Sony ships 4.1m Moves, sells probably 2.5m.
Sales of Sony’s Move and Microsoft’s Kinect were today described as neck and neck as it emerged that Sony’s official 4.1 million global sales figure for the Move actually relates to shipping not sales to gamers.
Yesterday Sony directly countered Microsoft’s 2.5 million global Kinect sales announcement with an announcement of its own: it’s sold a whopping 4.1 million sales of the Move controller across the globe since its September launch.
However, while Sony’s announcement used the word “sales” in relation to the impressive number, it actually meant “shipped”. Shipped relates to sales to shops, whereas sales relates to sales through to gamers.
