Forums - Sony Discussion - 2012 is a ‘Relaunching Year’ For PlayStation Move

JWeinCom on 20 April 2012

Sorcery looked kind of fun, but nowhere near enough to revitalize the failing Move market. The Wii U will steal any potential hype away from it, not to mention inevitable PS5/720 announcements.

PlayStation Move was more successful than the EyeToy was and there should have been a stronger effort put in at the early months after launch to make this a dominating system. Sony didn't have the resources to do it and now Sorcery will not be a system seller for it. Sure it might have some decent numbers, but Move will need to be re-branded to mean something.

Andrew House might come up with something, but there needs to be a full bundling initiative where all PS3 models have the entire Move hardware in the package. That won't happen because the average consumer will never see the cost value a bundle like that would have over just another price cut.

This is loose loose. Notice how much Kinect gets hate yet nobody talks about Move....thats because its even more condemned that its common sense. The only ***Move centric*** games above 70 on metacritic are Eye Pet and Sports Champions.

Too much time has passed and now its an uphill battle. Every move specific title Sony invests is just more money they arent putting into core dualshock 3 games, same thing with MS. But at least MS has a winner on its hands...this is just throwing money away.

They've sold over 9 million pieces of Move hardware and have stated that they don't lose money on each one, so I would hardly call it throwing money away. I'd also argue on the quality front that you can play some great games with Move, even if they aren't 'Move centric' as you say, like RE5, KZ3, Child of Eden, Heavy Rain, that No More Heroes port (though I don't like it), House of the Dead etc

The move install base is much lower, hardly justifiable to make move centric titles. I meant throwing money away developing move centric titles, judging by sorcery hype and preorders...and thats supposed to be a flagship Move title for 2012. 

Those dualshock 3 games with move support is just to inflate the list of move compatible games and we all know it, coupled with most just use the controller that came with the PS3 to play those games. 



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Don't forget about Datura, looks amazing as well. Sorcery does look like a solid game and they had a great video on the last episode of Qore.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Yeah I hate having more control options available to me in my games.

Thats so cliche. You know full well that second option isnt even considered by most.

Right, the software isn't lighting up the charts for sure, but the hardware has done much better than most people including myself realised. And..'inflate the list of move compatible games'? Yeh, it's called a company providing incentives to buy a system. I don't see how they're somehow illegitimate because they have two control schemes. Hell, they're better than any other Move or Kinect 'specific' games I've seen.

Didnt say its illegitimate but its clear inflation. Because Im sure people didnt go running to stores buying move when they heard that RE5 had Move support. 

Its a bullet point on a spreadsheet so they can wow people at E3 saying "we have ____ Move titles".

There's only one thing that can save the PlayStation Move.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance.

If they can show an amazing demo at E3 '12 for Metal Gear Rising, it could turn the tides for PlayStation Move.
