Well the difference there is that works because it's not defining a certain date but saying it has spanned 5 different yeas.  Which is true as it launched November 2006 and we are currently in 2010.  5 different years it has been out.  As long as they don't try to detail the actual lenght, that is technically true.  But saying something is 4 and a half years old when the product has actuallly been on the market for 3 years and four months is completely wrong.

Only way I could see that as right, is if they mean when it was first shown back in September 2005.  Technically it has been 4 years and 6 months since that time, and I'm guessing that is what Mr. Harris meant.  Should probably put context for that, or otherwise it doesn't make sense as most people take release month not prototype first shown to the media.

IGN isn't giving WM+ enough credit. The experience between WM+ and Move should be very similar overall, save for the enhanced reality experience.

There are only a handful of decent games out for WM+ at this time, so I don't think people can make premature judgements about Wii's tech vs. Move. All in All, move accurate sensing can only have minor effects in gameplay and enjoyability factors.

Much more important is game design and how much leeway the game designers give in the translation of the motion controller movements into the game-- it can't be a 100% perfect translation or gamers would be very frustrated. I suck at golf in the real world, and if they transferred by real swing into Tiger Woods '10, I would be one frustrated gamer. All sports games have to have this translation factor to appeal to the casual crowd. This is why the perceived larger accuracy of Move is largely irrelevant.

Yeah, things always get different connotations and meanings depending on the situation and who reads them mostly. I think it was a case of PR talk by Cammie. This guy probably refers to it like what you are saying. But then the PS Move is already a year old or so going by that logic since it was revealed during last E3, so the guy is indeed wrong no matter how we interpret this.

*CLAP CLAP*

Sony you just fail hard with this thing ...real hard , do they expecting that the causal see the difference, casual gamers will not see the difference at all ! Its gonna be so funny ^~

I am personally offended that a company like Sony that prides itself in being a tech innovator makes such a blatant ripp off.

That being said, this Wiimote v2 will not have an impact unless it is being bundled as the primary input device for all future Playstation 3 sales. Otherwise the userbase will be too low, as seen with Balance Board or WM+.

too expensive... sorry Sony, nice try

Well said, and couldn't agree more.

I haven't seen a single thing that Sony's product can do, that can't be done with WM+. And with all the talk of lag, I'm even more disappointed. They've had time to work on their copy-cat, and this is all they can do?

Oh, and of course the biggest hurdle for them, aside from pricing, is the fact that their product is not built around these controllers. The Eye-toy might have been a cool add on for the PS2, but it didn't move systems. This too will follow the same path.

There are at the very least 22.5 million balance boards around (=sales of Wii Fit), not taking into account all those that bought Wii Fit Plus with the balance board (there are over 10 million WFP sold but how many with balance board is not known. My pessimistic guess would be at the very least 10%)

There are at the very least 14 million WM+ users around (=sales of Wii Sports Resort so far), not taking into account people who haven't bought Sports Resort but bought WM+ as a standalone or bundled in order to play Tiger Woods or one of the tennis games (which between them have sold more than 1.5 million game copies). All this in less than a year.

Do you consider these userbases as too low? 

Yes it is. As opposed to the whole Wii user base. Look at the amount of games made that exclusively use them as input device.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree , I think the amount of games exclusively for these input devices has nothing to do with their penetration.
