| Squilliam said: No the real issue is this: How to get people who weren't enthused by the original Wii concept and games, weren't enthused by motion+ and games, and who haven't got a game console to purchase the PS3 with Move for at least 50% more than the original Wii which doesn't come with either WS or WS2 when all I have seen thus far are duplicates of done and dusted Wii games AND when both Mod Nation and Gran Turismo don't look to be suitable for emulation of the Wiis most successful 'gamer' product Mario Kart. |
The pricing / game bundles haven't been announced yet, but either way the premise is that you can get motion games and access to all PS3 games for less than $100 plus the cost of a standard PS3 console, which is less than the cost of a PS3 + Wii. Plus they can market it to existing Wii owners who might otherwise not want to give up the motion games.
Personally though I think it is more about not losing existing customers who might otherwise buy a Wii and stop buying PS3 games.

I disagree with your "marginal library" comment, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Anyhow, since they already invested in the hardware, why wouldn't they invest in the software? Also, with the Move being very similar to the Wii Motion+, I expect to see a lot of 3rd-party Wii ports on the PS3 to fill that void.
If Sony was just able to release a Wii emulator, they'd be set :) Either that or just copy the Wii's successful games :)
