eh.. don't really care, still nothing I would consider a killer app out for Kinect or Move. I'm sure Move is selling moderately well. I wouldn't expect it to be doing nearly as well as Microsoft since comparably they've barely marketed the Move at all. I know I've personally seen ZERO commercials for the Move though I do occasionally see the Kevin Butler Blu-Ray/Gaming device ad... Meanwhile Kinect is plastered all over my TV.
Well these shipped "none sales" numbers are really the only thing that Sony can boast about these days. Did you see the NPD numbers? What a disaster for the PS3! Nintendo, and Microsoft are leaving Sony in they're dust!
I have the camera, and I've seen the wands around, but I keep waiting for a game to get excited about. I tried out some of the games at a demo station, and it wasn't especially impressive. Although I haven't tried it, I think Kinect looks a little better, but I'm afraid that my apartment is too small for it.
If they really want to move Move, they'll make Uncharted 3 Move-exclusive.
Granted, I hope they don't do that, because then I won't play it, but it would certainly boost sales.

It would take a lot to kill my anticipation for Uncharted 3, but that, yep, that would do it. The game would totally fall off my radar if it went Move exclusive.

Wait, if Sony is the only one from whom sales data can be obtained, whats to keep them from feeding us false data?
You forgot to put quotes on the second paragraph, unless you work for Sony now. Still, even without sales figures, I do believe Move is doing well. Sony can't be boasting about this for no reason.
"Why can't Sony do the same with Move? "
What metric should they use to determine sales of the product?
Controllers sold would obviously inflate the number, while Move bundles sold would undersell it since plenty of people already had the PS3Eye and only needed to buy the controller.
Not saying it's not possible to put some data out there, just saying that no matter what metric they chose the numbers would still likely be misleading.

If it weren't for Kung Fu Rider I would have traded in my Move already. At this point I'm keeping it around solely because the second I get rid of it, they'll release something I can't live without. I'm hoping to see some lightgun shooters in the near future, although I'd rather play them with the Guncon, but the only company to support Namco's technology these days...is Namco.
I just picked up a Kinect earlier, I'm impressed with Kinect, although it is also lacking in titles. For now, both may be selling, but they're selling based on hype and demand rather than compelling software. And surprisingly-ish, Kinect has been selling as a cheap fitness routine, which is worth something I guess.

That's where I always look, and they haven't let me down yet.
Glad to hear Move is successful. :)

I hope to hell that Uncharted 3 is Move compatible. Give me aiming controls and I'm happy.
Move is going to take a long time to gain momentum, but I'm happy with how it works, so I'm sticking with it.

@amtalx
I'd assume so, I'm just wondering whats in place to determine whether or not the data is true.

Wow that's a moderately impressive library the Move is touting. I can see myself picking one up in a few months time.
In other news, why does anybody care about initial sales figures of this peripheral. We already know it's a different creature to the Kinect - a slow burner above all else. The only things current sales figures would be good for are industry grandstanding and for the impetuous games press to draw premature conclusions.

@dinnertimeninja: The Move wand/controller thing is pretty much the only metric. Doesn't matter if every single PS3 user had an eye-toy. If 1 million controllers were sold (random number), that's the number, since those without the controller can't use Move functions.
all the people I know who had the ps3 got the move and thats about 10 people. I dont know anybody who bought the ps3 just for move, but if the rule of anybody who owns ps3 is buying the move is more or less accurate then sales should be quite good
"The library of hard core and social gamer titles"
LMAO, we don't have "casual games", they're "social games" it's totally different because we call'em something else.

Move is pretty sweet. Got a couple games for it but I'm just engaged with Sports Champions. The calibration is a pain though, but man is it ever fun once you get going. And for a Wii sports type title it is incredibly deep. Been playing the table tennis all week and I'm still not done with it. I haven't even gotten to the other events yet, it's that long.
But anyone that has a PS3 and doesn't get a Move is missing out. Hopefully Move sells well enough that they can continue making good games for it.

I still cant find a seperate move controller since launch and rarely see starterkits around here...
I think they are doing quite well but i dont really care other then that i just want my second controller!

What's weird is that I don't know I single person who has either bought move or expressed an interest, nor have I ever even seen one in person as a matter of fact. I'm not trying to make an oversimplified conclusion based on my anecdotal evidence, it just seems really weird to me that all signs (a.k.a. press releases) point to it being at the very least financially successful for Sony, yet I haven't seen a shred of that in the real world.
Move, 3D, etc. Sony is saturating its own market with multiple SKUs and peripherals. I still haven't bothered with the lollipop controllers and I am still waiting for the inevitable porn application of the thing. What bugs me is the fact no one talks about the possibility of breaking game balance by introducing Move (assume it will have the 1-to-1 tracking....) into the online gaming competition. Is Sony planning to have multiple service level now? e.g. multiplayer arenas for Move users and regular controller users, etc. I just want to play game with what I got and I hope Sony won't force me to use the lollipop controller. And I hope things don't get delayed b/c Sony is trying to integrate Move with all their exclusive games.
