Imo, I think anyone that doesn't want the Move to fail should hope that Sony provides a large amount and variety of quality, fun, innovative, unique FAMILY-ORIENTED games for the Move. Just for the record, these aren't the games I am interested in the Move for, BUT I think these are the only games that are going to drive high sales bc I think motion control gaming attracts adults and families much more than it does ppl who are hardcore gamers.
The major reason the Wii is succeeding is because it has appealed to a mass market with 1)a simple control scheme that requires a low learning curve, thus attracting adults/families and even the elderly (the residents at the nursing home I work at used fundraising $ to buy a Wii for all the residents in the home); and 2)fun, family-oriented games that are fun to play together while containing minimum violence and obviously no swearing, sex, drugs, and other themes that many parents find distasteful for themselves and their children.
Price has an impact as well, although I don't think it's quite as significant of a reason for the Wii's success, because I think that when people truly want something, a good majority of them simply force it into their budget to afford the product (look at the iphone: crazy expensive phone coupled with a crazy expensive monthly phone plan, yet ppl ranging from rich, to comfortable, to average, to poor own one).
