Hedon Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Move off to ?a good start,? bodes well for Kinect With Sony failing to release official sales numbers for their new PlayStation Move, there is no definitive way to know how the motion control device has performed at retail so far, so we turn to the next best thing: analysts. According to a survey from US based Lazard Capital Markets, the device is off to a ?good start,? which leads them to believe it will also hold true for Microsoft?s Kinect, due out in North America November 4th.?We believe that Sony?s Move is off to a good start at retail, with limited supplies, and our survey also bodes well for the launch of Kinect,? said Lazard?s Colin Sebastian. Sebastian goes on to say that the company is ?somewhat surprised by the positive reaction? the Move and Kinect have received, given their considerably high price points and lack of gaming titles. He also admits that the two new devices probably won?t greatly impact console game sales in the last quarter of this year, but the effect they have on each company?s stock price should serve as an indicator for future software demand. Well, we may not have numbers on the Move sales (official), but at least it looks promising. This means more support for Move going forward no doubt.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted October 13, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 13, 2010 Only just saw an ad for the first time last night for Move. As always, Sony PR not doing their jobs correctly. I'll be surprised if it has sold well at all so far with an almost non-existent campaign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised to not see more of it as well, other than maybe two tv adverts thats about all I have seen What I really want to do is have a go on it and see how much different it is to the Wii before the Kinect comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
