I can understand not liking the idea, but geez dude, I've seen you troll the PS Move like...15 times. And I haven't even read that many comments. Lay off it. Damn.

Yea, the WM+ has to point at the screen (it can survive for a while not pointing at the screen) and that is a minor downside compared to the PSMove. Overall I think both systems will provide essentially the same game play quality. I think most of these "lag" reports have more to do with software than hardware.

And yes, I have seen people think the sensor bar actually senses, but who can blame them when it has such a deceiving name.

What I find interesting is the reviews about the move compared to the reviews about the wii from e3 2006.
The move reviews seem to focus much more on the technical aspects (lag, abilities) while the wiimote seemed to focus more on the game and feel aspect.

"However, ignoring pricing, the PlayStation Move is clearly a stronger solution than Nintendo's Wii remote, nunchuk, and Wii MotionPlus combination, and it definitely has more potential because of this more sensitive and more capable tech. "

Not sure where or how this conclusion is drawn. Seems it's added for the sake of crapping on Nintendo without anything in the article backing it up.

Only thing is I am not so sure that will be particularly easy... and I certainly don't think it can be as fast to point as something like Wii Play. It's different tech.

The Wii remote has a camera in it that tracks the 2 points (3 or 5 LEDs at each point) of IR light on the "sensor" bar. It can tell where you are pointing with minimal motion sensing input needed.... all it needs is the accelerometer to help determine if you move Wii remote vertical position (not tilt... position) as well as to periodically check that you are holding it the right way up (if you are on the Wii menu, and you point away, then turn the remote over and point back sometimes the hand will be the wrong way up)

The Move controllers need to use the accellerometers (with help from the PSeye) all the time to determine which way they are pointing, which while thay are accurate, are not as fast as the IR camera.

The Move is better suited to gesture based things because it can track the ball of light useing the PSeye, which means it can do the same stuff as Wii remote & motion+ except less calibration.... however I don't think it can perform as a pointer as responsively as the Wii remote can. (for menus and such it's fine of course)

Lol, yeah I remember way back when Wii was unveiled everybody used to think so, even big, professional sources like IGN. XD How wrong they were. They were like 'yeah you place this device on top of your TV, and it creates an invisible force field in which it can track the controller and recognize in 3D space where it is and how it's moved'... XD

Is this thing going to work between the 28th February and the 1st of March ? /sarcasm

The problem will be the reliability of the device (as always with sony). There's no data about the battery lifespan also, if it comes with a battery and so on. Oh, by the way, Nintendium-made Wiimote break TVs, we have to know if this breaks TV or if TV breaks the move ^^

That's true, but the final product is indeed 3.5 years old, prototypes always exist prior to launch. And we know Nintendo will never release something that's not yet ready to be released.

As far as I am aware, it can't be as fast as Wii Play (ie getting high scores like 900pts would be nigh on impossible)

Then again, I haven't used the PSMove... I am basing this of the technology it is using (accellerometers are not as immediate tech as cameras)

Well gents, i guess he race is on big time.

Not any big race but it still serves its purpose of making us ponder what the hell is gonna happen next ;).

If what TWRoO is saying turs out to be true, well more power to him as he clearly deserves it, Wii owners get the satisfaction to smirk a little and PS3 supporters recieve the right to palmface themselves just for the irony of it all.

And pancakes.
