I'm actually rethinking of buying a Wii now thanks to PlayStation Move

Let me preface this by saying that I am not making any final judgments on the product yet, these are just my initial impressions:

#1 - That bulb looks like it is begging to get smashed.

#2 - Third parties, basically the same ones who voiced support for the Wii, voicing support for PS Move means nothing. If these developers came up with hardly anything worthwhile for the Wii, why are they all of a sudden going to develop these amazing games for a system that has sold a huge number less consoles, for a peripheral that will most likely have a low to moderate attach rate?

#3 - Wii, minus Nintendo's first party, is a door stop. PS Move, right now, looks like Wii minus Nintendo's first party, except you can't use it as a door stop because the bulb would just break. And yes, I know Sony has a first party too, but it doesn't have the same kind of recognition to draw people in, and on a peripheral device at this price, I fear for the success of it in terms of attach rate to existing PS3 consoles. When Nintendo releases a first party game, it generally sells pretty huge, at least in terms of the big name IPs, Mario, Zelda, etc. Sony doesn't have a proven first party franchise that is going to sell units the way Mario would, or Zelda. Even something like God of War, a huge PS exclusive franchise, does not light the world on fire in terms of sales, and that is without the need to buy a $100 peripheral to play the game.

Anything could happen, and maybe this thing will be the greatest thing ever released, and change gaming forever, but right now the forecast seems to be calling for a monsoon of bullshit.

LOL. Oh man, so much win here. And my thoughts exactly.

@Innervate:Thinking the same thing.
