^^^ Acting as if M$ won't do the same are we??? So till now M$ says 44 million 360's shipped which is all well and good and Sony ships 3 million move controller wordwide and suddenly it's blasphemy right!!! No bububu Sony shipped!!!! Like it or not, Sony is gonna count those 3 million.... And the sales will skyrocket come Christmas, so it's a great start for the Move.

lol, as if shipped vs sold matters when a product is in demand, if they keep shipping it means that its selling or otherwise retailers wouldnt be asking for more, but keep saying shipping does not equate sold

it's not blasphemy. sony went on record saying that they only report sold to consumer when they report sales and many fanboys have used this as to how sony is catching up to the 360. now they are switching to shipped numbers which now these same fanboys are saying thats how all companies report sells. which is a contradiction of their whole argument.

BrianG5712d ago

blah blah blah, shipped, yes

But shipped in HIGH DEMAND, so what does that mean? WILL SELL.

Same with Kinect right now. They have a number of units shipped. They said they sold out, but my friend just bought Kinect with no preorder in Jersey today at a local store. Sold out? No, but they will be sure, if the demand is high. Same applies for Move, might not be sold out everywhere but it will be if demand is really high.

I don't understand the disagrees for Cold and turner, I know they aren't liked, but I always see people interchanging "shipped to retail" and "sold to consumers" whenever it suits their convenience.

I know MS apparently means shipped all the time when they say sold, but when it comes to Sony's figures people are constantly interchanging the meaning, wth is going on?

For example, Sony stated that they report SHIPPED for MOVE.

Yet here they report:
"PlayStation on the offensive with £13m Q4 ad bonanza; Move has "sold well and continues to sell well"

Now I am really confused.
Does Sony report shipped to distribution warehouses?
Or do they report shipped to retailers?
Or do they report Sold to retailers?
Or do they report Sold to consumers?

What the hell are they reporting?
Why can't the people at Sony make up their mind?

Are they fudging they figures on purpose?

Last I read Move was:

US 1 million
Europe 1.5 million
Japan 500k I think

About 3 million Moves in the first month.

Well, it is shipped.

Sony was forced to clarify this issue, otherwise you fanboys would go on and on about how Sony only reports sold to consumers, which clearly is a lie.

It'll be interesting to see how quickly Kinect catches up. I've seen my first Kinect advert on TV earlier this afternoon, it just involved people flailing, leaning and jumping, but I'm sure it will sell amazingly well. More than Move. I'm glad to see Move sell well here though :)

I saw that Kinect ad too, wasnt up to the usual MS ad standards, but then I'm not the usual target audience in this case. Neither Move/Kinects ads have been that special in the UK. Dont recall any of my mates expressing any real interest in either, but again, we're not the target audience.

remember guys, if kinect doesn't pull impressive numbers right away it's due to the move's 3 month headstart....

What I can tell you is: Kinect is loads of fun. I am very serious when I say this. I spent all my time with Kinect anventure so far. That game is sooo much fun. I must be a kid at hart because I am loving kinect. 9/10 from me.

snp5712d ago (Edited 5712d ago )

Goes both ways, though.

You and others like you have always dismissed the Xbox360's year/year and a half (Europe/SE Asia) market advantage as making any difference or being worth acknowledging (in discussions about each consoles sales/momentum/success). Remember all the calls of PS3 being 'third, and that's that. MS will release a new console soon and then the numbers end. PS3's lesser time in the market doesn't matter' etc. etc?

If the Kinect hasn't outsold the Move day one, or two, or twenty-five, being consistent to your own logic this must mean it's a failure versus the Move, right? Seeing as extra time on market isn't supposed to matter or to be something anyone should factor in when considering the relative success of a product?

Gotta say, it's also kinda funny that you've already ballooned out a ~one and half month gap (48 days) to 'three months'.

I love it. As long as you play dance games and mini games high scores. Anything else, 4s, 5s and 6s. Kinect is so versitle. Not like the shooters, RTSs, puzzles, rail shooters, adventure and platformers Move works with. How intreging.

To put things in perspective GTA:SA was the top seller last gen and sold 500k in UK. Pretty impressive numbers for move if it really manages 500k by years end.

Since they gave it points for being casual and "original".
Since MS would have their asses otherwise.

Hey, games get good and bad reviews. That doesn't mean they are bad.

I am not defending Kinect, just saying that its pathetic to only list good or bad reviews, list them both, stop being a troll

You sound like the desperate fanboy, saying all the negative reviews are from people who didn't review it or some other lame excuse. I believe user reviews over bit name site reviews.

Move is the better tech because it can cater to the hardcore crowd aswell as the casuals. Kinect is limited. An improved Eye-Toy if you will. Thing is MS needs a controller add-on if they want to appeal to both casual and hardcore. Big LOL if MS went down that path.
