14 DAY TRIAL // While the Kinect is stealing the media spotlight with its impressive sales figures, Sony is still proclaiming that its PlayStation Move peripheral is doing extremely well all over the world, including Europe, as well as North and Latin America.
Microsoft has launched the Kinect two weeks ago for the Xbox 360, and has reached impressive sales figures in that time.
Meanwhile, Sony has also praised its PlayStation Move motion sensitive peripheral a few weeks ago, saying that it has sold over 2.5 million units, with 1.5 moving in Europe and one million in North America.
Now, it seems that Latin America is also doing well, as Mark Stanley, general manager of Latin America for Sony Computer Entertainment America, talked about sales with IndustryGamers.
According to him, the demand for the PlayStation Move has exceeded expectations, and things are going extremely well.
"We’re actually continuing to catch up on filling the pipeline with product, as we are in the U.S. and worldwide because demand has greatly exceeded our expectations," he commented. "So far, we still don’t have enough to supply the [Latin America] region and we’re hoping to catch up, so triple-A success for us in the region."
According to Stanley, marketing the PlayStation Move in the region has been extremely easy, and the company really managed to draw a line between it and the Kinect.
"It’s been able to translate easily into the region. Something as simple as Move is easily communicated, easily captivated by the region. The difference is we’ve been able very much to define the difference between Move and Wii and Kinect, which has helped us quite a bit."
The executive didn't reveal any numbers though, so we'll just have to take Sony's word about the Move selling well and staying ahead of the Kinect.
