Once again, Sony themselves have said Move isn't being handled like a "peripheral", it's being handled like a full new platform launch (echoing Microsoft previous Natal PR I might add). 

Move's lineup sucks ass from a core perspective.


1. Link?

2. That's your opinion. I personally thinks it's awesome.

1. I linked in my previous statement.  Read the thread.

2. By any objective measure, it's pretty bad.  If Nintendo came out and announced a similar lineup for Wii 2/HD/whatever, they'd be ridiculed mercilessly.

1. oh, didn't notice it. 

Even though Sony is treating it like a new console, that doesn't mean it IS a new console. At the end of the day, it's just and add-on. If you see it as a new console, then sure, it sucks as. I see it as a peripheral with an awesome lineup. 


Fair enough.  Sony evidently sees it like a new console though, and this lineup what they'd consider "bringing motion to the hardcore" I guess...

Jerrod, you're being silly.

First of all, regardless if Sony considers PlayStation Move to be a new platform, it's still a peripheral. You can't play games with just a PlayStation Eye connected to your TV and a Move controller. You need a PS3. Nobody should fall for Sony's PR crap as easy as that.

Second of all, if you take the time to read the link you yourself referenced, you see that Sony never stated that they're treating PlayStation move as a new platform when it comes to games which is the topic at hand. I'll quote directly from your link:

"Sony is treating it as if they are “launching a new platform,” says Sony Worldwide Studios boss Shuhei Yoshida; when it comes to pricing, that is."

Yoshida's quote was regarding pricing, and that alone. Not game support.

Also I'd like to point out that while Kinect has more third party games currently announced for it than for Move (18 vs. 14), Sony has 26 games announced in development for Move where Microsoft has only 7 announced for Kinect. You're praising Kinect for having 4 more third party titles announced while making light of the fact that Move has 19 more first party games announced. It's also worth noting that of those 26 first party Move games, half are being developed by independent third-party studios.
