, but Move has had significant advertising.

As for pachter I was saying why people don't think it has done well. Not everyone saw his change from 300k (which he said after NPD) to a higher number (don't remember what it was) based on the 1m shipped. I've made no claims myself on it's performance other than it must continue to sell at VGC's launch rate or it will be a flop.




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

People never learn.

PlayStation Move is an abject failure

And in other hand Reuters said Move sold more than 1 million for US only.

PlayStation Move Ships More Than 1 Million (UPDATED)

I don't get to watch my Sunday football here in NY thanks to Cablevision and Fox. -__-

Thanks for the info too. I had no idea the ratings for this year bumped up like that. It could just appear small because of Kinect I guess, plus I have yet to see the Coca Cola thing start up.

I remembered seeing in Subway, but that was nothing. I only saw the advert there on the cash register.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Big difference between shipped and sold.


there's barely a difference, since it's hard to find a move controller in stock in many places, so consumer figures are probably around 900K in the americas.

Based on the latest info, I'm guesstimating the following (starting from 2.5 M shipped):

 

 

  • sell through of 65% = 1.625 million units sold
  • allowing for fair number of people buying 2 units I figure 1 million actual install base

 

VG has round 450K SC I believe which means around 45% bought that with the rest playing all the demos, buying something else or using Move with existing titles (RE5:Gold, Heavy Rain, EyePet, etc)
I suspect Eyepet in particular helped, as the Move patch really does make it much better and as an Eyepet owner only needs to go out and buy 1 Move controller it's a bit of a no-brainer.
So for me, the numbers seem more or less sensible from the evidence we have.
I expect Move to sell well enough in terms of units, but Kinect to have the larger install base, at least initially over a comparable period, as it'll be one sale one customer.
I still have no idea if either will take off post holiday season and that's the big trend to watch IMHO.


Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

I can't see Kinect taking off at all. For me it's the wealest motion control solution of the lot. It's great having a controller free motion control solution but if they had done the same thing as Sony and come up with their own remote and nunchuck clones they could aim their motion control solution at both hardcore and casual demographics. It just seems like a very bad idea to have a motion control solution that cannot be used in any kind of shooter, they're alienating the majority of their userbase. :o/



for vgc sales and my new estimation figures go right here to page 1 as i have updated
