One Million PlayStation Move Units Shipped to North, South America

According to Sony, over one million PlayStation Move units have been shipped to North and Latin America in the first month of its release. Before Sony's announcement, many analysts made claims that the PlayStation Move had less-than-favorable sales. It had been previously revealed that the Move had sold 1.5 million units in Europe during the first month alone, but many skeptics had expected the new device to fair much poorer on this side of the Atlantic. Of course, shipped does not equal sold, but the numbers are still significant.

Activision Realizes Initial DJ Hero Sales May Be Slow

During a panel at the PLAY Digital Media Conference, Kai Huang, co-founder of Guitar Hero, said he is expecting the sales of DJ Hero to be slow at first. Huang stated, “Activision has its sights set on a long-term sales goal, and not the typical first month results.” This makes sense when a game like this really relies on people actually trying it out first at a friend’s house or in-store demos. Huang said at the panel that Activision’s “strategy again is to focus on in-store demos” like they did with Guitar Hero. Activision is hoping the sales pattern of DJ Hero will follow a similar one to Guitar Hero. DJ Hero is being marketed as a fun music game that you’ll love to play with friends so they’re reall
