Sony sold 4.1 million PlayStation Move Controllers Worldwide

 

Sony has announced that the PlayStation Move has sold more than 4.1 million units worldwide in the two months since it's launch.

The news comes just one day after Microsoft announced it had sold over 2.5 million Kinect sensors in less than a month. Sony’s PlayStation Move controller is positioned between Nintendo’s Wii controller and the Microsoft Kinect sensor bar. Like Nintendo’s Wii, Sony’s system uses a physical controller and allows for very precise game control. Like the Kinect, it also uses a camera system to track players’ movements. Many gamers have said that the balance between the two technologies provides a better overall gaming experience, though Sony’s sales pace does fall short of the less precise Kinect.

Google TV Already ln Trouble

 

Google has big plans for its Google TV platform, their plan was to get a Google TV device into every home, either via a set top box or a Google TV enabled TV, but there are now signs that the platform may be in trouble. The Google TV platform was released just over a month

The first Google TV device, the Logitech Revue, this was quickly followed by Google TV enabled TVs from Sony.

Now Sony are offering discounts of 25 percent off their Blu-ray Google TV units, which normally doesn’t happen so soon after a products launch unless there is a lack of demand for it.

One of the major problems with Google TV, is the price of the hardware, the cheapest way to get Google TV into your living room is via a Logitech Revue set top box, this will cost you $300, compare this to Apple TV which costs $99, although the two platforms are not comparable at the moment as the Apple TV lacks many of the features of Google TV.

Another problem that Google TV has faced, is content being blocked by TV studios, many have blocked Google TV from accessing their videos which can normally be viewed on their websites.
