well they wont lose me. i like advancement in gaming in all aspects because it improve my gaming experience. whether it is user interface, graphics, physics, story and all the other directions for advancement. the problem i had with the wii was that it only advancement was the interface everything else was still last gen imo. i still enjoyed playing it and never said anything bad about it except maybe about precision and some other things (never used motion+). it had a great advantage the others didnt have.
oh and people saying about the price, and that it is a copy. there has been know price stated yet and i doubt it will go up to $500, $400 would probably be the most imo. quite alot of the features have been copied from the wii and there no denying the similarity's that the games have, but there are video's of this tech being demonstrated on you tube going back as far as 2004, and the ps moveye (combined move and eye because i feel sony is missing the point) has the eye as well which was its original purpose, sony identified problems with the camera, like the need for buttons, it was also suppose to do alot more (eyedentify comes to mind). it was suppose to do everything natal promises. which is another point, albeit slightly of topic, sony showed respect to wii, were as peter molyneux and microsoft claims natal is new and revolutionary.

You doubt it will go to $500? I was talking about people who don't have a PS3 (since this is all about getting new customers), so it's $300 for the system, "under $100" for 1 controller and game and eye, but what about other controllers? I wouldn't be surprised if the starter pack is $99.99, though I'm actually guessing around $80. And for extra controller sets? It will almost definitely be over $500. People don't buy the Wii for a compelling single player experience (typically), they buy a Wii for a fun multiplayer/social experience.
Again, I don't think Sony will lose fans, but I also don't believe they will pull many in.

my reasoning for it not reaching $500 is that it is trying to get away from being to exspensive and appealing to everyone (not just casual or hardcore) there its only does everything advertising was based around that point, building bridges and fading the lines and hoping the mainstream is in between. my first paragraph was based on the thread were its about ps3 fans and we generally do care about a compelling single player experience. we generally care about a all rounded experience.

I hear what you're saying, but then the controller alone (without the subcontroller) would need to be under $40. 300 for the system, still guessing 80 for the starter set, and 40 for 3 more controllers (remember, this is about a social, multiplayer experience if Sony wants to bring in Wii owners). That already adds up $500, which is why I'm pretty sure for that whole set, it will be over $500. Then if you also NEED the subcontrollers, it's even more (though slightly).
And I completely agree, Sony fans typically adore a compelling single-player experience. I noticed that a long time ago.
