When Sony saw that Kinect had received the same initial spark that the Wii did, they said screw it and left Move out to dry. Its been a year now and there is still very little reason to own it. I wouldn't be surprised if it were discontinued.


not sure if serious, but they have supported much more than any other motion control device on the market since its release.

there are hundreds of Move games, and sony is constantly releasing new ones.

So far this year we already have 4 move games scoring 84 or higher on gamerankings.

im pretty sure Sony is doing an excellent job supporting it

It is.  I think the sale ends the 2nd of Oct.  So, the Move is definitely not being discontinued.  Here's my thread on the topic: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=134173&page=1

Although, I think it would be smart for Sony to at least lower the price of all Move accessories by ~$10-$15 permanently.  This would boost sales quite a bit and probably still make them a good amount of profit.

It would only boost sales slightly and temporarily. Price isn't the problem, people just don't want the Move.

The best games that use Move also use a joystick. The Move required games are mediocre. My guess is Sony will just let it fade into obscurity or maybe create a camera like Kinect that works with it.

PS Move has stolen no ones momentum. Its almost forgotten.


Sony just released a list of about 10 Move titles hitting this holiday (Just Dance 3, Medieval Moves: Deadmund's Quest and EyePet & Friends being the stand outs). Plus Resistance 3 just released and I'm sure that helped a little bit. Having another Kevin Butler commercial that featured the Move.

They are most likely just trying to sell more moves.

Hopefully it's going to be phased out. This whole motion control thing is all but dead. The casual people who made it huge are long, long gone. In another few years the industry will be back in our hands, the hardcore gamers, and imo that's a GOOD thing.


That's a pretty shortsighted thing to say.. Motion is here to stay, just like the joystick, trigger buttons, and vibration. It's a natural progression of the gaming controller. That's not to say every game/genre works better with it, but some definitly do, and the ones that do will obviously continue to use it.

If you want the industry back in the "hands of the hardcore," you're basically saying you want the market of gaming confined to a small niche and to never expand. Not exactly a good thing to me. Besides, the tastes of the self proclaimed "hardcore," for my money, tends to be very poor. They like games that rely heavilly on cinematics and linear gameplay and complex control schemes. They also usually go for the same bland FPSs and RPGs. Bleh.. Not the direction gaming should go.

on one hand i agree with this but on the other hand i hope not.

Sony isn't making move more known! move isn't dedicated hardware and it needs to be catered to wht Sony initially set out for the device.

(looks at the amount of Move compatible games coming) yeah um no its not going anywhere. I dont get the hate for Move, when Motion+ wasnt putting out nothing and i mean nothing, no one asked if it was being shelved. How much games have been released for Kinect this year?4, 5? Is it being shelved? Move has had more support and is getting more support than any of the other addons i mentioned, FACT. Bioshock Infinite, one of the biggest games on next year is getting Move support for god's sake



saicho on 23 September 2011

it's not discontinued... obviously a Move redesign is coming out soon



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.
