@NJ - Yup, as said, the system for the nunchuck will keep Sony or MS from being able to make a handheld thumbstick system anywhere near similar, which is what Sony is trying to find a way around. It seems that the business Sony is trying to provide, since it already has a core audience, is to use the Gem as a method of drawing in the casual crowd. Listening/reading to their press conferences regarding it from E3 onward, it really seems they are planning to push it for quick casual gaming moreso than intergrating it for the core audience. Ultimately, time will tell, but Sony's got it's work cut out for itself in trying to figure out a method for character movement. I'd expect a hendheld d-pad.
edit:
@lolsiclaw - its not worth arguing with Montana, he doesn't apologize, ever, even if caught red-handed at the murder scene.
