If Patcher said this, Patcher say that... ok ok, i got the point.

For me its not just about the Motion controls and its about great games that use the Motion controls. Yes I think that the Wii is my favorite console ever made and that has a lot to do with Motion controls. What people forget though is Nintendo's Motion control isn't only about the Wii Remote. Its also about the Wii Zapper, Wii Wheel, Wii Balence Board, and Motion Plus. Also Nintendo does have a NEW experience with the seems to always be forgoten Vitality Sensor. I honestly think that Sony could be in trouble because Nintendo and Microsoft both have NEW game experience coming(Vitality Sensor and Natal) while Move looks and works like the Wii Remote.

LBP says yes.

i have a ps3 and wii and i likely won't be buying move. The only way i will buy move is if there is a lot of very high quality software that i could only play on move. In that case i wouldn't really be buying it for the motion controls, i'd be buying it for the software basically. The wii has enough great software that it wouldn't matter if i hated motion controls or not, i would still buy it.

Of course the differentiation is the interface, you can't separate the interface from the experience, especially when it comes to the Wiimote (motion control in general). Do you think the experience people would have with most of those games you listed would be anywhere near the same or as good if Wii only had a classic controller and the Wiimote never was? Wii wouldn't be where it is if not for the Wiimote. It might still have been the market leader (debateable, probably would have been 360), but it wouldn't be pushing 50% market share.

And if someone doesn't own a Wii then they haven't had their fill of anything that's available on Wii, let alone the motion control experience. So Wii clones on PS3 are actually a good strategy, but only for a small segment of the market. But you seem to be making that point in reference to people who have a Wii and yet you are responding to the part where I was talking about people deciding between buying a Wii or a PS3 (i.e. they don't currently own either). So in reference to people do have Wii I fully agree (note my opening sentence: Reggie's quote in the thread title is stating the obvious).

You're saying Nintenclones won't have even 20% of the success on PS3 as the originals on Wii. I say Move might only account for about 5% of PS3 HW sales for the generation. It seems in the final analysis we more or less agree.

Things that occured to me during the read.

1) I can't imagine any Wii owners ever buying a PS3 for Move.  Its just not worth considering.

2) Games Journalists, it seems, along with whatever it is that classifies itself as a "hardcore" gamer.., cannot come to terms with the fact that HD is not a significant selling point for video games.  The difference between SD and HD is not significant.

3) I bet Reggie is getting pretty sick of these pointless interviews.  Who cares what some guy has to say...  Not to mention that Patcher has proven to be clueless with regards to the games market throughout this entire generation.

4) I can't think of a single "games journalist" that I have the slightest drop of respect for.  I honestly do think they're all morons.  It would be great to run accross one who was on the ball so that I could spend my time on their site, but I'm not holding my breath.

There were more thoughts, "I've played the Move and its very interesting."  Yeah cap'm, it WAS very interesting last year when Nintendo released the superior version Motion+.   Reggie is right of course, as always.

"2) Games Journalists, it seems, along with whatever it is that classifies itself as a "hardcore" gamer.., cannot come to terms with the fact that HD is not a significant selling point for video games. The difference between SD and HD is not significant."

It's basically the indoctrination of the spec wars in the 16-bit era, when the Genesis had a faster processor (technically the bus clock speed was faster), but the SNES had more colors and effects. In the end, it was the games that mattered (and both have loads of awesome games), but for these people, they just couldn't see past the spec wars.

Been thinking about it and Reggie should have said this...

"Well, back in 2006 Pachter said the Wii would sell less than 20m in its lifetime and force Nintendo out of the console business all together. However, Wii sold 20m in its FIRST YEAR and more than four years later is still selling more than its competition every week in every region. Yeah, Pachter is someone we should listen to. Hell, Nintendo should buy Wedbush Morgan with the money it made on Wii in December so we can fire Pachter for never being right about anything. Jesus Fucking Christ man that was a stupid question. Even a fucking 2 year old could see its simply out of stock due to MASSIVE holiday sales. Now can you ask an intelligent original question or are you going to keep parroting the internet?"

Wii Wiimote is the enabler but its the qualities of the software which brings the experiences to life. The Nintendo examples are second to none and they have already tapped into a large proportion of the market already. Copy cat games have failed on the Wii time and again, so what reason would copy cat games for the succeed, even on a different system? These aren't top tier developers making these copy cat games either so the chances that they will capture the same magic Nintendo brought forth at least for the games shown is pretty slim. 

I was talking about the people deciding between the Wii and PS3. If the interface isn't a deciding factor then the games library will be. How many truely top class experiences will there be on the Move that you cannot get on the Wii? That is the big question because the flipside, how many top class experiences on the Wii vs Move especially at launch isn't balanced in the slightest. If people haven't been satisfied by the Wii for whatever reason then clones of the stock Wii experiences aren't going to get Sony very far, which was my point. They need more than that, and if they don't build games from the ground up to support the interface then how are they going to even this balance?
