PlayStation "Move"....

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.

the perfect example was grinder:

was a Wii only 3rd party game. now it went multi-platform.

the one thing Nintendo has going for the system and which I might add is Quite fantastic is it's motion control's.

but

on the same token, by what Sony and Microsoft have done is make an Enticing offer to 3rd party Wii only development as there are now 2 more platform's to port exclusive Wii only application's.

before Wii only application's were made with the Wii in mind "which had that only control scheme"

now there are two more option's on the table.

with the list of Support and Microsoft has been able to gather, it look's pretty good. this I think this not only helps Microsoft and Sony but also maybe even more Wii hardcore game's could be made because of it"

there is just too many Wii's in the market place to ignore

there is just too many Playstation 3's in the market place to ignore

there is just too many Xbox360's in the market place to ignore

3rd party's want to make as much money as they can this just allow's for more money to be made all around.

win/win
