Kinect Bundles Outsells Move Bundles 5:1 in December

10 Comments

The NPD, who is pretty much the go to source for video game sales information, recently made sales numbers private, making it inaccessible to the likes of you and me, without the aid of leaks.  So companies have been using this to their advantage by putting out press releases that list “shipped” numbers instead of “sold” to make it appear as if software and hardware are doing better than they actually are.  Sony has been doing exactly this with the PlayStation Move.

I think it was pretty obvious overall the Kinect was doing better. And while we don’t have raw numbers for Move and Kinect, analyst Micheal Pacther reveals that Xbox 360 and Kinect bundles outsold PlayStation 3 and Move bundles by 5:1. Even more dwarfing is that Kinect software sold 13:1 to Move software.

It will be interesting to see just how far Sony can take Move. As of right now, it seems to be getting off to a slow start. Did you pick up either the Kinect or Move this holiday season?

The Rune Factory series is a spin-off of Harvest Moon that focuses of RPG elements as well as the farming and romantic elements. The new title looks to follow in the footsteps of the previous title Rune Factory Frontier – a Wii exclusive last year.

Resident Evil 5 Move Support Gold Edition Exclusive

Leave a comment

Fancy yourself some PlayStation Move controls with your Resident Evil 5? Gold Edition owners will be getting a  patch absolutely free-of-charge, but what about the original game?

Capcom has said that due to technical issues, the original version of Resident Evil 5 will not be receiving PlayStation Move support. So if you want yourself some motion controls with your zombie shooting, you will have to pick up a copy of Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition.

A bit disappointing. But with a company like Capcom, it doesn’t seem like them to do this just to be greedy. It probably really is technical issues with the build of the original game.

Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition was originally going to support PlayStation Move controls at launch, but then the device was delayed from Spring 2010 to Fall 2010. The title has probably already been PlayStation Move ready for awhile, and Capcom is probably just waiting for a green light for the update.

South African Retailer Lists PlayStation Move for July

2 Comments

South African retailer, BT Games, recently put out a catalog where they ran a PlayStation move ad that read “Watch out for the PlayStation Move. Coming this July.”

Some times retailers get a heads up on these kind of things, other times they are purely speculating. July seems like a odd month to just randomly throw out like that.

I’m not familiar with the retailer, but Kotaku says that in the past they have been right on top with these things. Whether or not they are this time will have to wait till E3.
