A Welcome Addition

PlayStation Move is only a few days away from being on the market for 6 full months. It’s no secret that PlayStation Move has been widely accepted from a technical standpoint, and the software supporting the peripheral has also been quite impressive in such a short span of time with great titles such as Killzone 3, MAG, echochrome ii and Sports Champions, just to name a few. But how has PlayStation Move done on the sales charts?

VGChartz reports that there are now four million PlayStation Move compatible consoles available as of February 26, 2011. This means that eight percent of PlayStation 3’s are now equipped with PlayStation Move, and this puts the sales estimates of Move controllers at over 6.5 million units sold.

At launch Sony made the statement that Move would sell itself without the need for an over-abundance of advertisement. Word of mouth seems to be working quite well for Sony so far, and with Killzone 3 sales numbers showing 500,000 units sold in its launch week, and supporting fantastic Move support, the sales numbers for this month will likely be quite impressive as well. The future of Move is looking bright with these sales numbers, and with future titles such as SOCOM 4: US Navy SEALs and PlayStation Move Heroes, Move seems to have quickly made its mark on the gaming industry and secure its place as a viable option in the motion controlled gaming world.
