| RolStoppable said: Just because the casuals are portrayed as being stupid, doesn't mean that they are actually stupid. They'll figure what the original is and what a copycat is. That's also the reason why third party Wii games which imitate Nintendo games come nowhere close in sales. So if the casuals aren't exactly willing to buy copycats on a console they already own, what makes you think that they would by an entire new system for a copycat game? What I actually expect to happen is that Sony's motion controls will work counterproductive for the PS3. First, hardcore gamers will be annoyed that money is invested in games not aimed at them and second, people who are actually interested in motion controlled games will realize the superiority of the Wii controller and the size and variety of the Wii software library. Instead of garnering additional PS3 sales, it's more likely that Sony's wand will generate more Wii sales by signaling to the market that motion controls are here to stay. |
Ban this man seriously can you believe some of the stuff he writes?
Customers are not stupid? Developers shouldnt make cheap rip offs that dont sell because the customers dont want it. Ridiculous.
It is more likely to benefit in families where the adults are into gaming other than for the sake of joining in somehting with the kids. One of my friends bought a Wii since the kids wanted motion controls. He doesn't really like it or most of the games though, I mentioned this to him and he said if enough childrens games used it he would probably get a PS3 and get rid of the Wii. PS3 has quite a few kids games, Disney movies, LEGO games and such (these are what his kids really love, the LEGO), if these get support for it I think more families with knowledgable gamer parents may chose a PS3.
Yeah tell him to buy a PS3 so he can buy shovelware for his kids. Classy move.
The PS3 is a TERRIBLE choice for a family console. Most of its best software are made for an older audiance. No one has ever tried to argue it once that the 360 or PS3 are an ideal family console until NOW when Microsoft and Sony are trying to copy Nintendo now, but they dont the SOFTWARE to back this statement up.
Sony and Microsoft completly dumped the family and kids market. Most of there money goes towards there older audiances games and it shows. No one here is willing to hype there family friendly stuff, unless it brings potential to get back at that Nintendo *shakes fist*
