Which includes every sold Move controller (also ones bought as a second or third controller) plus the optional Navigation controller, so don't be surprised if the Move install base is only half of 15m.

Fact is MS got a lot of casual fans due to Kinect which would've never bought the 360 otherwise. Where they came from is impossible to say (unless you make a survey), but some of them definitely came from the Wii userbase, others from "nowhere".

Please note that I'm not saying that Move didn't bring casuals to the PS3.

Why does it matter if it includes both the Navigation controller and the Move controller? From a business standpoint it doesn't matter. They have sold 15 million units of the Move.

No the Navigation controller is not the Move, just like the PSEye is not a PS3, so it certainly didn't sell 15m units. Pretty hilarious actually how Sony tries to make the numbers look better. If the PSEye weren't already released they'd have surely included them too. It's not like the true numbers are bad though.

Then we were talking about how many casuals moved from the Wii to other systems. It's clear that Move, even if it was the only reason for casuals to get a PS3, would not account for 15m of these conversions, because there are people (quite a lot actually) who bought a second Move controller. Therefore using the 15m number in this context when the maximum of possible conversions is about half that number is not a good idea.

Also a nice article to read through (albeit a bit outdated now)

Anyway enough off-topic talk.

OT: Every studio has several unnanounced IPs and certainly not all of them will ever see the light of day.



Interested in the FACTS of what the neXbox will be able to do (tech specs, interfaces, etc) and then want to see these IP's take advantage of said features in gameplay. It won't be until that moment that my excitement for it can potentially kick in.

PS4 too, but I'm just not expecting an announcement as early as it will be to show us gameplay that impresses, but we'll see.

I always said if Microsoft focused more on new and unique IPs like Sony does instead of wasting their time with Kinect so much, they would have won this gen.

Not even close. Kinect did more for 360 sales than Modnation Racers, PSASBR, MAG, Demon's Souls and InFamous did for PS3 combined. You could probably also throw LBP or Motorstorm in there.

Could throw in move with there too probably . This late new IPs do jack shit for console sales, at the start, maybe, but the price is the most vital aspect that makes or breaks consoles sales, as is evident in the case of lately released hardware, most of which barely scrapes by until pricecuts hit, which I think will be the case for both new Xbox and ps, no matter how strong the console is. People that do buy stuff like this are a minority, and everyone seems to keep forgetting that the west are tightening their belts on spending right now, buying a next gen console they would see a unnecessary when the old ones are still supported would be unnecessary spending.

 

And those who are actually worried about any new IPs seem to be the large majority of ps3 fans, had 360 for 5 years now and never really complained about it, as the third party support is outstanding as it is.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Saw this over on NeoGaf

Microsoft Studios has a number of successful core franchises: Halo, Fable, Forza Motorsport, and Gears of War. Our job is to add new blood to this stable of AAA franchises.

There are some different projects floating around:

New effort to create a franchise that blends the best elements of games and TV/film. Maybe related to their LA Studio, who is also kind of scouting for the same thing.
The Core Games Publishing team’s charter is to partner with the best developers in the world to create the next great core franchises for this generation and future generations of Xbox. Makes me think that they are not only looking at US or Canada based developers, but also Europe. Crytek's Ryse could also fit here.
They are looking for a Senior Producer to drive the future of gaming through a hybrid of AAA core games and service-based experiences, technology, and business model.
They are looking for a producer to work with Epic. Either could be the next Gears or new IP.
They were looking for Design Director with proven creative and leadership ability to work with external developers on Microsoft’s core titles, including shooters, RPGs, action/adventure, etc.



Here is another:

"BigPark is also reportedly working on a AAA title at the moment (developers of Joy Ride). I assumed they were working on a crappy motion control-based game, but it's supposedly going to be a big new IP for Microsoft. I don't think we'll hear about it until next year, though. (If anyone's wondering, I heard this from a friend of someone who did a co-op work term there"
