What benefit of the doubt should I give MS outside of the Illumiroom has Microsoft invested in for peripherals that Sony or Nintendo haven't already invested in themselves? I love this guy, always on the attack.  As for the whole PS Vita thing, I don't believe I ever said that It was revolutionary, I said its superior tech. Nintendo was the first to do work on console to gaming connectivity with the GBA and the GC.

I said the Move is revolutionary, in a sense that they are pushing the camera based motion control space being the first to accurately control, move through and manipulate a 3D environment. If you want to answer the the questions you must realize there is a problem and they've known the answer since 2004, stating it numerous times on video. Nintendo has pushed infrared sensor motion controls even though the started motion controls with outside help during the attempt with the Power Glove.

So revolutionary that no one, even Sony, seems to give a crap.

Not going to bother bickering about the the Nintendo/Sony stuff, I don't care enough to search for it and you'd just try to backpedal anyway. But LOL @ bolded.


I never backpedaled on anything. I stated the Move is revolutionary, not the Vita. On a concrete gaming level the Move/ Eye combo is has exponential gaming development potential oppose to the Kinect which is stuck in minigame land (even with Kinect 2.0...just watch Sony was right). Sony even stated this is why they had issues with the first PS Eye even though they saw the products potential making its debut back in 2004. They knew its draw backs.

Unlike the Vita the Move has actually sold quite a few units (over 10 million I believe). Sony profited off of the device, but they never created a killer app for it. The Vita and the Move don't sell amazingly because they don't have Killer apps to represent the peripheral themselves and encourage third party support and longevity. Instead of tearing down a great product that "no one gives a crap" about, figure out why they don't.  

Sonys problem outside of the main console hardware has never been tech development, but rather content for the devices that are not the main console itself.
