See, I get your point, but Metallicube's comment only underlines the problem with Move. You, me, and other 'core' gamers who follow this kind of thing know about it. We know what the tech is like, what it can and can't do.

However, all others (say, 99% of humankind), does not. They're not 'core' gamers, and even if they do play games, it's only casually. They have no knowledge of Move nor its technology. They simply look at the device and its games, and so far, both share A LOT of similarities with Wii.

These are the customers Nintendo has been succesfully capturing since it launched DS, and the customers Sony and Microsoft are falling over themselves trying to cater to. To THESE people, Move = Wiimote ( w/ MotionPlus), regardless of whether it's true or not. It's all bout the games and public perception, and Sony aren't really making an effort to change Move's perception. They even modeled the Move controller and subcontroller after the Wiimote and Nunchuk, even of they don't look 100% the same, even trying to deny that is just silly. The fact that they're releasing clones of popular Wii blockbusters isn't helping, either.

Once again, Move is not the same as Wii, we know that, but the vast, vast majority of the rest of the world doesn't. And it doesn't seem like Sony will try to change that anytime soon.

but that is the point what your trying to imply the perception of the consensus = what it is..by the majority which is not the case at all. say for instance is someone called the Move a Wii clone or an exact replica of the wii or wii motion plus would you tell them it's not the case at all or would you just let it go?

that's the point i think people are going to have this perception of thing's does not they are right and it does not mean it's true.

it just means they have not learned enough about it.

Yes well, my point being that people are going to think Move = Wii, unless Sony make an effort to change that perception.

People aren't going to try and find out more about a product if they're not interested in the first place, and they're not going to be interested in it if they think it's very similar to Wii. Thus making it Sony's mission to make sure people know what Move is and what makes it stand apart from the competition. Consumers aren't obligated to go and learn about a product they think doesn't interests them. They will not invest valuable time and effort into researching something like that, if the image they're receiving from the get-go is that Move is basically Wii.

That's Sony's job. And like I said, so far they haven't been doing a good one, what with the physical form of the device and its games. To the general public, Move = Wii, whether you, me, or Sony likes it or not.
