SONY have shipped 2.5 Million controllers TO RETAILERs....that is what SONY means when they say "We have sold....."

therefore Retailers have PAID for all those Move Controllers and SONY has got the money for them.

I meant to say do you think the move sold enough to break even?



Retailer's problem now, basically.  Oh, where to put these surplus Move controllers?!  Because the games sales show this.

Good for Sony though, for now at least.

How did you mean to say that? Your question was completely different

anyway we'll NEVER know how much MOVE cost to develop, from the navigation controller and the Wand

Its hard to say

But 2.5 Million shipped is  A LOT of money for SONY....

As I'm an optimistic dog I'll say they have made profit, I can't see MOVE dev costs to be that much

When I read the comment: meh sony made a profit off of 2.5 million I thought it meant they broke even.

B.b.bu.but the Move blundle was sold out almost everywhere.

Only this week the stock started to be replaced... now everywhere now have Move on stock (except sites that deliver to Brazil).



well it is the holidays right around the corner.  it makes sense that they shipped some extra already.

Many people quote the game sales as proof that sony is overstuffing the channels.. Did anyone concider that many people who got the controller already has games that support them and might not have enough money to buy a bunch of new games.. or even any new games for it ? ..

 

Afterall, with all these units shipped and with the problems finding them at retail.. Where would you proclaim the missing units are ? I heavily doubt that retailers are hiding the controllers.. :p

Though the bundles are available most places.. So they might have shipped more bundles than necessary compared to standalone controllers..
