Sony: Move ships 4.1 million units worldwide

Christ almighty. Consider this fixed.

Fucking nora.

@51 On here, they won’t stop until theres blood

I’m so going to bed.

@51
Whats Nora done to deserve that outburst. She’s probably crying over he mug of Ovaltine now..

You’d think that they could’ve written that in the press release.

@45 “It would be interesting to see which gadget is the easier and more cost-effective to develop for, and how that will impact developers.”

It’s easy to note that Kinect is already a dumbed down version of what has been showed at E3 2009 and who knows what they’ll have to strip from it to further lower its price (PS3 is the prime example) before the technology itself becomes cheaper to produce.

What’s this??

JUST SHIPPED??

It’s official! Microsoft have won the HD console war (again), and Sony are just a bunch of spinsters!

Who says gamers are fickle?

I see GIGAHURTZ is back flaimbaiting the ps3 news articles again. People complain about other’s but at least they try to make a contribution to debates

No, that’s your problem. You don’t see anything.

Just your delusional fanboy based paranoia causing an inability in your narrow mind to see a simple light joke.

Your hypersensitivity to comment #58 (but not #28) is amusing.

I would really like to see how many they sold, its easy to say they ship that many since there is many retailer out there.

To be frank, if Sony or Microsoft ever want these to be hugely successful alternatives to the Wii, they’re going to have to start shipping them with their consoles by default.

@63

I’d say it’s a given that Move and Kinect, or evolutions of them, will come as basic kit for the next round of consoles.

I would also expect Move/Kinect bundles to start replacing standalone console boxes, in much the same way that motionplus is pretty much standard now in Wii boxes.

Yeah I’d like to see better value bundle deals from both MS & Sony on consoles but I think they are both precursors to full inclusion in new consoles in a couple of years. The Move stuff I can see implemented in a linked/detachable main controller – though not sure what will be done with the ball bits. Kinect somehow being incorporated into a single box which is the console too is a possibility – throws up it’s own problems but there are ways and means.

Kinect will not come built into the console housing itself, if that is what you are suggsting.

Sold in the box with console as one packaged product, yes, but the sensor would still be separate.

I agree with two points:

Neither Move nor Kinect offer much in terms of value. Their prices are too high and they lack worthy pack ins.

Secondly if they want this to sell, they need to be packed in with the said systems, AT NO EXTRA COST.

Otherwise the Wii simply looks more atractive and is priced better.

And now, after playing all three(Wii, Move, Kinect) I can honestly say there is little difference in the experiences they offer. They are all gimmick based distractions. Novelties at best. Imo, of course.

@66
That was what I was suggesting. There are obviously some boundaries to that, maybe if we were talking more than a couple of years down the line. Do away with the optical drive cut down the internals a little and it’s feasible isn’t it? Ok it’s a bit out there but conceptually quite nice.

@68

That wont happen, for several reasons:

1) Kinect is motorised.
2) Sensitive opticals would not work well in a housing with fans and drives (HDD and they would not do away with the optical drive)
3) Kinect works best at eye level.

I can see Kinect shrinking down considerably in future iterations, but it will always be a connectable peripheral.

They’ve still ‘Moved’ an extremely decent amount, though.

Sorry, had to
