Why are some Nintendo fans angry with Move?

Threads about upcoming PS3 games (big ones or ones that are expected to be big) usually have not much that trouble to reach a good amount of posts within a couple of weeks because Sony fans love the hype more than any other group on this forum. Move isn't just a new peripheral with one game, there have already been about a dozen of games shown off, so there should be plenty of material to discuss. I drew my conclusion that there isn't much interest in Move's games from the two aforementioned points.

In my very first response to you I said that the problem is twosided. It's Sony fans vehemently denying that Move is a copy or Nintendo fans trying to rub it in. The argument isn't always initiated by the same side, so both groups are to blame.

sorry for the late answer, i have been away.

 but i believe the argument has reached the stage of repeating itself anyway.

 in the end you said it right, it's all about what we choose to believe.

but at least you made a strong point for the sony fans by stating they are not as excited about motion controls as some nintendo fans claim them to be, by calling them hypocrites now that the move was announced! but in reality it seems the majority really didn't want any Motion controls after all.

I think it is of importance to note that excitement about Move and excitement about Move's current games isn't the same thing, because even if someone likes motion controls and doesn't care which system the game is on, what has been shown so far isn't anything special. Another important point is that the vocal minority that hypes Move for its superior technology isn't exactly excited about the games shown so far either.

The motive behind praising Move in its current form (which means everything we know about it so far) is most likely the wish that it slows down or stops Nintendo's success with the Wii (the same thing applies to Natal and the hopes that are put in it). It's just like a game that gets hyped not because the person who enthusiastically talks about it actually wants to buy it, but rather what it could do for the success of the console it is on.

And the motive behind criticizing the move is the wish that the games will stay nothing special?

But i agree, all those sports and party games don't look anything special. Not really anything to get excited about. Unfortunately that's the games that sell on Wii, and i am afraid that is what Natal and Move are aimed at. Sony and Microsoft don't need to aim for the hardcore, they already have the Hardcore, they want the casuals now.
