Do we know the PSWand doesn't have 3rd parties on board? The only 3rd party studio I've read about who mentioned Natal also said they are working on the Wand too. And isn't RE5 made by a 3rd party...which is confirmed as having PSWand functionality? 

Not really.  So far Activision Blizzard, Capcom, THQ, EA, Take 2, Bethesda Softworks, Disney Interactive, Namco Bandai, Konami, Square Enix, Sega, MTV Games, Grasshopper Manufacture and Ubisoft have all committed game support to Project Natal.  Namco, EA and SE (Taito) all had playable E3/TGS demos.  And it's still a year away, with a rumored 14+ launch games at retail.

So far EA and Capcom have committed to PS3 Motion support.  They each announced one game (RE5AE and Grand Slam Tennis) with the demo for the former first showing at TGS.  And it releases in March, with (so far) one retail game and maybe some PSN titles.

Sony haven't even announced who's supporting the wand.

Well, it comes out in just a few months... what are they waiting for exactly?

They don't need to announce who's supporting the wand. No point really. They should let the software at launch do the talking.

Launch is only 4 months away... again, what's everyone waiting for?  Is it going to launch with just RE5Gold?

Ape Escape

Under Siege

Motion Party

RE5: Alternate Edition

LBP Motion

Eyepet

Echochrome 2

Eccentric Soldier

Sing and Draw

Champions of Time

The Shoot

Tower

PAIN!

Flower

Hustle Kings

High Velocity Bowling

 

Those are what are announced. I might've missed a few. I'll see gameplay before I judge.

So let me get this straight.... Natal can't possibly have 14 games and all these supporting devs with games ready by Fall 2010 (about 14-18 months after receiving the dev kits), yet the PS3 Wan is supposed to have all these games ready for launch after just 8-12 months??  Or are these just brief rumor/announced games and none have been claimed to be launch titles yet?

With just a few months till release of PS3 Wand, I think it's a bad sign when nothing has been seen besides RE5 and no solid release dates have been given.  Perhaps the Wand will be delayed to launch at the same time as Natal?

Where did I say that? I clearly stated that if devs are struggling with the Wii, then I can't see how they'll get AAA quality and high selling software right off the bat so easily, given the new design. Mainly the first party games are what will shine. The mentioned games are first and second party games with RE5 being the only exception. Plus, they said they've been working on it for a long time (after all, the wands, if I'm not mistaken, were in the works since the eyetoy days http://www.joystiq.com/2009/06/17/sony-motion-control-in-development-since-the-days-of-eyetoy/ ).

 

Media coverage helps, but is not the deciding factor on success. High quality software and price points are. Must I remind everyone what happened in 2006 with the PS3? So bottom line is, you can't dismiss the wands so quickly, Natal and the spheres are both dependent primarily on software at launch, and the price. Company support means nothing without software announced (PlayStation Home says hi, even though it is getting decent support now).
