Basically if he compared the Move's sport games to that of WiiSportsResort, it would be an entirely diffferent article with the two probably being essentially the same. Then it just become preference to visual layout.



If you take ping pong as example, theres a massive difference between the move ping pong VS wii motion plus ping pong. Motion plus still feature avatar moving on track to where the ball is, you decide the force and angle of the racket but not the position in 3D space. In move, the avatar is "you", your arm and racket position is reflected 1:1 in the game 3 D space. You can watch videos on youtube, with an openmind you should see the difference.

To  a limit you do. The pingpong in WSR is on rails and the avatar is controlled for you, so naturally you lack fun control. But you very much have control in a 3D space within the confined permited by the game. You moe it left/rigtht, up/down, it does that.

Nintendo's forced limits on mobility for pingpong do not negate the fact that they operate essentially the same.

Bet no one will ever tell a difference between the two in Tiger Woods golf game as an example or the controls a future COD game that's enhanced for both, etc. You know, games people actually want to play. .... fuckin ping pong for christs sake... btw, I did say 'essentially'... one mini game out of the rest fits in that realm.



I assumed the comparison was with the motion plus, which also does not have exact 1-to-1 like the move does.

Clearly you havn't used it.

Unfortunately for Sony this won't help them, most people will look at it and see a Wii clone, and buy a Wii instead

Actually ping pong is an example of many games. Obviously, its not always Nintendo limiting the control to make the game more accessible. But, I agree that if a game have moderate speed and small movement, Wiimotionplus is 1 : 1.

I simply wanted to point you that theres a difference between Move and Wiimotionplus. Ping pong style game was a very good example because it features fast and large movement, like tennis or bowling, but is already watchable on Move and Wii. Im pretty sure that we will see more game featuring those type of movements on Move because it works better with it, ping pong or gladiator being good examples.

Nice input. However, it would be better if they compared apples to apples in relation to the Wiimote. Noone would argue that Move's fidelity is noticeably better than the Wiimote alone, however, it really should include the addition of WMplus.

To me, in the end its basically a choice in value and based on the fact that a 2person Move setup is dramatically more expensive than a 2 person Wii setup for essentially the same motion experience, Wii wins.

So the real selling difference is the same one that has always existed. The overall game and usability choices as compared to their repsective prices. I think the last few years has proven, Wii wins again.

However, I am glad I own both (Wii/PS3) and RE5 and other shooter experience *may* convince me to spend the $$. But, a $200 price to add 2player move to my PS3 is just ... wow.

I would have agreed with the WM comparison if there had been more games for it. Aren't the only games that use it right now WSR and Red Steel 2? With Wii Party and Zelda coming?



WAIT till they start advertising it with coke!

Come on, who doesn't drink coke?
