dont choke on this h ttp://www.engadget.com/2010/11/30/sony-ships-4-1-million-playstation-move-controllers-to-retailers/

ForzaGearsFace

1) Thats from 2010

2) That link isnt even talking about the "9millions CONTROLLERS, not MOVES, but CONTROLLERS" bullsh*t comment you said

That article reall has nothing to do with anything you said?

What, were you hoping I wasnt going look at it?

Again, Awsome spin skills you got there.

ok buddy its 10 million to 8 million like you said, lol, you are some debater. Also yes Sony doesnt count sony move controllers as sales, they just count the bundle right? ok good logic, thanks for exposing my spin.

Wow, some people are just really talented at ignoring facts and pulling bulls*** stats from thin air.

Though I guess its not really a talent.

you realize that your article is older then Spyder's by 1 year right? or do you not care.

Edit:

"For sales, Microsoft reported in March 2011 it has shipped 10 million Kinect units worldwide since launch. It has not provided an update since. U.S. retail tracking firm NPD reported this month that 750,000 Kinects were sold during the week of Black Friday. Sony announced at E3 2011 it has shipped 8.8 million PlayStation Move controllers worldwide since launch, but has not provided an updated sales figure since."

Microsoft has said as of CES that they now have 18 million Kinects on the market. Sony has yet to update what the numbers are for the Move.

you dont even know what we are talking about. CLUELESS

All i see is you bi*tching and moaning about Move's controllers don't match at all or near parity to Kinect's sold. When Kinect itself is a controller.

I didnt say that at all, that was the other guy. I havent thrown any numbers at all. Neither did I say anything about SONY counting sales or bundles or watever bullsh*t you want to say.

Man, the world just keeps on spining

did you run out of things to say?

is the thread over?

we are waiting on you bro, its your turn make the next move. wat spins you got coming?

yes thread is over, you cows have concluded that the 8,8 million Move sales are calculated by something other than controller move sales, that the Move has more than 1 standalone move game that has sold over a million, that Kinect has sold only 10 million compared to 8.8 based on the link, and that Sony really doesnt care about Move cause its not a big deal to get into the casual market. OH YEA....

I didnt even read wat you wrote. And im not really a cow BTW.

But before I go, just wanted to tell you that maybe you should take a break from SW. You know... play some Froza, play a little Gears 3 online, get some more achivements. I know you have been busy worrying about SONY, but why dont you take some time and give your 360 some loving. It must be collecting dust from all the time you have spent worrying about SONY.

Alright bro. Bye

I don't understand why you're so infatuated with the casual crowd. If you're a gamer, You have absolutely nothing to gain from MS if they focus on the Casual. Have you noticed the interesting correlation between the number of good games a system gets, and how heavily they focus on the casual audience? If MS makes the Nextbox literally the Kinectbox I will laugh straight at your face while you praise it as a business success. If MS tries to mimick Nintendo they'll get the hardware sales and the software desolation.

Kinect isn't going to spark a new ccasual craze like the Wii did anyway.. Nintendo already got that pie, and I don't see casuals wanting to buy multiple consoles each generation like core gamers anyway. Casuals are not really in it for the long term, they come and go.. It's just the sheer amount of them that bring in the money.

with Move?

well yeah. A chearleading game where you use batons or pom poms. :) I'm not trying to ridicule and I think it would appeal to the casual demograph.

They'll drop core games and close their studios like MS did and then try to mimic the Wii, just like MS is doing. Heil68
Actually that's a very good idea. UC, KZ and GT can go multiplat. The PS3 will have an even bigger mass appeal overall as it will include both demographs third party publishers/Devs will continue making their games on the PS3 even more since the install base has gotten bigger. see, it's not bad news at all.

Hopefully nothing. Ms went down that road and the result was Kinect.

Move 2.0 with more casual titles, which the fanboys will claim to be well-suited for hardcore while bash Nintendo and MS for doing the same thing.

I think Sony already tried to mimmic with Wii and failed miserably with Move. So that answer is not valid.

This is actually tru...

4 player co-op split screen needs to come back, even better 4 player split screen online, teams of families playing against each other. I see the Ps3 as a single player console experience which is nice and all but when family or friends come around it the Wii that comes out, not because of the controller but because it has the most games that are multiplayer, and all those games dont take themselves too seriously, Their fun and thats it.

I think Sony is actually going to try and go ahead next gen as more of the "big kid" console next gen. They'll market it as the most graphically superior and the most mature games.(By mature i mean games with a mature rating.) They kinda are last in the casual crowd this gen anyway, while I think move games are superior to kinect, kinect seems to be a lot more well known.

Hmmmm, well if we look at Sony's lineup of exclusives they're targetted specifically at the casuals.

None of them are hard to beat. None of them are hard to get into. Some are movie-esque nearly playing themselves at times. Also, lots of them are shooters.

The problem is that they're trying to compete with bigger companies creating better products in that field.
