Most of Wii's major games are 1st party...so no...I don't think it's going to trouble Wii in general...but what was the major appeal of Wii? |
I'm guessing you think the PS3 wands will really take off? How much of the PS3 userbase do you believe will buy this ps eye/wand combo? Honestly, I don't think it'll even get many Wii ports, since it won't be worth the trouble. The ratio of Wii : PS3 wand userbase will probably be something like the PS2:GC ratio.
It's easy to figure out the Wii's appeal - accessibility. Take a look at the games, Wii Fit, Wii Sports/Resort, Mario Kart Wii. The remote is easy to figure out, as is the interface (point & click). Everyday people can figure it out. The PS3 doesn't really excel here, we have yet to see the games (Sony first party seems unable to capture the mass market), and I'm unsure how the new interface will look (if they're changing it).
Anyway, it's not just all about the technology. If the PSP Go had a touchscreen, it does not mean the DS would be in trouble. People overlook the software too often - it's all about games, games, games. People don't care about what's under the hood, they only care about the experience. Also, they tend to like simpler gameplay mechanics (look at top selling games), so even if the wands were superior, it wouldn't really mean anything, because most people couldn't tell the difference.
