Sony has announced that it has sold over 4.1 million Move motion controllers for PlayStation 3 in the two months since the hardware went on sale.

"The milestone was reached in just 2 months since its release in September for North America, Europe/PAL territories and Asia, and 1 month since the release in October for Japan. The number not only shows clear success of the launch of the new motion sensing controller but also indicates positive momentum going in to the holiday season and to the year 2011."

We're rather fond of the Move system, as you can see from James' review. We need some better games for the controller though.

Edit: According to Engadget these figures are a little fishy. The 4.1 million is units shipped, rather than sold.

The second light gun game James has reviewed for the PS3's new motion controller, the PlayStation Move, but does it miss the target?

James slugs it out with Sony's Move brawler - The Fight: Lights Out.

The genre is old, the technology is new, but does Time Crisis still have a place in the home console market?

Zipper Interactive has releases version 2.0 of the multiplayer shooter MAG via PSN which adds support for the PlayStation 3 Move controller.

The patch also adds way too many new features to mention all of them in detail here, but a few others include a new economy system and a new level cap.

You can read the very long change-list for yourself over on the MAG Blog.

Well done Zipper for showing how to support a game post-release.

Today sees the launch of PlayStation Move in the UK and mainland Europe.

Sony is of course playing catchup against the phenomenal success of Nintendo's Wii. But as James explains in his review, Move doesn't just catch Nintendo, it goes one step beyond.

Nintendo and Microsoft, the ball is in your court.

I'm a big fan of Flight Control - it's one of the best games available for Apple portable devices.

But what of the PlayStation 3 version currently in development? Judging by the following video it's looking very promising.
