Sony: 8 million Move units shipped, 50 million PS3s sold worldwide
Sony announced this morning that it shipped over 8 million units of the Move controller to retailers worldwide as of April 3. The company also noted that the PlayStation Move "ecosystem," which includes the PS Eye, Move navigation controller and Move-friendly software, "continues to see strong momentum at retail." (The company had shipped 4.1 million Moves by last November.) Sony also mentioned that PS3 sales have reached 50 million units worldwide. Interestingly, the Sharp Shooter peripheral had a 40 percent attach rate with Killzone 3 "among key retailers." Bob McKenzie, senior vice president of merchandising for GameStop said, "Due to the demand for the PlayStation Move motion controller, we've been struggling to keep units in stock in our U.S. GameStop stores." Sales were likely assisted by Sony's VP of The Cold Hard Truth, Kevin Butler, using the device in the game's ad campaign.
Resistance 3 to support PlayStation Move and Sharp Shooter, along with 3D
Insomniac has just announced at its Community Day event here in Los Angeles that when Resistance 3 finally arrives on September 6, it will bring with it support for 3D televisions, as well as compatibility with PlayStation Move and its Sharp Shooter attachment. The studio said during a public panel that it was encouraged by the Move functionality in Killzone 3 and plans to implement Resistance 3 in a similar way. This is all good news, because, let us tell you: If you've never died in a Chimera attack, holding a model gun with a motion controller attached while wearing 3D glasses, well ... you haven't really lived.
