According to many posters here, Move isn't doing anything remotely related to the Wiimote. It might not even be a motion sensing controller. It's a completely new idea developed by Sony. My answer? No.

I dunno, I think the wand is pretty amazing. It's a motion controller type motion controller compared to a square peg square hole type motion controller. That's a bit of an exaggeration, the Move is more of a lego type controller compared to a square peg square hole type controller.

Sony won't steal the Wii audience unless the PSMove is cheaper than a Wii Remote + Nunchuk. Assuming all Wii Remotes come with WM+ at US$60 and Nunchuk for US$25, it'll still be cheaper than Move (estimated to cost US$100). And if you don't have the console, you still have to think on its costs, too. PlayStation religious fans will buy it, but I'm unsure if grandma and grandpa will do the same.

Lets be honest, the Move is a Wii-mote knockoff (or a wii-mote inspired if you're in denial). So they are both in direct competition for the Wii's dominated demographic-the casuals.

Assuming the PSmove will be successful, Nintendo will most likely be the one to suffer. Because "motion control" has been Nintendo's key differentiation regarding competition & business strategy.

Why would Nintendo be afraid, Move doesn't expand the market, or capture Nintendo's audience, in fact it does nothing that the Wii doesn't already do, for less money and with Nintendo games, basically Move adds no value to the market that isn't already there.



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

From the software i've seen so far, there is little to fear. Though that could change depending on actual consumer reaction.

 

The problem is visual. They look like generic knock-offs of the games Nintendo has made. Realism in this case could be rather harmful.

Except now the Wii-mote comes with a PS3.

Hardly. The Move is an add on, the Wii remote isn't.

Nintendo certainly should not underestimate Sony. Sony has a history of taking Nintendo concepts and beating them at their own game.

Sony actually has a history of manufacturing cheaper consoles, which sell much more than the competition. This is the reason why your observation is false. Sony didn't take anything further, they just sold to more people in more markets.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

But for $200 more, hence why it lacks value

^^That $200 adds value such as getting great graphics, superior technology, critically acclaimed games.etc
