| Joelcool7 said: Honestly I think Move being dropped and motion controls being dropped from Sony's systems in the future would be wise for Sony. Right now they can choose to directly compete with Nintendo or Microsoft or both. But if Sony returns to classic controllers only with PS4 they would have a massive advantage. Microsoft has stated Kinect is the future and any future X-Box will definitely support a Kinect like device. Microsoft saw enough success with Kinect to justify making it standard in the next X-Box. Even though the devices sales have dropped very low after initial release software sales remain impressive enough and Microsoft seems to think Kinect is the future. Nintendo also thinks motion controls are still the future. With WiiU it would appear they are dropping classic control's. Many would argue the WiiU controller is classic but lets face it, the screen in the middle makes the controller unique and a lot different to play on. Also since you will be required to use a Wiimote for any title offering 2 or more players we can see most games will still have a huge focus on motion controls. Both Nintendo and Microsoft will spend a lot of money, time and resources making sure Kinect and WiiU get their share of the market. But this leaves a huge gap for Sony to exploit. What about those tens of millions of gamers who prefer classic controls? Sure Nex-Box will likely still have a classic controller but Microsoft's focus is on motion controls and its dividing their support for classic controls. Sony could exploit this by creating a classic style console with similar or superior graphical power and processing capabilities then Nintendo WiiU or Nex-Box for a lower price. While the WiiU controller will cost Nintendo a small fortune to put in with each console and Kinect's camera which will no doubt be improved and more expensive costing Microsoft. Sony could create a power house for the same price, instead of investing in an expensive control device Sony could focus all that money on making their console state of the art. Or Sony could launch a PS4 with similar power to Nex-Box/WiiU and make more profit due to the lack of the expensive control device. Either way I think its in Sony's best interest to leave motion controls to Nintendo and Microsoft and instead focus on their established classic user base! |
Sony hasn't really lost any focus on the standard controller anyways and unlike wii and kinect move can actually play controller games well so in theory the wouldn't even have to make dedicated move games to continue to support and sell move and instead just have it as another kind of controller.
