well yes, they discussed that they looked into it with the eye toy back on the ps2, and believe the ps eye is capable of doing it, despite (my opinion) it being just a high def camera..

It only captures in 640x480 or 320x240...

Well to be fair there is nothing really on the Wii for hardcore gamers only hardcore Nintendo fans and casuals.. But I guess that all could be argued as opinion anyways.

There's something for everyone on the machine I think. It just takes playing the right game. There's something for everyone on all the machines.

well yes there is something for everyone on every console, but there is not everything for someone on any other console, and that's what This guy from Sony is trying to say. That's what makes it different.


  No, I mean there is something for everyone on each machine. More than enough for any individual if they look and experiment. To say otherwise is close-minded. There's so many games on each system that every user is catered for. I'm serious.

The Wii has 'hardcore' (meaning teenage-twenty-something males in actuality) games such as Call of Duty, Monster Hunter, Metroid, Zelda, Resident Evil 4, Red Steel 2, Silent Hill, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, No More Heroes and its sequel, Cursed Mountain, Godfather, Scarface, Bully and so on. All good to excellent games that appeal to that market. The hardcore gamer segment is a myth of young nerdy, online men that seek to explain why games sell on PS3 and Xbox that have yet not sold marvellously on Wii.  The reason being poor effort, poor marketing and a lack of that casual and internet gaming obsessive young male consumers. Those games exist on Wii, perhaps without the technological flair, but the basic gameplay is there and is there with some unique and engaging controls. Like I said there is something for all on it, but perhaps not the numbers of titles that are found elsewhere. After all, the Wii is better at catering for older males, younger males and females than the other two consoles, but they, too, have some games for those segments.

I don't know have you played Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, GOWIII Demo, or the Call Of Duty Games?? I don't think there is anything remotely close to that on the Wii. There are good games that I could enjoy but there is not every type of experience I want on the wii. The Wii can't make those types of games because their hardware is limiting. And that's the point. If I was going to buy a wii and be happy with it and say there are enough great games for me to play I might as well stick with just playing on the PS2 or my PS1 from back in the day or the first Nintendo. But what the PS3 offers, experiences that the Wii cannot offer or has not offered. 



The PS3 will eat into the mindshare of the Wii.

Consumers will see that everything the Wii does, the PS3 can do. In addition to 60x more stuff.

While I'm a ps3 fanboy (also own a 360 and a wii) I don't see the appeal of motion control and have no interest in it. The nice thing about buttons and analog sticks is that there is feedback. If I press a button I know I pressed it, and while I may shout sometimes that I hit the button and it didn't read it, I know I pressed it. Motion control has no feedback and therefore I am never able to be confident that what I'm doing is translating into game input. That's just me, though.

you are talking like my grandpha... die die die!! hehehe, just kidding :)

Don't let the facts get in the way.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

Lawl, see my sig :P

I'm still in disbelieve that Sony is so blatantly copying the Wiimote, especially if they go through with the nunchuck. I guess that's the name of the game in capitalism though, no shame whatsoever.

In all serious though, if the games that use this thing deliver, I might actually considering picking this up with a PS3 (once the price drops again at least), because Nintendo hasn't really shown interest in TRULY utilizing their motion controls for most of their games, particularly core games. But it looks like this is starting to change with games like Zangeki and Zelda Wii.

But if Sony or a 3rd party for instance releases a good full motion adventure game or a quality FPS with Ir controls, before Nintendo does, you bet your ass I will be picking that up.

You are looking at the wrong reason for the Wii's success. It is not simly the control method but accessibility, and making new types of games for new markets. Something that Sony has not yet proven they can pull off. A motion controller will not change this unless Sony actually uses it to make these new type of games that can market to a wide variety of audiences and bring it new ones.
