Completly apart from motion wars but did you guys wondered about what kind of profit margin move may bring to Sony?

Let's see:

ps3 eye is just a simple low resolution webcam which Sony have sold for ages for as low at 20-30$ and since it was also sold as stand alone accessory it must be at least slightly profitable.

Then we have Move controller - it should cost them more than a gamepad but at 50$ MSRP this thing is certainly profitable.

Another thing is Navigation controler - this thing is even more simplified than sisaxis pad yet sells at 40$   MSRP. i remember people mentioned that estimates for mass production of 1 gamepad are at 1-2$.

And last thing is huge lineup of first party motion party games they are bringing for it. All those games are simple and probably cost a fraction of budget it takes to make game like Uncharted or GoW but should have no trouble to get into 500-1000k copies sold area.

 

The way it's shaping move might print money for Sony almost nintendo style.
