Reggie comments on new consoles, criticizes Move/Kinect for lack of games.

Also I decided maybe I should speak on topic. Reggie did have a very valid point when he said Move and Kinect suffered from a lack of great software.

Move is reliant heavily on titles that can be played without it. Very few games have been made that utalize Move as the primary control system and even fewer are of high enough quality to consider worthy of a purchase of a Move controller, camera and Nav. Where are the games?

Kinect despite all the talk about Gunstringer etc...etc.. and how amazing they are. Dance Central is almost the only successful title on the device. Kinectimals and Kinect Sports did fairly well as well. However the majority of the software has failed on a massive scale and that is not because consumers are idiots its because the quality of the software and the experiances it offers are drastically inferior to the offerings of Nintendo , Move or even the classic control devices.

Reggie has a very good point because of the three companies Nintendo is the only one who actually invested its whole console in motion controls. Nintendo put its money where its mouth was, they created the first party AAA+ software to support the Wii and they gambled heavily not spreading their support between classic and motion.

Nintendo actually supported their motion controller. Say what you will but Microsoft nor Sony have actually put their might behind their motion controls. To them they are just another peripheral, Nintendo is going the route that motion control is the future and rather then spending money and resources on supporting the old control styles they are investing entirely in the future.

Reggie is going to be completely right about this till Microsoft and Sony put their full might behind their devices. Which they will not do, even if Microsoft continues with Kinect with their next console it will not replace the classic controller. Microsoft is incapable of creating a format that both offers an experiance that Nintendo/Sony does not while giving consumers the quality software that they require. Kinect can't replace controllers at least not in the foreseeble future. Move could very well replace the classic controller, but Sony doesn't have the balls to go all in. Sony tested the waters rather then jumping head first in, Sony realized that they could not give up the DualShock and compete with Nintendo and/or Microsoft. They are tied with the fact that neither Sony nor Microsoft can afford to drop their classic controller.

Nintendo is in a position where it can continue to innovate, create new control devices and offer new gaming experiances. A luxory that Microsoft and Sony do not have. Personally I understand exactly why Microsoft and Sony haven't thrown their full weight behind motion controls, but as long as they do not Reggie has a major point!
