Is the PS-Move a Wii-mote ripoff/knockoff?

Yes and no.

Yes in that it consists of one or two motion controllers held in your hands with 1:1 motion control and a wrist strap, and it has a pretty much identical lineup.

No in that it has a coloured ball on the end.

In all seriousness, I don't see how Wii fans can call this a Wiimote ripoff and say it sucks in the same breath. It IS a Wiimote ripoff, that much is pretty clear. It's just a rather advanced Wiimote ripoff for use with an HD system.

That's the issue Kantor, Wii fans have been defending how great motion control is compared the HD console for years, remember how R4 was better on the Wii because of motion control. It's the innovation that changed the world, created new market, and now Stupid Sony copied it and made it just as good or better. It must suck then.

Now I expect :

1. it's too expensive

2. where are the games?

3. at least mine has Zelda and Mario

4. There is no room left in this vast casual market.

5. It sucks no matter how good it is.

 

1 and 2, I agree with. "Under $100" isn't really saying much, and to be honest, the games they've shown for it so far are pretty poor for the most part.

But, we'll have to wait and see. They didn't pour huge amounts of money and years of development into this thing to mess it up now.
