Head of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, Andrew House, has stated that the division has sold around 1.5 million PlayStation Move controllers.
Speaking to Bloomberg, House said that he had seen “very significant sales” in the first month, giving a figure of “somewhere in the region of 1.5 million units” and that’s just across Europe.
“The initial sales response has been so far in excess of our initial plan that we’ll probably be looking at accelerating production,” he said.
And never shy of a bit of coverage, our old friend Gran Turismo 5 appears at the end of the interview. “There has been a small, minor delay in terms of the last stages of getting the game released,” said House.
“We remain very confident that the game will be released before the end of this year.”

Pink balls? That’s a question for your GP, not for us ;-)

Possibly, but I doubt Team ICO are really interested in Move, not for a game that was likely in development before they got a chance to learn more about Move anyway (I’m assuming work on Last Guardian began right after SotC in 2005 / 2006 and Sony told some developers about the early stages of Move in 2007 / 2008).

I’m Goddamn IMPRESSED! :O

That’s a lot. I’m waiting for the console bundle with move.

That’s pretty impressive I must admit. I thought for sure the thing would crash and burn, never would have expected it to reach numbers like that.
Good on them, but I’m still not budging… well not unless I REALLY hate playing Dead Space Extraction with the Dualshock of course, then I MIGHT… but that’s a big might, I put it in all caps and everything.

I’m actually really surprised by those figures, I would have assumed it would kind of flop since the general public would think ‘it’s just a bad Wii rip-off’. Apparently not.

That’s probably why it’s done so well, it’s like Wii but better.
