Miyamoto: MS and Sony motion devices are “threatening”

Perhaps Miyamoto is concerned about the fact that once the competition gets motion controls, there will be less unique characteristics to set the current consoles apart from one another. This was pretty much the case with the last generation consoles. The Gamecube, Xbox, and Playstation 2 were very much alike and didn't have too many unique characteristics besides some exclusives. 

This. I guess this is Sony's and MS goal: filling the conceptual gap. Or better, filling the conceptual gap is the means they try to use to stop disruption. Once they have the capabilities, they can use them in multiple ways: actually releasing good games of new genres or subgenres or playing styles that aren't very present in the typical Nintendo range (this would be the fairest way), or just trying to grab a slice of the pie,  or even overusing some best-selling Nintendo games concepts to make people fed up of them, and this could be the only intelligent, although unfair, reason for the totally uninspired trio of MS launch rip-off titles (particularly dumb if there isn't this purpose, as Natal-Kinect-Kii-Whatever was supposed to be different from Wiimote and used to find new ways to play).

The problem with all that is. They dont have a long lost userbase of players that have not played home consules since the 1980 to flock to stores and buy this.

 

Nintendo targueted the kids that had  NES SNES that now have kids of there own, that havent been gaming for the past 20 years. Ya theres a crap load of them. 

 

MS has nothing like that, and Sonys older user base the ones from Ps1 and Ps2 are just about to have kids of there own.  This is not a bad move for Sony. But having stuck to Hardcore with a message that "In this worls of Waggle fest we will be the ones to push hardcore forward" and will let sony and Nintendo do there little dance. would have been genius , and would have sold them more Consules

 

That way MS could have gathered all the Waggle fest Hater all under one banner.  And let Nintendo&Sony fight.

 

 

launching movment controls is not going to help them sell more consule in my opinion. What it may do is. slow Waggle fest games sold for nintendo to folks that have more then one consule.

And also this makes sense. I'm a little bit disappointed, anyway: I'm not a MS fan, but I hoped it would have launched Natal with more original games and made the fight more interesting.
