Sony Still Upbeat About Move

 

Sony is still hoping that its Move peripheral will become a bestseller, despite being somewhat of a flop so far. Released around the same time as Microsoft's Kinect, the Move device failed to capture gamers' imaginations, and has sold poorly in comparison to the Kinect. "It is the strength of the software that goes with it that is paramount," a Sony exec said of the dilemma. "And we've had a widely different performance from the various Move titles. Sports Champions is by far the most successful, selling a couple of hundred thousand units, which is a healthy performance. But it does vary thereafter." "So I'd say we are in the market, we have got a shout. Forthcoming titles are going to be important. We take some encouragement from things we can mention, such as Sorcery which is on the schedule, and other things that we know are bubbling under. It is a focus from a studio point-of-view to bring out stronger titles."
