Report: PS Move has sold nine million

IndustryGamers reports that PlayStation Move has sold nine million units worldwide, putting it within striking distance of Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral. 

Sony’s motion-sensing controller has been selling at a steady pace since its launch in September 2010, while Kinect got off to a flying start with eight million units shifted in just two months. However, sales soon stalled at 10 million back in March.

"The Kinect's weakness has been the sales pattern, where 8 million devices sold in 2 months, and then in the next 10 months only 2 million more devices were sold. This has led to some concerns,” commented IndustryGamers’ Steve Peterson. 

Sony last issued a sales update for PlayStation Move back at E3 in June, where it confirmed the device had moved at approximately 8.8 million.

A number of high-profile games have already made use of the tech, including Killzone 3, PlayStation Move Heroes and Heavy Rain.

    played a lot Sports champions, High velocity bowling, Planet minigolf, like the precision and different ways to use it, and of course with the navigation controller it can be used in a variety of game genres

    Deadmund's Medieval moves came out this week or last, which was kinda a surprise. The demo was pretty decent but I cant see playing a game like this for as long as a standard action game. While it shares a lot of the same mechanics of Sports Champions, there's more time to rest between actions in that game, Deadmund requires a lot of constant activity and could wear you out half way through a level never mind several.
