I agree that essentially Sony is trying to do with the Wii's control setup what Nintendo cannot do with the Wii and that is bring it to the HD market. All in all, not a bad idea. How well it will be recieved on the PS3 is a big unknown. Like Microsoft's Natal, Sony is asking PS3 owners to invest in new hardware for their system which historically does not do that well. All of these are interesting ideas, just not sure if they'll fly in the market. It's not the same as the launch of the Wii, since it was it's own whole product that only required the buyer to purchase more of the same controllers. Both the PS3 and the 360 are well established in another market. The PS3's version might be more successful overall because developers can easily make Wii and PS3 versions of the same game, at least in the way they control. In that case, directly ripping off the Wii control scheme might be the path with the greater chance of success. Natal is way out somewhere else and is bigger gamble, from the way I see it. I don't think either manufacturer is playing with odds that I would go to Vegas with, though.
I give this thread a 9.6.
Thank god for the disable signatures option.
