Yes, that's what the world needs, more digital distribution. That's why the DSi, with its camera and microphone, is tanking, and the PSP Go, with its digital distribution, is selling like hotcakes.

LMAO! Post of the Month!

That was what I was thinking.



Odd. Future. Wolf. Gang. Kill. Em. All. OFWGKTA Don't give a fuck!

Fuck Steve Harvey. FREE EARL!

Final Fantasy Versus XIII will be the GREATEST game EVER made!!!

I'd take a bullet for Square-Enix!

I agree. When all these stupid motion control gimmicks (a shot at all 3 consoles, not the wii) die and regular controllers live on; I'll be sitting on my couch having the last laugh.

@Rol: You've gone down in my estimation, Singstar is GREAT I tells ya. Although if you are playing it solo, unless you're a tweeny girl, then there is something a little sad about that picture.

Singstar is a beer game and I don't drink. Enough said.


Not true. I don't drink and neither does anyone I've ever played Singstar with (at least they haven't been drinking when we played), and we have loads of fun. Admittedly we tend to play Buzz more often when we gather 'round the PS3 for some fun times, but Singstar is up there too (my wife teaches singing, so that might have something to do with it). I wonder what Jaffe has to day about the Buzz controller.

But that's not gonna happen. Over 49% of consoles sold this generation have been the Wii, and frankly the Wii motion controls are pretty sub-par. Pretend Sony decides to abandon the Arc and go with the Dual Shock 4 next generation. Are the millions of gamers who learned to play on the Wiimote going to switch over to some weird button-and-stick thing? No, of course not. Meanwhile, Nintendo and whoever else wants to go along with the motion control revolution are going to get better and better motion controls, stealing away more and more marketshare from old control methodologies. 

 

Next generation, something similar to Natal and the Arc are going to be the bundled controllers with the NextBox and the PS4. The traditional controllers will be like the Wii Classic Controller (Sold separately, and only really used for backwards compatibility)



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

I disagree. Though motion controls will have a place in the video game industry they will not take over traditional button controls. Either both types of controllers will be bundled with the console or the motion ones will be sold separately. The wii may have almost 50% of the market share but that system still has games that used button based controlling while the HD 50% has no motion based controls. Not to mention the revenue stream for the button based controlled games are far greater than those of the motion controls. If you wanted to include the handhelds and PC gaming then it is not even close. If Sony or Microsoft made the mistake of making motion controls the lead control design for them it would be a huge opportunity for the competitor to come along and dominate the button based controller market which is virtually every popular game not published by Nintendo. 

Motion controls has it's place and it is certainly a reason why the Wii is so successful. But it being unique is also a huge reason why it is successful. It doesn't necessarily mean that if every console has motion controls it will become successful like it is with the Wii.

We all thought that analog sticks would never make it in a console controller and look where we are today.....if something catches on in this industry it basically becomes a norm of the industry (see Sony and cd's....MS and online gaming)....motion controls will be implemented in every controller next gen given the wii's success.



N64 is the ONLY console of the fifth generation!!!

Fuck... I'm dead!

Whats the big deal, its quite clear that he doesn't desire to create a game using these other input devices. If he's happy creating content on a traditional controller with no willingness to think about other types of controller then fair enough. He is right in the respect that motion controls are so much in their infancy it will be many years before they really mature.
