This is what Sony and Microsoft fail to understand about their motion controllers. It's all about the software. Software comes first! Saying "look, we have this crazy new controller interface!", showing some snazzy tech demos, then announcing a bunch of Wii clones ain't gonna cut it. Wii Sports made the Wii what it is, and other, fresher software releases have kept that momentum going. We're currently at a low point in terms of new software releases, and the Wii is suffering in sales as a result. We'll see how things go with Sony and Microsoft's foray into Nintendo's territory this Christmas, but I doubt it'll be pretty. |
How do you know that they fail to understand this? Theres a difference between knowing and doing, so even people who know what to do can and do fail to pull it off. I personally see nothing wrong with the software they are offering. Even if they each only have a few games which sell a few million each, each good game is a system seller if you call the peripherals the system in that sense. I personally don't share your pessimism in relation to the new interfaces.
P.S. You are evil incarnate for not replying to me on Steam, foul knave.
Tease.
