I. Perhaps I wasn't clear I think Sony should discard the Move entirely. Go all the way back to the drawing board to come up with a idea of their own. Can we be honest the Move is a blatant knock off. Most consumers see that, and it just plain makes Sony look bad. I think it is better for Sony to have something to offer of their own. Rather then just copying what the other guy is coming up with. You can't win by playing follow the leader.

2. I am getting really tired of people neglecting qualifiers in their remarks. Your statement is subjective, and that is all there is to it. By neglecting to incorporate some phrase or word to represent some uncertainty it just causes you to look arrogant. Learn some humility for crying out loud. On point it could be a lot of things that are hurting the sales of the new system. Perhaps it was the wrong innovation. Perhaps consumers are showing a unwillingness to buy yet another handheld. Perhaps consumers want to invest in hand held devices that are truly multimedia.

3. Historically speaking that doesn't seem to be the case. In retrospect the PS2 was dominant, because it offered a cheaper media. While Sony offered a compelling business model that was more favorable to third parties. It can be argued that the 64 lineup in the beginning of that generation was better, and Nintendo had a better interface.

Looking to this generation based upon your apparent logic the PS3 should be a distant third by this point. The first year was a wasteland as far as software was concerned. What got the console through that first year can be seen as a culmination of a lot of things. The console allowing for surfing the internet, the ability of the console to play high definition media, and brand loyalty.

So no software doesn't seem to be the king you make it out to be. It is just part of the equation. In this case the Move is just a poor user interface for a lot of reasons. Changing the software isn't going to change that. Sony has to win rather then just show.
