But Move is dead, dead, that what the internet told me.


MOVE made almost as much money as Kinect. LOLWUT.  Isn't that exceptional?!


Yes it looks like there were more Move units than Kinect sold, Who predicted that? Noone

Move wouldn't suddenly jump above Kinect in U.S when it's outselling it 5.1

I imagin the Move revenue includes all things move, as with Kinect as well.

Wasn't that according to Wedbush Morgan's Pachter?

Has Sony released their PR yet? Also I expected Move to do better in FEB due to the biggest Move game to date has come out (KZ3).



Just want to play good games

that's just amazing considering move is cheaper. Could be all the extra controllers making sony tons of money.

did the move actually made as much money as kinect in FEB????

Kinect was like 257 million bucks I think, and Move was like 210?  The difference was like 50 million

truuuee..gratz to the MOVE.

This could cement notions of the MOVE selling more to current PS3 core base AND that most of the Kinect are sold via bundles as opposed to standalones.

Black Ops - 13.7 million units

That 5:1 Kinect vs Move article was from back in January.

 

The current numbers could indeed show that Move is picking up momentum now due to the release of Move related titles and price drops for older move related titles such as MAG, Heavy Rain and Resident Evil 5.

This month brings more Move titles like MLB11 The Show, Top Spin 4, Dance on Broadway, Fit in Six, Heroes on the Move and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 12.

 

Move may also pick up in sales because many may actually be getting the $299.99 Killzone 3 bundle and later be compelled to grab a Move setup.

I wonde when we will hear from Sony? With the PS3 doing great you'd expect them to say something.

Theoretically, the KINECT could also increase in the same pace with new software releases, and thus could potentially maintained that ratio.

you failed to congratulate Move. 

you all failed to use your brains.

Who came up with this nonsense that Kinect has made $257m and Move $210m this month ?

$257m for ALL accessories.

The quoted source is comparing Feb 2010 to Feb 2011.

"Total industry sales rose 3% to $1.36 billion, compared to $1.33 billion in February 2010. Sales of video game hardware rose 10% ($467 million vs. $426 million), while software dropped ($601 million vs. $634 million). Video game accessories continued to rise, thanks to Microsoft's Kinect and Sony's PlayStation Move products ($257 million vs. $210 million)."

Here the accessories segment of the most recent NPD report:

"Accessories were the largest-gaining segment in the NPD report, up 22 percent to $256.9 million for the month, continuing a streak of strong accessory performance.

The Xbox 360 points card was the top-selling product in the category, with point cards as a whole up 55 percent compared to last February to represent 22 percent of the accessory market as a whole."

http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/33463/NPD_Results_February_2011_Industry_Up_3_Percent_Black_Ops_Maintains_Top_Spot.php

$56.5m for the MS point cards alone.
