ooooooh burnnnnnn

THis thread is of epic!

I normally get what pics like that mean, but right now I don't get it, please explain

And yes, this thread is epic!


ok so you get what I meant by burnnnn (before the pic( right?

they are working out...burning fat...hence the use of the word 'burn'

if you didn't get what I meant by Burn in the first place, it's a figure of speech that indicates someone got pwned, to put it simply

It clearly says shipped not sold...This just means 4.1 millon moves have been shipped to the stores WW...not sold to customers WW.

 

Why didn't hey annouce that number??? Probably, because Kinect is doing much better...


I highly doubnt your opinion is right.  i have yet to find a individual Move controller in store for sale.  The second they come in they sale out, quite annoying when a person like me wants to play SC using two move's.


I'm in DC, if you want, I can buy 1 and ship it to you...there are TONS at Best buys in the area.

i also have tons of kinects do you want me to ship them to you but i need your details lol:-d

really this is silly on store in one area != world wide stock

Nope...Kinect standalones got refreshed in my area right before Black Friday, and every Best Buy has standalones...want me to get one of those for you as well?

Yep, I know what "burn" means, of course. But I didn't know that it is used when someone got pwned. Guess I learned something today, lol. Thanks dude

so if you need 4 controllers total, then its slightly attach rate could be 1 mil unique purchasers, with multiple units? Or more common, 2 units per ps3, so 2 mil unique customers?

Just trying to feel out the consumer to sales ratio, to see how big the potential future Move software is.

ioi said before that ratio is more like 1.6 Move per user.

So... 4m shipped... 3.5m sold... ~ 2.2m user base.

Gotcha. How do you buy a 6th of a controller though? Is that like the Move minus the clown nose? Then doesn't that make it a Wii remote? Sony people are buying wii remotes?  =P

For 12 that brought 6 controllers there are 88 that brought just 1 controller.

Make the average.

Understood now?

Does anyone know how many Wiimotes have been shipped WW so far? I'd like to know.

Does anyone know why we are talking about how many Wiimotes being shipped in a PS Move shipment sales thread? I'd like to know.

'Cos everyone and their dog is comparing Move to Kinect in this thread, I'd like to know how they stack up against Wiimotes sold.

MOVE and Kinect can be compared on some level...both are new peripherales launched recently.

Why on earth anyone would wanna compare them to Wiimote sales is beyond me

[start sarcasm] Hey hey lets compare MOVE/KINECT sales to Dualshock 3's and Xbox 360 Controllers while we're at it  [/end sarcasm]



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

Reasonable on 30 November 2010

Given that Sony themselves will never know the true install base for Move and all estimates will be based primarily on trying to guess the average ration of Move controllers to an individual, I can only assume all threads related to shipped numbers (which the original piece seemed to be clearly referring to) will be suitably epic.

All I know is, if they've sold 4.1 to retailers then the basic sell through is either okay or shippments will soon collapse as there is no way retailers will keep taking stock if it isn't selling.  Most likely, based on the fact that despite some stores being stocked sky high others are definately running out it's selling well enough on an on-going basis worldwide although there are also clearly allocation issues at the store level - which are really the retailers fault as normally Sony will deliver to the retailer and the retailer will decide the split to the stores.

What we need now is a true, killer app with a high enough attach rate to shed some light on the potential install base.

Until then, it's all wild guesses all the way.



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

Shipped numbers are what matter the most anyway,in my opinion..
