Sweep on 11 March 2010
| brythoma said: Pricing is definitely gonna be an issue for sony when it comes to the success of Move. I was just reading thru IGNs impressions of the demos shown at GDC, and I was suprised at how many of the games require 2 wands to play. If the basic bundle only includes the PSeye, 1 wand, and 1 nunchuck for under $100, i'd have to pay an extra $40+ for a second wand. I dunno, that and IGNs impressions of the demos shown(although still in-progress) arent making me very optimistic about its chances of taking off. Before GDC I was thinking about picking it up, but im gonna just wait and see if they reveal any killer app that really sets it apart from just being a straight up wii clone, hopefully E3 will provide those answers. I think the competition will really put on the pressure come Holiday 2010: - if i were nintendo, i'd probably just upgrade the basic console SKU with Wii sports resort and motion + -if i were microsoft, I'd would be start bundling every $299 elite SKU with Natal instead of cutting the price this year. One benefit of Natal is that out of the box you would already be able to support 4 players without spending the extra $150-$300 in additional controllers/accessories. I really think this is gonna play a huge role in making Natal a breakout success- its about word of mouth, and getting as many people as possible to try it out. I dont think people realize how huge this is. Either way, sony is gonna have to give me better reasons to invest that much money in these controllers besides being able to play FPS games with IR pointer-like capabilities |
We have yet to see how a multiplayer Natal Game works...Something's telling me that it will not be...easy....
