I really doubt that Sony motion wand will have any impact, Wii have captured the casual market, Ps3 and MS can try to get some share but its going to be marginal compared to nintendo

Blah blah blah trolling blah blah blah.

I for one am excited for the PS3 Gem/Wand/Sphere, since there's an opportunity for re-making a lot of amazing PS3 games (whether exclusive or multiplatform) with motion controls.

I agree with you, but what you said doesn't mean he was trolling.

In fact depending on what Microsoft does with Natal and the reception of the PS3 wand, I could actually trade my 360 for a PS3.

 

I was just annoyed because it really had little to do with the thread at hand except pushing Nintendo superiority.

I hope all the motion control schemes do well, but the PS-Sphere just seems like it would help the PS3 become a strong HD alternative to the Wii for a lot of people. And that could be very beneficial for Sony. I just hope they don't mess it up like they do with a lot of things.

Yeah the PS3 could become a sort of Wii HD. I just hope that RE5 demo with a dualshock + wand simultaneously was just a retarded preliminary idea that won't be the final product...

The issue I see is really whether Sony will have a nunchuk-equivalent or not. Some people say Nintendo's patents would interfere with that, it would be good to know if that's really the case.
