Features: Move’s First Month

18:30 at movemodo.com

What do we make of it?

On September 17th, PlayStation Move launched across Europe with a fairly wide range of titles: EyePet: Move Edition showed the controller's cute side, but Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition catered to core gamers too. Now we've had a month in Move's company, it's a good time to take stock of the controller's impact and its future prospects.

Software

So far 18 PlayStation Move games have been released in Europe, quite a healthy figure for a launch period on a new controller. The ease with which these games can be patched means some of them were released months before Move – step forward, Heavy Rain – which slightly skews the number of games physically released in this first month.

Move Sold “Below Expectations” in US, Claims Analyst

11:15 at movemodo.com

Although the NPD reports claim PlayStation Move drove accessory sales upwards last month, and Sony claiming Move is outselling its expectations in Europe, it's not all roses and sunshine in Move World according to US analyst Wedbush Morgan's main games mouthpiece Michael Pachter.

Even though we believe Move sold well below expectations in its first month, we expect it, along with the Kinect (launching November 4), to drive hardware sales at holiday.

Of course this raises a few questions: how many units did Move sell after all, and whose expectations are we measuring against? Hopefully we'll have answers soon, but either way, expect the controller's sales to grow and grow in the run-up to Christmas.
