I've had it up to here (you'll have to guess where I'm gesturing, hint: it's at least as high as my head) with the condescending attitude towards casual gamers, and with the assumption that motion controls can only ever be aimed at casual gamers.
1) The Move is not in primarily aimed at casual gamers. The move is mostly aimed at people who already own a PS3. It is priced such as it is so that if people buy it to play games they already own (LBP, RE5 etc) then Sony still make money.
2) Casual gamers are no less able to make a value for money decision than us 'proper' gamers. Last generation the Gamecube was $99 while the PS2 was still $200, and yet families and casual gamers decided they would spend twice as much in order to get the system with the games they wanted to play.
3) Sony are sick of losing money, and have doubtless put a lot of RnD into the move, they need a decent return.
Now that I've covered the general point of your article, I also have to nitpick one point. In what way are 'teh casualz' known for prefering ethernet over wireless? A harcore gamer will usually leave their console permanently set up, and may value the extra speed that ethernet provides compared to most forms of wireless. Considering however, those soccer mums that you love to disparage. They are probably more likely to not want to bother dealing with cables, which lets face it are annoying, inelegant and get in the way.
As for harddrive space, I've found (with computers at least) that the less technical knowledge you have, and the less you are concerned with computers, the more harddrive space you need.
