Why does it bother you so much, let them copy away, it's going to "fail" anyway according to some. I will buy the Wiimote instead for my PS3. I don't support pirating. |
probably nintendo doesnt has a case.Regarding the success Chances of success of PS wand are slimmer than the Natal to be honest. PS3 buyers often disdain the idea of motion controls in the first place, and older games are not backwards compatible.A few wand supporting titles wont change the idea against it .I really see it hard being a big success, or any kind of success at all. Sony has failed several times in peripherals and modifications( sales:balance board vs eyetoy, DSI vs PSP GO), and i just cant fathom but only the most fervient sony fans to buy the wand even if the wand supporting games do not appeal them. If a player FINALLY decides to make the motion(despite 2 years of wm+) jump next year will be because of the natal, simply because is more different. And thats on the other system. I just think the wand has too many things against it to catch up. IF it does, eventually, it will be around the time of the next console cycle, which will be a little too late. Think about it: the wand introduction will happen with 2 or 3 big games designed for it.If those arent attractive.Or aimed to the "casual" market-that is not very Sony friendly, the sales wont be hot. The wand wont sell like hotcakes, and therefore, the PS3 wont sell any better. Remember, the customers will have the choice of Natal OR Wand.Or the already stablished nintendo library without extra purchases. At this point in the business, the wand has to catch up VERY fast to help sales. Before the next Nintendo console.And thats 2 years away at most.Sony will try for sure, they had bad experiences with the eyetoy after all.
