The Move is a rip off with no solid software revealed yet. How could anyone but the die hard Sony fans even consider a purchase? Honestly we have a few titles announced but mostly tech demo's from last E3. To be honest I already own a Wii why upgrade to the WiiHD (As Pachter calls Move)? What games can I honestly only play on Move?

The games I've seen so far look like utter crap. Socom the one game I am interested in the slightest can be played with the regular controller so why the heck would I buy a Move. Why would I spend almost 100$ on a controller I already have? Why spend almost 100$ for a controller to play mediocre software when I can buy mediocre software on my Wii today?

With nothing really big pushing Move I see absolutely no sane reason to invest in the peripheral.

Honestly , I think you are being too negative about it. You say that only the die hard Sony fans might buy it, when it's according to you a Wii rip off. Then why buy a wii instead? The games announced so far seem promising, especially Heavy Rain, LBP2 and Socom (are these crappy games?). And most games CAN or could be played with a regular controller, but some are even more awesome with motion control (e.g. all the super mario games were great without it). How about waiting to judge Move after E3. It seems to me that you're not going to buy it no matter how many good games are announced.

I always thought that there is no way I would ever buy a 360, but Natal seems very interesting, so I'll wait and see. There is no reason to call it an Eyetoy rip off without having seen what it can do and even if it is, it might be 10x better than Eye Toy and offer the most impressive games.


I think you just pointed out the fundemental flaw. Why would anyone buy the Wiimot.... I mean Move when you don't need it? I mean every big game to incorporate Move can be played with a regular controller. Why buy a Wii instead? Simple it has four years worth of software that uses the controller where as the PS Move will have maybe 20-30 by years end? If you want motion controls why would someone buy the gimmicky rip off when the real product has far more software.

I am being a little negative of course, as for Natal being like the EyeToy I gotta say it is in the sense that all camera technology uses a camera and their for it is very similiar.

Someone pointed out that Move isn't like the Wiimote because it uses a camera (EyeToy) to find the location of the controller and LED lights on the tip of the controllers. However I hope the guy realizes the exact opposite is how the Wiimote works, their is a small camera in every Wiimote that senses where the controller is using LED's set on top of the TV. The technology is way more similiar then Natal is to the EyeToy.

In the end only die hard Sony fans will pick up Move, who else would? Theirs no exclusive killer apps (Maybe after E3) but right now why would anyone spend 100$ for a controller with no software? Yes their are a few games that have been announced that can be played with the Move and regular controller. So why would someone sain choose to play the same game with a Move controller for an extra 100$.

To me its just illogical this early on to buy a Move, wheres the exclusive content? The AAA games? What can Move do that NintenCan't!

There is no such thing as a 'real product'. Coming first on the market means nothing as the hardware doesn't evolve. The camera on the wiimote (128x96 pixels) can't be compared spec-wise with natal or eyetoy (640×480).

Wiimote uses interpolation to get a 10x bigger image, which is obsolete bs.



Around the Network

Price and games is everything, if its priced well and there is 2-3 games that utilize it that i'm interested in then i'll bite.



 

I wasn't planning on getting it very soon after release but if the rumour about the cheap price is true then I just might. Plus I already have the USB camera so I just need the controllers.



Sure. Even if ts only for tiger words golf and socom 4.

The Move is a Wiimote and nun-chuck how can you not compare it? You'd have to be blind in order to not see the obvious, the Move is WiiHD as Pachter said.

Natal is something unique and fresh it can't really be really compared to the Wii except for the fact that it breaks tradition and innovates. But the Move doesn't innovate or add anything to the table it is simply a over glorified WiiMote.

The hardware difference between The Move and the Wiimote is actually a lot bigger than the difference between Natal and the PS eye:

PS Eye = RGB camera two microphones

Natal = RGBZ camera two microphones

Wiimote = Motion sensor buttons infrared tracking sensor

The Move = Motion sensors buttons RGB camera two microphones glowing ball for tracking

 

It's true that the Move controller alone is very close to the Wiimote, but people seem to forget that this is just one half of The Move - the other half is a camera/microphones combination just like Natal has one. Natal is an advanced PS Eye, The Move is both an enhanced PS Eye and an enhanced Wiimote.

yes thank you. someone who didn't overlook the key difference between move and the Wii. the difference that makes the move the most capable of all 3 motion controls.  read this post, it is what makes the move the winner from a technical stand point. it is plain and simple the move uses the PS eye a camera that has a great many of the feature Microsoft is boasting about kinetic. it has accuracy greater than Wii motion plus because of the great glowing ball on the end. it is both Sony's rival's technologies in one.  That as well as the games is why I am getting the PS move.



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).
