| binary solo said: I seem to recall mentioning that "potential Wii audience" you speak of in my post. In case you missed it, here it is again '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"'. Such people will say the same thing about Natal, and it'll be the cheapest of all HD+motion control options to boot; which is why Kevin Butler had to talk smack about Natal. Fact is Move (and Natal) are seeking to make inroads into that not yet fully tapped out market you mention. A market that heretofore was solely Nintendo's. Reggie would be stupid to not to worry, because the motion control hardware Sony and MS have produced are every bit as good as Wii's, which means Wii stands to lose a substantial amount of the blue ocean if they don't front foot it. |
42% of PS3 owners already have a Wii as well. Meanwhile just 14% of Wii owners have a PS3. This is why you hear Sony PR already pushing the "graduate to Move" path for Wii owners, and mindless analysts parroting it for their "PS3 eventually takes over" narrative they've been trying to sell the past four years. They're not trying to sell people who've yet to buy a console, they're literally trying to sell to current Wii owners.
If consumers are in the market for an HD console and a console with motion controls, 360+Wii comes out to the same price as PS3+Move, and the former has by far the better library (Wii vs Move moreso than 360 vs PS3). The mainstream wants Wii Fit and Mario, which is what your scenario seems to omit; it's the software stupid.
