Well not necessarily boxing, any 4 player game in which a person needs two wands.

Also LAN gaming is still preferred by most over Internet gaming, Sony would be unwise to ignore that

i really don't think that will be an issue

no console can challenge the console king of party games.  if people want to play party games, they will go to the other console

that's not saying there will be no party games released on PS3 that utilize motion control

i believe those games will be designed in the way that you only need the wands (1 wand per person) to play them.

So Sony is not going for mass market appeal?  If so then they are not going to have much market penetration of the wand

let me put it this way...  it's not the "nunchuk" that makes the Wii massively popular.  it's the Wiimote and Wii balance board.

everyone seems to agree motion control is the best control scheme for shooting game.

i think that's the market Sony is going after, before Nintendo release the HD version of Wii.

in my opinion, it's quite smart of Sony only replacing the right analog stick with the wand so it's easier for the developers and the gamers can choose either way to play shooting games.

 

No its the software and this limits the appeal, most people are going to find the Dualshock plus wand uncomfortable, especially for games where they have to move around,  having dual wands seems like an excessive expense for the game that would benefit from it, and the fact that the amount of LAN gaming will be limited by the technology will not benefit Sony, so far this is not sounding like a success.
