You cannot infer from Reggies statements here about the prospects of the PS Move by his reaction to it. In addition to this, I bet he is about 10* more concerned with what the Wii audience thinks and what his potential audience thinks than the <25% of the market which owns a PS3 might think. Hes not going after a fraction of a fraction of PS3 users who might be interested in the Wii when his company has bigger markets still not yet fully tapped out.

Yes Sony have some pretty great game studios, but do they have the potential to bring out Wii X games which capture the mass markets attention, especially when Sony have to split their time between normal and Move control schemes? At this point without proof of Sony diverting even 33% of their resources to Move related projects he has little to worry about.

Gone the day's of the cool, calm and humble Nintendo. They get a little competition and their up in arm's making all sort's of random claim's and rah rah rah.

Thanks, will remember that for next time.

you do know with the playstation Move need's the EYETOY to work. you cannot even use the controller with out they Eyetoy. Its like a mocap, your trying to remove what make's the Move the move..

that's like saying remove the sensor bar off of the Nintendo Wii..without the motion sensor bar the Wiimote would not work.

I want Ninjabread Man HD XD

So that means don't put it under your TV right?

Nothing new.

I seem to recall mentioning that "potential Wii audience" you speak of in my post. In case you missed it, here it is again 'And people yet to get into this generation can say. "Cool, I can get excellent HD games AND Wiimote style games all in one package" *does the maths* "Yep and it'll be cheaper overall to get PS3+Move than to get PS3 + Wii"'. Such people will say the same thing about Natal, and it'll be the cheapest of all HD+motion control options to boot; which is why Kevin Butler had to talk smack about Natal. Fact is Move (and Natal) are seeking to make inroads into that not yet fully tapped out market you mention. A market that heretofore was solely Nintendo's. Reggie would be stupid to not to worry, because the motion control hardware Sony and MS have produced are every bit as good as Wii's, which means Wii stands to lose a substantial amount of the blue ocean if they don't front foot it.

You can infer plenty about their level of concern over the potential of the competition by how aggressively they bag it. At this point I'd say Reggie is swinging harder than I've ever seen against the PS3. Up to now Nintendo really has been able to ignore the PS3 as an irrelevance; except in Japan, and even then only recently and only to a lesser degree.

And in reality he really does need to worry about his Wii install base, because there is potential for Wii owners to look at the grass on the other side of the fence and seriously consider giving it a nibble. Not because the motion controls are (or even seem) better or bring anything substantially new, but because on the other side of the fence there are tasty morsels not related to motion controls that serve as inducements.

And since Reggie talked smack about both Move and Natal what I'm saying pretty much applies to the Natal threat to Wii as well.

Ninty can't rest on it's current suite of games and applications zand say, well we've got all that so you don't need PS Move or Natal. They've got to say "Look we've got all this stuff coming for you too."

I didn't notice him throwing vitality sensor out there. Did I miss that, or did he not mention it?

I do understand that is how move works a lot of the time, probably not all though.

Quite a few games work without the sensor bar as it only detects the cursor and helps orientate the motion plus now and again.

Exactly, Sony has been quite shameless in their copying of Nintendo motion controls, even the sports game they are releasing with it. Although it's never stopped them in the past either, so why stop now?
