Just a friendly reminder that motion gaming didn't die. A controller with motion options will always be better than regular controllers and certain genres (like every shooter ever) are infinitely better with it.

Sony was completely hamstrung with shooters using Move because MS would have had kittens over the likes of Activision implementing Move functionality in CoD, especially with MS having the marketing exclusivity with CoD. And SOny's shooters were never popular enough to drive that aspect of motion control into the shooter mainstream. They tried damned hard with KZ3, MAG, and Resistance 3, but al those games failed to sell substantially.

Sony would have had to moneyhat Move functionality into BF, and at the time Sony was not in a moneyhatting position.

It's curious that Bioshock Infinite implemented Move, but it was too little too late, and also only a 2nd tier shooter. It is odd that even Sony gave up on trying to promote Move in the 8th gen through KZ:SF, not that it would have helped much with SF not being a big seller. Motion controlled FPS might come back into vogue with VR. But VR taking off in a big way is far from certain.

Whi is talking about sony and move? that's merely an acessory that was no success. the wii implemented that funcionality perfectly, it's shooters play better than non motion shooters.
