Reggie: Move is “Wii-too”

Reggie talking smack about PS Move is good for the PS Move.

It means they're worried. The worst sign for Move's potential would be if Nintendo completely ignored it.

Reggie should chose his words more carefully though. Saying Move does basically the same thing as Wii means PS3 owners can say to themselves "so I don't need to think about getting a Wii any more." And people yet to get into this generation can say. "Cool, I can get excellent HD games AND Wiimote style games all in one package" *does the maths* "Yep and it'll be cheaper overall to get PS3+Move than to get PS3 + Wii"

Exciting software? He obviously hasn't seen that Endgadget tech demo. That looks SWEET!

He's 100% correct. It'll come down to the games and other software applications. I think any fair minded person will acknowledge that Sony 1st party studios make some pretty good games. And 2nd and 3rd parties have done some pretty good work on Sony systems too (including PS3 + 360). He's right to be worried about Sony's 1st party studios putting a decent amount of resource behind Move development, because the talent is unquestionably there there.

And that's why Reggie feels the need to go on the offensive against PS Move.

Is the market large enough for an HD console at that price? Do you think the majority of buyers are going to pay that rather large price? What about the vast lead the Wii will have on adoption for motion? Reggie cannot ignore something he is being asked about can he? I guess he could say he had no comment, but that would be twisted by some journalist or other.
