Sony: Move Has Shipped 8.3 Million
The PlayStation Move still lacks a definite killer app, although shooter fans say the Sharpshooter accessory is pretty damn nifty.
During a GDC Online keynote address focusing on the PlayStation Move, SCEA developer support engineer Gabe Ahn confirmed that Move has shipped more than 8.3 million units worldwide. Sony also added that 80 games currently on store shelves boast Move support, and that number will unsurprisingly expand. The company also wanted to reinforce the diversity of such games; they range from EyePet to Killzone 3 and just about everything in between.
Ahn lastly wanted the audience to know that Move is not only diverse, but it also seems to work very well for most any control application. We've found it to be a little touchy but then again, that's part of the extreme sensitivity and accuracy of the device. We're still looking forward to games like Sorcery, which might entice a new wave of interested gamers.

I also enjoyed Tumbler quite a bit, and am having fun with LittleBigPlanet 2's new Move functionality.
Haven't tried the SharpShooter yet, so can't comment on that.
Looking forward to Medieval Moves - the next game from the guys who made Sports Champions

I love the table tennis and boche personally. Cracking party game (alongside Singstar and Buzz TV).
Killzone 3 was good with the move. Heavy Rain not so much for some reason. I was more comfortable with the controller.
Want to pick up Child of Eden but that is about it for the Move in my household.

Does anyone have an idea? Either way this is still pretty good.
Although I'll be quite honest, besides using it occasionally shooter games...I think I shall stick with the wonderful DualShock controller.

Maybe they just haven't gotten that far along in development so we'll hopefully hear more about it next year...

.......YEAH, THIS GUY"
Well, even while being the oldest PSXEextreme'r here, I was one of the very few that was 100+% all for Sony's motion sensor on the very, very, 1st day it was even first announced(and still was as un-named as _______ is to this very day) when I had first christened it as a "Sonymote"(Ha, I may be a bit biased but I'm STILL liking my original name better, LOL).
Now, I haven't had the chance to sit down & spend a whole marathon's worth of time lately like I really want to by trying out every single "Move-only" game demo's that's out so far, but I "HAVE" already D/L'ed every single one of them & they're all lined up in my XMB's games list, just a-sitting & a-waiting me to try them all out.
And even though I haven't played anything Move-wise at all yet, I have whole-heartedly supported the Move by buying the whole 320GB Move bundled PS3 slim(as pictured above), a 2nd set of Move & Nav controllers, the game's, Eyepet, Playstation Heroes, The Fight:Lights Out, Start The Party, The Shoot, & TV Superstars, and the Sharpshooter gun too.
(FYI, I not only needed them for my collection, I actually "wanted" them too, so I made sure I bought everything "brand spanking new" in order to help support Sony's Move program and any upcoming Move R&D.)
And besides that, I've even helped the aftermarket company's keep the Move alive too, by buying Nyko's SkillShot assault rifle, numerous other guns & pistols, charger set-ups, and various other Move-able related do-dads & trinkets(Ah yes....Hong Kong's gaming economy has been on a first-name basis with my wallet for quite some time now).
Oh, and I'm still eagerly(and quite impatiently) awaiting the release launch for the aftermarket Move Flex-Fire too.

80 games is a lot, but I wish there was better integration in a lot of the games. Sports Champions is still the best one I own in terms of functionality imo. As of now, my psmoves haven't been used for a long time. Then again, I've always really been playing GT.
