1. oh, didn't notice it. 

Even though Sony is treating it like a new console, that doesn't mean it IS a new console. At the end of the day, it's just and add-on. If you see it as a new console, then sure, it sucks as. I see it as a peripheral with an awesome lineup. 

Fair enough.  Sony evidently sees it like a new console though, and this lineup what they'd consider "bringing motion to the hardcore" I guess...

^ Jarrod, you're just awesome (no)

i'm really happy with the support that move is getting, add the awesome support for the console itself, and you've an amazing year for ps3 users!

I think if sony is trying to tap the Wii market, they need to drop the price of their system to $249 or some even $199 (which won't happen). It's cause Move is expensive, just like Kinect, and they overrate how many people actually want to buy it after a $300 system.

Massive.... fanboy... overload.

Who would have ever thought an inflammatory post by a Sony PR so adept at making such statements would cause so much hullabaloo on an internet message board.

OT.  Good one Sony.  I am as hardcore as they come, and I was introduced to the Wii years ago.  I'll still be buying MOVE though.

lol theres a sony for everything :P its kinda scary they seem to do everything lol

Well I've already played some core games with very good in depth motion control. Godfather: Blackhand was amazing as is Metroid Prime 3.

I agree about the price although I think they don't want their market to ovelap too much with Wii's one. But even in this case your point is valid, the entry price must not be too high.

A cut to $249 should be enough, as the total price for PS3 and the minimum Move complete kit purchased separately would be $348, but they could price entry level bundles quite lower, around $329 like lots other PS3 bundles.

Jerrod, you're being silly.

First of all, regardless if Sony considers PlayStation Move to be a new platform, it's still a peripheral. You can't play games with just a PlayStation Eye connected to your TV and a Move controller. You need a PS3. Nobody should fall for Sony's PR crap as easy as that.

Second of all, if you take the time to read the link you yourself referenced, you see that Sony never stated that they're treating PlayStation move as a new platform when it comes to games which is the topic at hand. I'll quote directly from your link:

"Sony is treating it as if they are “launching a new platform,” says Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida; when it comes to pricing, that is."

Yoshida's quote was regarding pricing, and that alone. Not game support.

Also I'd like to point out that while Kinect has more third party games currently announced for it than for Move (18 vs. 14), Sony has 26 games announced in development for Move where Microsoft has only 7 announced for Kinect. You're praising Kinect for having 4 more third party titles announced while making light of the fact that Move has 19 more first party games announced. It's also worth noting that of those 26 first party Move games, half are being developed by independent third-party studios.

LAWL epic fail...thanks for pointing that out mate
