Has anybody else noticed lately that many of the pro-Microsoft posters around here have spontaneously changed their tune about motion-sensing controllers, incidentally? Even just a month ago, most of what you saw was scoffing at them, and all of a sudden, the position has totally reversed with no impetus save that MS is rumored to have one in development. Quite suspicious behavior, that... Most people don't spontaneously change their position on something the moment they hear that the company who makes their console of choice is going to be making the product they were scorning before too...

I supported it all along. I would say that the ones who hated it are in their "Denial" stage so they are quiet and the ones that wouldn't mind it or like it are happy or ok with it.

In that Xbox 360 thread, I was saying that Gaming company releases the rumor and deny it until the last minute, this is nothing new in the Gaming industry(like PS3's Bioshock recently). It is because they may need a chance to cancel the failure product or testing the response from the public. People will accept the trend eventually. Like I a said it before, Wiimote like controller will become more common due to its nature that tend to toward natural control. Wiimote is not perfect, it needs some buttons redesigned or something else. Wiimote was a 3 years old technology, still it is better than Sony & M$, that's why they are going to develop motion-sensing technology, because it is definitely more percise than Ninty's one. That's why need Wiimote to be evolved again too.

Common sense, like I said it before technology evolved, Wiimote is a 3 years old stuff, the technology itself is way more(older) than that, everyone keep saying that Wiimote is not percise enough, you know why? Because it was an old techonology(in the technology field), it is like Moore's law, it is like the leap between the old phone & the iphone, it is like the graphical leap between the phone, console and any other things else. People recognized this "old technology" because of Nintendo and it's already 3 years old. Who knows what is the latest technology? Because of the LTTP, Sony & M$ have extra time to search & develop better technology.

@Sony already claimed that they were going to have DVR for PS3 when it launch at the time of 2006, however it delay again until March 2008 and it is called PlayTV, however it delay once more time again to Septemper 2008. And it is not Wiimote everything, it is "Wiimote like" everything, it will be like keyboard & mouse, people will get used to it. FYI, Asus just released Eee Stick for the computer, wiimote like technology is not perfect, it need to have button redesign and many other things else to be polished again. Remember that Atari Jotstick to the recent gamepad? Gamepad itself can't be evolved anymore, that's why Sony add Sixaxis to its control, however it failed. Other than that, if Sony or Microsoft is not going to develop the Wiimote like device for better graphic & physics console, who gonna do it? It can't be just Nintendo again. Our next genaration will going to accept it all, maybe it is still not our time...yet. And I am still looking toward Minority's like technology.



Poor PS3 Sales Means Smaller Losses

"Actually, because the number of units sold was not as high as we hoped, the loss was better than our original expectation," Quotes from Sony’s CFO Nobuyuki Oneda.
