Again. What you talking about? The article said the same thing I said in the opening of this thread... so why am I a brick wall?

YEH PATCHER!

The guy who said PSMOVE sold well below expectations then takes that statement back after a few days.......such a great analysist.

Who is Patcher?



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

He's just not taking Pachter's word and that's basically all you have provided is a Pachter guess, which for better or for worse doesn't really count for squat around here.

Yeah. Like he said that Move sold 400k units in the US in its first six weeks.

If you don't write better people will misinterpret what you mean.

Remove the "my" and add an "e" to "dad."

That's about right.

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

First of all, 0.6 is not a 6th. Secondly, do you get it that this is an average? Let's make a simple example:
Let's say, PS Move sales: 1.6m, unique users: 1.0m -----------> 1.6 Move per user. Come on, it's simple...

Btw, this thread is hilarious, some funny and ridiculous posts in here.

OT: Great sales! Probably did more than some people expected. And yes, it's shipped, not sold, but Sony isn't claiming that these are sold, so...


ooooooh burnnnnnn

THis thread is of epic!


burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrning

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.


They will know by the Eye selling (at least a much better estimation, using shipped and ordered numbers)
