Sony doesn't expect huge day one sales for Move, counting on word of mouth

Though you've probably already developed your own preconception for how the peripheral will perform, Sony Computer Entertainment senior vice president Ray Maguire recently aired out his expectations for PlayStation Move sales in an interview with Eurogamer. "Am I expecting a massive day one? Not particularly," Maguire explained. "We didn't with EyeToy, either. It went on to be massively successful."

Maguire later added, "exactly as with EyeToy in the PS2 days, it's a product that needs to be sampled. You need to get your hands on it. You need to understand it. You need to try it." We certainly get what Maguire is saying, but for some reason, we doubt people are going to have any trouble wrapping their minds around the whole "one-handed motion-sensing controller with analog stick dongle" concept.
