Pepride a wii fanboy? Ok, you officially get the Dunce of the Day award. Congrats!



I am not looking forward to any of the "new" 10 year old technologies. They are just modern versions of EyeToy. I wish they wouldn't have been announced. I fear the hype following all of this "new" technology will come at the cost of the end of gaming. I am a true gamer. I was gaming before it became popular and I still game today. The new Wii gimics might be a lot of fun to a lot of people, but there in no doubt it is not traditional gaming. I enjoy traditinal gaming. I love using a simple controller. I don't want to see traditional gaming become a thing of the past. When developers stop making controller support, I will stop gaming.



I have moved and do not have the internet at home, yet.

Relax Wii fanboy.
At least we had played that 'gimmick' thing 3 years EARLIER than all of 'em! HAR HAR HAR.....!!!!



No this is a sony fanboy angered by sony and scared by Microsoft.

OT: I'm sorry but this thread = fail.



GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Best thing about the PSwand is that it will be able to work with or without the Eye. It's still a wireless controller at the end of the day with an internal motion sensor that picks up and transmits motion. The eye is mostly necessary for spacial orientation. This gives devs options to create games using the internal motion sensing tech of the wand alone, or use both the wand and the eye.

And don't forget PS3 had sixaxis from launch, so they've had motion controls from the get go this gen. Ask anyone who's played Motorstorm whether Sony are supporting motion control in hardcore games. Sony are not Johnny come latelys to motion control, but they are behind on the level of sophistication used in their system.

I've always wanted more motion control and better use of eyetoy. But I like the PS suite of games more than Nintendo's to the point where I was willing to forgo better motion control for the games I like best.

I hated this kind of stuff since the eyetoy days.... Heck, since the arcade shooter with actual gun days....

Thats the main problem.  Sony themselves hardly supported the motion controls they had AT LAUNCH. 

So why should we expect more from them whenever this thing come out for them to support it? 

 

Its hardly compeition when your launching what will be a year later after motionplus, motionplus will have market saturation by then.  Its like a kid shoving all his mess under the bed and saying his room is clean.  It doesn't fix anything. 

 

Thats what I found dumb about the announcement of these two and how people are acting.  Its simply too late for Microsoft, Sony or third partys to jump on this bandwagon now.  Everyone knows the Wii/Nintendo for motion controls, suddenly after three years the other two bring it in it only shows one thing.  Desperation. 



Even now, three years after the Wii launched, Sony and MS lag behind, I mean Nintendo will have Motion plus out in a few weeks, but Sony and MS's motion controllers won't be out until next year at the earliest, in addition Nintendo has compelling software coming out for Motion Plus, while Sony and MS just have tech demos



 

Predictions:Sales of Wii Fit will surpass the combined sales of the Grand Theft Auto franchiseLifetime sales of Wii will surpass the combined sales of the entire Playstation family of consoles by 12/31/2015 Wii hardware sales will surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2 by 12/31/2010 Wii will have 50% marketshare or more by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  It was a little over 48% only)Wii will surpass 45 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2008 (I was wrong!!  Nintendo Financials showed it fell slightly short of 45 million shipped by end of 2008)Wii will surpass 80 Million in lifetime sales by the end of 2009 (I was wrong!! Wii didn't even get to 70 Million)

I would be more angry at sony and microsoft if I didn't have a choice in the matter. If i had to buy these new controls to play their up-coming games then I 'd be more pissed. But since I don't have to buy them, it doesn't bother me so much. Personally I would have liked to see the money that was invested in this new technology put towards the budgets of big games I'm looking forward to such as gears 3 or god of war 3
