To the casual gamer, this could be seen as "this is what the Wii HD should have been" (as Pacther thinks). Or this could be seen as "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Given the price point, I doubt many people will upgrade from the Wii (as Pacther predicts). But it might cause a few people to think about the versatility of the machine and purchase a new PS3 as opposed to a Wii or Xbox 360. (Or course Natal could do that for the Xbox 360 and the new WS/WSR/WM+ standard package as of May 9 in North America could do that for Wii.). A bigger concern is software. When Brunswick Bowling is included the Game Informer preview, that has me worried. (The game was shovelware on the Wii -- not as good as Wii Sports' Bowling). Mike from Morgantown |
Good Point !
SONY need to differentiate big time or when they launch they will be playing an expensive Motion control system (When you facotr in the cost of the console )off against a really cheap designed to use Motion control from the ground up system.
The PS3 offering could be nearly 3 times as expensive.
I think the casuals will just buy a Wii and the PS3 Hardcore market will be fragmented into Move Lovers and Move Haters.
I hope SONY have a realistic MOVE price point and a whopping advertising budget.
