So a family that has a PS3 because the father wants to play GT5 maybe, will never buy a Move for the kids, so they can play EyePet and Start the Party?

Again, just an example.

EDIT: I'm not saying the PS3 will dominate the casual market or anything, but Sony have different content for different people. I'm getting the Move to use it with LittleBigPlanet 2, Killzone 3, Heavy Rain and Ape Escape for example, and I'll definitely want the Nav controller, but it's not the case for everyone.

That doesn't HELP Sony at all... It's nice that they are doing all this, but the point of doing this was to broaden the audience to their console... they chose the cheaper route and the more familiar one I guess with the assumption it would be easier for them to bring in the Wii gamers with something familiar.  I don't know... seems they are not sure of the Move being much more then a secondary controller... they should have hit it harder... not "you can play this game with either", but with "this game was build from the ground up specifically for this controller"

I think it will come down to marketing a lot, Sony does have games that appeal to the more casual audience, and with the right marketing, I think they could manage to expand the PS3 audience. They had that thing with Subway was it? Where you could come play with the Move and get a free sandwich in LA or something. They're still the only ones doing augmented reality games on home consoles, and I think that will be something they can sell games on.
