I will own a Move if Until Dawn is Move exclusive.

I own one. Wish I didn't, motion gaming just ain't my thing. Bought it for like £80 with Sports Champions, only used it for about 4 hours
Why does it have to be a lie exactly?

Because nobody owns a Move. Where are these 15 million controllers?
I have one, mainly only ever use it for EyePet with my kids though.
I own two. Let's do a poll. Someone make a thread.
Is this really what you are going to go with?
It such a poor and lazy argument.

Great news for Sony, but I'm having a hard time believing Sony caught up to Microsoft already. I know Microsoft is irrelevant in Japan, but hasn't Microsoft been outselling Sony for a long time in the US and they had similar numbers in Europe as well as other parts of the world?
Until Dawn can use a DS3 IIRC. It actually runs on the Killzone engine actually...
No. Sony has been outselling Microsoft in Europe, and additional markets.

Maybe Sony are counting each sale as 7.5m sold.
Me also.. Greatest family fun gaming controller we ever have bought.

Do you own killzone 3? Try it with your move. It can really enhance the experience if you give it a fair shake and get used to it.

I do own Killzone 3. Might wait for my next holiday and start it again with the Move. Is it okay with the Move acopella, or will it be pointless without the Sharpshooter (is that what its called?)
Will Beyond: Two Souls work with a Move?
Great numbers. I own 2 moves plus the navi controller. Table tennis from sports champions is still my fav experience. Have yet to try it with a shooter or the likes of infamous which I've heard is great as well. Isn't sony pretty close to xbox in uk as well..Anybody got the recent numbers? and yes sony recently got permission to sell in china
combine that with their other markets supply chain and they will do 100 million easily, which like someone said earlier is ps1 numbers..so pretty good. So No, not everybody who wants the console already has one.
But were they bundled? Because bundles lol. Are those shipped or sold through? Discounted or full RSP? Do they count one Move, one controller? Do they count PS Eye as a Move? Are they including Kinect in those numbers? Must be Europe that eats all those Move controllers. They must bundle them with each copy of Gran Turismo.

This. I think Germany is more pc-centric than console-centric though.
But yeah, overall, mainland Europe and most of the Easter European countries do have a preference for the playstation brand. Free PSN and gimped Live Gold in countries like mine (Cyprus) is also a big factor in their choice on console.

I own a Move. So do a lot of more people in this thread as they already stated.
Just because you or your friends don't, doesn't mean much.

I'm obviously being a tiny bit sarcastic, but I just don't understand how they've sold so many. I guess just bundling it with everything under the sun.

Hopefully.
Killzone engine? Need to see more of it!Microsoft also reports shipped.

Both are Shipped numbers not that it would make much of a difference either ways.
Brad Grenz
Member
Yeah, they are both shipped numbers so we can fairly compare them directly. The only difference is Sony hit the milestone one month and four days later than MS.

I wonder how much units will they move before the end of the production.
I would say ~90k
They still have a good price drops that can move units.

Next gen starts when Sony says so!
But honestly: Only becuase the WiiU is launching soon, doesn't mean the "counting" is over.
The race for 2nd place will be over when both Sony&MS have released their systems.

Shipment @ 4 nov, should already include all the units for the black friday so the difference between X360 @ 70mil on 30sept and a ps3 around 68-69mil @30sept ( considering we don't know how many ps2 were sold during Q2) should be still the same as before 1.5 to 2.5 million ( maybe more, because of H4 bundle shipped within october)
Microsoft is big only in the US and UK. For the rest of Europe, Japan and Asia, Microsoft is nothing.
With the recent news the Sony will now be able to sell PS3's in China, expect the gap with the 360 to shrink even more.

Fair enough to that, man!
Anecdotally though, I bought mine on its own and not in a bundle.

Never played it with the sharpshooter but it plays more then fine just holding and aiming with the move.
No idea about Beyond: Two Souls though, sorry.

I've got two, plus one nav.
Congrats to Sony on reaching 70m with the most expensive console and coming out a year late. I'm sure many many people never expected this day would happen 5.5 years ago.
And on the Move front, both my brother and I own 2 controllers each, both were bought retail and not in a bundle.

I am also a proud owner of 2 move controller. It is amazing piece of tech for sure. Way above the shovelware Kinect in term of fun
They are count the main move controller, why is that so hard to believe?
Anyway the move sales kinda make the sales of the Kinect look bad because if I am not mistaken Kinect sold only 25 million.
That is some crazy sell-trough rate for Move or some weird math or a missleading headline. I will go for the latter.
Also that "still a hair's breadth ahead" oint is a little bit stretched. They are comparing shipment figures to sales numbers. Of course, PS3 can reach sooner or later the XBOX sales, but the 360 sale won´t really stop in the same time. With other words: Sony can play catching up, the competitors can keep leading.
