PlayStation "Move"....

When the Dual Analog came out for the PS1, many games had a configuration for the original and analog controller. The only "Must Use Dual Shock" game didn't come for years (Ape Escape). Still, even the games that weren't analog still functioned with the Dual Analog/Dual Shock. It was a good move.

I assume many upcoming games will feature a "Playstation Move" configuration, too. Maybe even some older games will be patched to use the device. I just don't know if that's the best way to market the device as a must have.  Part of me thinks that this is just technology that exists just so Sony can say, "We have the technology".  Anything that the Wii and 360 will be able to do, the PS3 will technically be able to do, too.  But the games that are Move Only won't move huge numbers because it's a peripheral.  It will be limited to only those that own the peripheral.  Any game that is useable with both the Move (I preferred "Arc") and the Dual Shock 3 will probably have a legion of gamers who think, "If I can use a DS3, why do I need to buy a Move?"  I think Nintendo did it best when they decided that the Wii Remote/Nunchuck would be the ONLY source of input for most games.  Using a controller wasn't even an option.

This is Sony's battle to win or lose.  I'm sure some sort of strategy is in place.  Plus, playing a game like RE4: Wii Edition on an HD console is a dream come true.  The Move definitely isn't a bad thing.  I just can't figure out how it will be a HUGE thing.

well that's one way of looking at it,

but also did not Nintendo release a ton of peripheral's for the Wii also?

the point be it's more of a controller than changing the entire system to fit one way.

the PS3 will still use DS3 for game's, the point is which was the Wii has game's made for the SYSTEM that used the Control scheme of it's setup.

that's how developer's made the majority of it's game's. Sony is playing to that strength, nintendo 1st party would not port their software on other motion control's of other Machine's, but 3rd party may.

that's why that List that Sony has already released for the Playstation Moves support  is saying alot without having to say very much of anything.

by offering another platform those developer's can port those Wii centric Application's over to the PS3 it's now another platform.

It's alway's the Software. I think many are concentrating on IT vs' the Wii instead of what Software may be Made for the Playstation Move.

which we have seen so little of and the Playstation Move is still in it's early stages on software build's I would wait until after E3 at least.

to see any real indication of support software.
