Forums - Sony - 60% of prospective Move owners Nintendo converts?

As some previous posters, I would say that IF the 60% number is correct, it is mostly people who own both Wii and PS3, enjoy their Wii and so consider buying also Move for their PS3... If I had a PS3, I would probably also get Move - but that wouldn't mean abandoning the Wii...

Here it is again! It's taken a while because no one has done any recent research, but finally "these are statistics that I don't want to believe so they must be garbage" posts!

Even though the OP said it was from a very reliable source that usually is spot on with their studies.

But OP, why does it have to be "unhappy Nintendo fans"? Maybe they just want to play some PS3 games, and they obviously like motion controls. I mean....things like Sports Champions are obviously a carbon copy of Wii Sports, but Eye Pet, Kung Fu Rider, etc aren't on the Wii, and maybe they want to try motion controls for those games? (And don't try and bring up metascores. Just Dance sold millions). Not to mention "core" games with Move compatibility now.

I mean, I wasn't an "unhappy Sony fan" when I bought a 360. I just saw that there were other experiences that aren't on the PS3 that I may enjoy. Same can be said for people with Wiis buying Move.



well if i buy a PS3 it is going to be for the gardien and not the move :P

its been confirmed today that GT5 has a weather system, track editor and go karts! seriously i think this is going to be the best selling in the series even beating GT3 sales of 14 million plus!

To answer your questions, they probably waited for something else than "Mario" and "Kirby" and all the rest of the popular Nintendo IPs. Personally, I can't wait to see some Sony IPs use the motion control technology too (Killzone 3 mostly). I own a Wii as well by the way.

Honest answer from a gamer.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

You obviously don't know how random sampling works. Any sample with over 2,000 results is understood as pretty damned accurate.

Or do you believe presidential election polls are all 95% false? Because about 2,000 is all they use for those for most polls, and this accounts for 150M people, and within a -/ 2% margin of error, they're spot on....

So everyone that owns a Wii is a nintendo fan? Way to generalize...

Yeah. I know many people who bought the Wii out of hate for Nintendo.


Rather they bought the wii cause it might be fun. Wasn't the point of the blue ocean to get people who weren't gamers into playing games? These people might be wii fans, but they aren't necessarily nintendo fans. At the very least they are way less invested emotionally in nintendo than we are for our favorite game company.

Some of these new gamers might be disappointed recently with wii games so they decide to find something else that fills their new needs. Oh look, the PS3 has these new controls that are the same kind as the Wii, maybe ill go get that.

And how do they come to such number?

They certainly didn't ask me, LOL.


I'm guessing it involves little slips of paper with high numbers written on them and a hat.



  Ok, So why move games are selling so little? are the 60% of the wii userbase or around 40 million,  waiting in line to buy wiisports hd, wiiparty hd, justdance hd?... How many wii owners also own another console, maybe half of them or maybe more... My wii is not collecting dust as many have said, I actually only own a Wii and DS, I dont have enough time to play a lot of games, so I am sticking to my consoles and so a lot of people do... Move is not going to be succesfull jus for selling 20 millions moves, but if it can lift software and hardware as wii is being doing since launch....

"people planning to or probubly buying"

I'll say even more.... 95% of playstation owners have played nintendo games in the past!!

even worse, 100% of playstation owners had heard of nintendo before buying the move!!

and the critical stat:

110% of sony's PR statements are retarded!!!!!!!
