Sony Very Happy With Move's Retail Performance
See Full ImageI was a little leery; maybe even downright suspicious. And I wasn't the only one. But hey, we can admit that - for the time being, anyway - we were wrong.
PlayStation Move appears to be doing very, very well on sales charts in North America and Europe. While the NPD doesn't report exact sales numbers anymore, Sony has been pleased with their September performance, and they specifically mentioned their freshly released motion sensing technology. No US numbers but SCEE boss Andrew House told Industry Gamers that Move had "moved" 1.5 million units in Europe already! And here's SCEA Sr. Director of Corporate Communications Patrick Seybold's statement:
"There's no question we're experiencing incredible momentum behind the PS3 this year and this holiday is already stacking up to be another great season of innovation and family fun for consumers. PlayStation Move is performing extremely well at retail and we'll have plenty of new games coming to keep consumers busy this holiday from our first party studios and publishing partners, such as SingStar Dance, The Fight, and Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11."
"With a growing array of content options on PlayStation Network, including today's announcement that Netflix will be natively accesible on all PS3s, we are confident that the PS3 will be the console of choice for many families this holiday and beyond."
At last check, Move had already crossed the 300,000 sales mark in the US and if that number has reached 500,000 since then, total Move sales have topped 2 million in about 1 month's time...and it hasn't even launched in Japan yet. Well, gee...guess it's pretty popular right now, huh?

Although the hand cramping would have been less frequent 6 years ago.

Honestly, it's just the price tag. Some day I'll have 4 for playing with the wife, brother-in-law, and cousin-in-law. Right now we're sticking to CoD, ModNation, and Trivial Pursuit for our 4 player split-screen action.

Sony itself is pretty popular right now too. Netflix App. Free movie weekends. GoogleTV. I just read an article stating Sony and Google jointly backing emmision goals in the EU on GreenPeace. That is a good way for any company to position itself in the global market. It seems that this partnership is beginning to show more substance.
