funny, because Sony will start the marketing campaign in ... 24 hours !

and believe, this time, they will push it thought the Hell, not like the crappy sixaxis.

We'll see.

All I have to say is let's see the games.

And unless soft support remains tight, it could end up being another Nintendo-like peripheral with limited use or another PSEye (other than Eye Pet, has anything else been released in the past year plus?).

I'm not buying another controller unless it offers backwards support with some of my favorite games, or they release it with a really impressive game or two that I feel compelled to play.

I m also not convinced that Arc will be a success considering how close it is to the Wiimote.

I completely agree : all will depend on software

BUT I m sure sony will support it more than Sixaxis and that, passed the GDC, Arc will be put in front of the PS3 strategy.

Result : saying Arc will fail because of the lack of support is kinda innaccurate 6 months before the release date.
