PlayStation Move tops 4.1 million sales
PlayStation Move sales have topped 4.1 million units, Sony’s announced today. The motion controller, launched in September, has been on the market for three months.
The announcement comes after Microsoft announced total worldwide sales of 2.5 million units for Kinect in its first 25 days.
“This number not only shows clear success of the launch of the new motion sensing controller but also indicates positive momentum going into the holiday season and to the year 2011,” Sony said in the press release.
There are currently over 25 PlayStation 3 games on the market with Move compatibility. The lot is only set to increase with the releases of blockbuster titles like Killzone 3, SOCOM 4, and No More Heroes: Heroes’ Paradise next year.

Good for Sony. It’s interesting that Move is doing so well considering how much money MS has thrown into Kinect marketing while I barely see anything for Move.
No promotional tie-ins, no Oprah/Ellen giveaways and no killer app like Dance Central.
I still don’t plan on getting one right away but it’s good to know that it’s keeping pace with the Kinect marketing machine.
nice2 :D
i can’t wait for No More Heroes Paradise, Dead Space 2 Move Support, and hopefully other games will support this feature. like MGS Rising, Monster Huner PS3, Demon Souls 2 or Project Dark, that would be sweet :)
This is good news. Not because I’m betting with my family about PlayStation Move selling better then Kinect, but because I am a huge fan of the PS brand. I will be getting this a bit after Christmas.
