Please.. Move will not move PS3s in Japan, especially not at $100. Why would they, when not even Wii can make an impact there anymore with its motion controls?

It may have a chance, to make some sort of impact, but Sony needs to realize that with the new control scheme, they need to reach out to new audience and create new genres, like Nintendo did. I don't see this happening, I see Sony simply tacking on motion controls to their core franchises, which won't be enough to suddenly entice the Japanese.

Nintendo has the edge in Japan in the long term, because of their ability to create evergreen titles, and games that bring in new and ex gamers. Sony hasn't really shown the ability to do this.

Also, 3D will CERTAINLY not make an impact in Japan. Not when you have to wear stupid glasses and invest in a $3000 TV, when people are JUST now starting to get HD TVs.. If you think 3D will really boost PS3 whatsoever, you are grasping for straws.

In terms of GT5, obviously it will move some consoles, but I fail to see why most PS2 users would suddenly migrate to PS3 after that game, when thus far they've gone 3 and a half years without upgrading. Clearly they just don't want one.
