Sony has shipped 10.5 million units of its Move peripheral to date, IGN reports.
The figure was revealed by Sony's Gabe Ahn, a developer support engineer, following a GDC panel (http://uk.ps3.ign.com/articles/122/1220282p1.html)focusing on developing for the Move.
Ahn confirmed to IGN that the figure represented units shipped to retailers rather than sold, and includes sales of both Move and Navigation Controllers - the latter can be substituted for a Dualshock 3 pad, and is specifically designed to work with the Move.
Ahn put the Move's attach rate at 1 for every 6 PlayStation 3 consoles, though the figure of 10.5 million units shipped does not directly correspond with that estimate.
62 million PlayStation 3 consoles had been sold as of December 31 2011, which, by Ahn's ratio, suggests around 10 million sales of the Move controller alone.
