How Bad Are PS3 Move Sales?

ConceivablyTech: We could not verify this information and, needless to say, Sony declined to comment. But we do wonder how bad Move sales really were. Had they been as successful as anticipated, there would have a great opportunity to drum up the excitement for the technology. It seems that Move could be a flop.

change the headline pls:

how good do we think the the move sales are ? (who are we....we the best, thats who)
how nice are the ps3 sales?
what are the moves sales numbers? (i must know, because porn no longer makes me hard, ps3 success numbers and when they win graphical comparisons is my new wanking material)
let take a look at the sales figures (cant have that one, it would be a duplicated article then)

why use the word bad?

Genesis55366d ago

You know it's doing better than the competition hoped it would when the smear campaigns start.

ImpartialMan5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

the author is retarded.

Patcher is a great analysts but doesnt mean he is right always...

His goal is to get QUOTED as much as possible whether he is right or wrong. that means making bold statements and sometimes it does not even involve analyzing..

He even said his goal was "get quoted as much as possible" on his patch attack show
cause it helps his CAREER for any publicity. and by the time he is found wrong, who cares?? he got the publicity he wanted already.

on the side note, i still cant find a nav controller. so sony def sold more than they anticipated.

rroded5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

n got the nav n res evil gold a few days after

great toy no doubt its selling well all over imo

This whole sony cares about ndp numbers seems pretty stupid n totally unfounded. Same with all these omg the moves not selling. Feels more like a ms orchestrated smear campaign than anything real...

Fact is we know it sold 1.1 mil in Europe alone already. I'd be surprised if it was less than 3 mil worldwide. The white elephant here is can kinect hope to do as well?

morganfell5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

TheBlackSmoke5364d ago

Its funny how when M$ proclaimed 3 million will be sold this year the M$ employees were jumping up and down about how much of an unfathomable dominance that would mean for 360.

Fast forward to move with 2 million sold before the holidays and not even out in Japan, and hey you guessed it "MOVE HAZ BOMBED LOLZ". Silly fanboys, at least stay consistent when you are making shit up.

HolyOrangeCows5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

"Only" about 2 million!? How horrible!!
/s

1.8+ million in a month isn't a "flop" or "bad" no matter how much you try to twist it.

ExplosionSauce5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

The way you word it may change one's perspective over the subject.

@seann
I agree. And sales are decent for what it is. It's really not bad.
About 2 mil in one month? That's pretty good.

prunchess5364d ago

My kids are going mad for me to get them for xmas. I'd say the Move sales are pretty good this close to xmas.

As for this article - well, we've all been seeing this kind of coverage coming out from the US since 2006 about anything Sony related. Now in 2010 we can all see that these articles and predictions are just worthless fanboy bait.

ShinMaster5364d ago

Maybe it's because 360 doesn't have that many interesting articles?
No one is purposely keeping 360 articles from being on the headlines.

Boody-Bandit5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

Priceless

On topic:
2 million sold in one month is fantastic no matter how it's spun!
When Move launches in Japan expect the numbers to increase exponentially. That is the one thing "some" people fail to realize. Sony does well in all regions.

jony_dols5364d ago

@MorgenFell:

Holy Sh1t, i didn't realize how bad Kinect was until i watched that video.
Compare that tech video, to umm lets say the Killzone 3 Move demo.......

Comparisons shouldn't even be made, because it's an insult to Move.

Zeevious5364d ago

I have tried Move because I own it.
True 1 to 1 tracking and most of the games I played put it to good use.

I've only tried Kinect in pre-release form, and experienced the components by both Primesense, and 3DV hardware years earlier (great match!) so I can't speak to the release model, but how is exactly 4 weeks 2 days and 2 million in Move sales bad?

I'll wait till I have the release hardware and software for Kinect to compare, but even the industry & press doesn't seem to have that yet!

edgeofblade5364d ago

There is no "smear campaign". Once again, another delusion in the mind of desperate fanboys.

The bare bones truth of the situation is this: Move is a great technology. But it has it's significant flaws that make it not quite ready for primetime... or even, too late on the scene.

1. Nintendo did this all before, poorly I'll admit, but it's no longer "new". Had Sony beat them to the punch with Move, Sony would have clobbered Nintendo and gone on to even better success than Nintendo enjoyed. But that didn't happen and isn't happening.

2. Move doesn't demo well without a booth attendant. You can put a circle mat on the ground and a camera on the TV, but most people I've seen try to demo the Move don't understand that they have to be in the field of view of the camera and... perhaps more damning... no one realizes you have to recalibrate to the user when you hand the control to someone else in the middle of the game.

No one, least of all the N4G fanboy corps, wants to understand why their darling Move is tanking. It's tanking because, as Nintendo figured out, you need to "keep it simple stupid".

Walk up and watch someone try to demo Move. Tell me the problem isn't right there.

Zeevious5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

It's a classic marketing strategy. Send 100 of a product out of the 1000 you actually have to manufacture a headline "Selling out fast" so people will buy it. Is the Kinect or the Move sellout manufactured or real? Probably a bit of both...so what. That's pretty standard 'hype' marketing for a new product.

Your second point makes no sense at all for one simple reason. BOTH USE CAMERA'S - Your complaint that without a booth attendant people don't use Move well is just not thought through. That's what a booth is for...so an attendant, or demo will show you how to use the NEW TECHNOLOGY you never used before seeing it at the booth. In both cases the software will instruct you how to use the equipment if no one is there.

The more important point you claim about people being out of the field of vision...Excuse me...did you notice the handy IR camera on Kinect? -- And don't they BOTH need calibration to the user - Setup for both calibrates to the space, background and user. That's not an exclusive issue for Move as you seem to state it.

Why are you criticizing Move for "it's significant flaws that make it not quite ready for primetime" referring to the camera field of play...but all Kinect has is that camera view.

How exactly does Move's camera turn into a significant flaw...but Kinect's camera's which would, by your own statement have those same flaws..not have them?

Statement 2 applies to both...or none at all. To be a valid argument -- Claiming this makes the product not ready for primetime and a significant fault is FOR BOTH devices...

Suggesting people don't understand something as simple as a camera's field of vision is laughable. Ever heard of a digital camera before? EVERYONE knowns to stand in the frame. and it's shown RIGHT ON THE SCREEN to assist you.

For all your talking about fanbrats here, you really should try being a little less biased and attacking Move with the same arguments that apply to both motion systems. Using an argument that's also it's own counter argument is simply, completely stupid.

I for one will wait to compare them side by side like everyone else -- in the field of vision of their camera's and just enjoy the games.

BWS19825364d ago

I recall you as a bit biased, so I'll take your perspective with a handful of grains of salt, but when the hell did your post include a backing of "tanking" when the thing sold nearly 2 million globally in a month? Numerically, you can't back "tanked" up, although you can put forth a meager attempt to subjectively stretch the definition to "2 mil in a month? Pfftt. fail"...

You're just a little too comfortable with your predestined "fail label" on Sony's machine. Keep printing them off though.

To you, it seems, hot cakes tanked too.

@edge of blade

evey game wstore i see demoing move simply has the guys say follow the on scren cues to set it up andc steps back... everyone i showed it to privatly has commented on how intuitive the control system is

everyone i introduced it to has either said ok i want to get a ps3 for xmas or if they already had one gone out and bought move... i didnt think it would be that good 10 minites at a demo in the trafford center made me pony up

3 events down in gold cup im a very happy cutomer (sore but happy)

is having a camera a flaw not really the wii requires you to be in the 40degree sensor field
is that a flaw.

Zeevious5363d ago

for Move only!

The same people saying that forget Kinect is ALL camera!

Why would one motion system with a camera, just because it uses a camera with a wide-angle field of vision have "significant flaws" while another motion system with a camera doesn't get a mention?

Those same 'flaws' are present in both, or nonexistant.

I'd say people knowing they have to actually be SEEN by the camera...any camera is pretty basic knowledge...making the 'flaws' of no significance whatsoever.

Why don't people just wait a couple weeks and try it for themselves.
I've played the demo's of both, and the release version of Move is impressive. I'm hoping so is Kinect, and we can all know for ourselves -- Just remember for those not smart enough to know, any camera has to actually see you to actually work...Right Edgeofblade?

You do own "stock". It's called a platform mediated market. You buy the console and accessories, like the Move and Kinect, and hope that the market supports the platform with more software.

It's not that hard to understand.

acedoh5364d ago

comments with the PS3 a few months after launch. Even well know industry people anticipating a quick demise to the PS3... We all know some in the media want SONY to fail and Microsoft to win. It's not going to happen and the Move is catching momentum and will continue to do so and more buy it and see how accurate it is.

edgeofblade5364d ago

Go to Best Buy and watch someone demo it. They ALL treat it like a Wii. They don't know they have to stand where the camera can see them. They don't understand that calibration is VERY important to this tech.

Granted, when it works, it works great. But when it's not being demoed by a booth attendant at a trade show with tech savvy people who have the slightest clue how shit works... and instead being demoed by the average dingbat without any assistance... you have a recipe for failure after failure.

I'll stand by my original prediction that Move is the better accessory for hardcore gamers like us due to that accuracy, but with what I've seen, Move will NEVER gain the mainstream acceptance that will ultimately make Move a true success.

vhero5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

1.5+ millions worldwide (nobody knows real numbers) in less than a month for a completely new experience isn't bad. Compare that to how many wiis were sold as the move basically makes your PS3 the wii HD. I think we have a winner. It sold more than any console and that's good. If it continues to sell 350k a week it will be a success.

tinybigman5364d ago

hoops5366d ago (Edited 5366d ago )

It's the same thing for all the SOny fanboys wanting Kinect to fail.
In otherwords, none of them are gamers. They are haters.
The only people who should care if MOVE fails is Nintendo and MS.
The only people who should care if Kinect fails is Nintendo and SOny.
In reality only The competition should care. None of us here are paid by Sony or MS or Nintendo to care about sales.
Personally I want all of them to do well. Competition drives the marletplace. Fanboys do not get this. Then again most of the fanboys on this site are 12 years old still in grade school and have zero business concept

AceofStaves5366d ago

Competition is excellent for the marketplace, yes. Having 3 strong entries into the console market, each offering different experiences, is a great thing for consumers.

I, for one, don't understand the 'console warrior' mentality. Regardless of what the manufacturer's sell in a given month, I enjoy my games.

niceguywii605366d ago

What are you talking about? Less than 2 million in almost a month for new hardware with a lineup of games supposedly competing against the Wii and Kinect in the popular motion market is a disaster. Kinect will sell well over that worldwide the first day.

AceofStaves5366d ago

And you know this how, exactly? With nothing factual to back it up, you're just expressing what you wish would happen. Wishes aren't facts, by the way.

Wait and see what Kinect actually sells before spouting off and pulling figures out of your backside. If you can.

Boody-Bandit5364d ago (Edited 5364d ago )

Now selling 2 million in a month of an add on device, one that has yet to be released in Japan, is a "disaster". That has got to be a new low for grasping at straws.

I can't help but just roll my eyes at the things people write on this site. "We" are the reason the industry, especially the media side of it, has turned to shit.

sigh ignorance is rampant here. as sony and nintendo have already shown even with the motion control era at full steam, you can still have great games with regular style controllers. for example you can still play the new super mario bros old school style, you can still play first person shooters old school style or now with motion controllers. maybe you should give it a try instead of trying to be mr elite cool guy i dont want to look stupid playing my call of duty. embrace options shunning them off will be what kills video games

PlayStation Move Controller Used to Perform Surgery on a Pig That Was 5,780 Miles Away

Why the PlayStation Move Failed

Sony's PlayStation Move may not have been able to contend with Nintendo's Wii, but it paved the way for PlayStation VR's success story.

SullysCigar1381d ago

I use them most days and have for years 🤷🏻‍♂️

They're definitely way past a needed update, but I've got a tonne of fun out of them, so they haven't failed me.

bouzebbal1380d ago

The best motion control platform it's so intuitive.. Died due to lack of support from Sony.. It had some amazing games

thorstein1381d ago

They are used constantly for PSVR games. So, no they haven't failed. Neither has PSVR (or VR in general.)

Bigman4k1381d ago (Edited 1381d ago )

The article was talking about why it ps move failed before psvr came along

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago

It failed because it sucked plain and simple.

LOGICWINS1381d ago

I feel that's a bit harsh. To this day, playing Killzone 3's campaign with PS Move/Sharpshooter gun combo is the most fun/immersive experience I've ever had with an FPS.

I think Move was simply not as profitable as Sony wanted it to be, but it didn't "suck".

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH1381d ago

It most definitely sucked. You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible. The entire motion control fad was a waste of resources and time. Ever single motion controller besides the Wii failed and is no longer being used today in gaming. It's ok to admit it...

Minute Man 7211381d ago

@SPEAK

The Move was better that the Wii mote. If the Wii was anywhere accurate as the Move was you could say the Wii was better. Sure it sold boatloads but was it really played consistently??

yeahokwhatever1381d ago

I played it in 3D with the move gun on a 100 inch projector and it BLEW MY MIND. I was exhausted, but i finished the campaign standing there.

Where even a fast click of my fingers could get an immediate in game response.

It feels trash because we have been shown or lived with bad versions of gesture based tech. Think Minority Report fast. That could be something.

''You people can act like it was something special all you want but it was horrible.''

No one is acting like it was special, I said it could be amazing.

You just described every AAA PSVR game. And even the indies have incredible integration. No Man's Sky VR is insanely good.

Silly gameAr1381d ago

And, you can act like it was horrible, but I had a blast with my Move. I had the whole collection of House of the Dead, Dead Space Extraction, and RE Darkside Cronicles, The Fight, and Socom 4, and I would play the hell out of those games I even beat a playthrough of the Resistance 3 campaign with the Move. Getting drunk and playing with friends was a freaking blast.

You can pretend that you had a move and played it all you want SPeak the Truth, but it was accurate, and usually on point. I hate when people act like they've played something just to trash it, when they really just have a vendetta, and think the Move is easy prey for your hate.

PSVR LITERALLY uses the Move controllers. Now it's just obvious you have no idea what you're talking about. You're saying Move failed and nobody uses it anymore when it's an integral part of PSVR and is still being used in 2021.

It didn't suck. It worked but the games just weren't there, that's why it failed.

The move was excellent it was 1 to 1 precise time crisis was a joy to play aswell as sports champions it didn't hit mainstream as it was an addon unlike Nintendo wiimote

Lack of games that proved the concept that 3rd parties could then copy en masse?

I wish that someone would have made a proper boxing game. I still have a blast with the Sports Champions boxing, but to have a boxing game that was more in-depth would have been awesome.

Try Creed for PSVR, it's brilliant

Because it was a uninspired ripoff of the Wii controller without the Nintendo library to back it and didn't try to put any real effort into development such as getting their top developers to make games for it and instead gave tech demos disguised as games to their least talented developers so the best can focus on single player only games.

Except the Move was an idea roughly implemented in the PS2. Yes, I'm serious.
Just search on youtube: PlayStation 2 - Motion Controller (2004)

Nonetheless, just like the whole Wii, it was more of a gimmick than a proper input evolution in games.

Exactly. Its funny time and time again sony is the first innovate. Often at its own peril. Like your example the move started on ps2 taken advantage of by nintendo. Sony buys gakai for game streaming only for other companies to overtake them.

Are you talking about the gametrak on os2 which used strings to track your hand position I used to have this and a gold game it was awesome but the game itself sucked if it had integration with tiger woods or something it would be way better the tracking was excellent even back then as it wasn't using guesswork.
However the game was very forgiving and no way to turn it harder and no licensed players or courses hurt it.

99% of the Wii's games were "shovelware", in fact, I think thats what started that phrase..

EvertonFC1381d ago

Socom, killzone, resistance and tiger wood 14 were great with the move but agree lacked more games.

There were plenty of games and I'm glad that not every game became a Move game.
