Ok, I'm noticing a lot of blind hatred because Sony has come in and turned the industry on its head.  How can you call this thing a knock-off?  You guys are missing some critical features that blow the Wii out of the water...

The design of the two devices isn't even similar.  The glowing orb at the end of the Move can have massive game changing ramifications.  This is the next rumble, which has become standard.  One thing that I hate about the Wii is that it's almost impossible to tell which person is what player.  The Glowing orb can fix that by easily color coding it.  Also, have you seen the button placement?!?!?  It's not the same at all.  On top of that, the Wii-Mote is shaped like a rectangle.  The Move is a cylinder, which is scientifically more ergonomic than a rectangle.  This isn't even arguable.

One thing that I hate about the Wii is that when a friend comes over, I only have 1 Wii controller. I appreciate you have to buy another controller to get motion sensing in your off hand. This will give me a full featured experience that's better than the Wii and when my friends come over, BAM I already have two controllers ready to go.

Two, I think we all can agree that the Wii remote is way too complex of a device. Buttons, a d-pad, triggers... come on, you can't be serious. I like how the the Move simplifies that controller layout. This will really come in handy when playing those hardcore games that will need to fully utilize the controller to its fullest potential.

Most important though, Z-AXIS. In order to get Z-Axis support on the Wii, I would have to open up the box, dig through all of the packaging and pray that I didn't accidentally throw away some microscopic motion plus device that comes bundled with every system. With the Move, it's built in. I don't have to worry about accidentally throwing away or losing anything.

There are clear cut benefits. Anyone who can't see that... I don't even know what to say.

it's a copy, of course.

improvement..yea...to the regular wiimote.

but motionplus is pretty much 1:1.

 

wii resort table tennis does what the sony camp was tryin to say...they were smart in not mentioning which wii-mote they were tryin to compare to.  motionplus is exactly the "move".

 

need not worry though.  "move" is an option.  wii-motion is standard.  as long as dualshock is the primary control source, 'move' won't do much for them.

I agree with every single word.

And more try picture a 30esc tv ad for this thing , will be just like the Wii ads , and people will go to stores to buy Move Party for their Wiis (its gonna be funny) also , what makes the Wii really great are not the precision of the movements itself its the idea behind the moves that you make look at Wario War or super mario galaxy ...and Even mario kart there not need for ultra precise controllers they just have to be good , and above all the game must be good...and dudes no one make better games than Nintendo.

Other thing we all should take note , nintendo knew this was about to happen by the moment the saw the numbers at the Wii sales , i think that at E3 beyond the VS for the casual Nintendo will come up with One more thing something really amazing that gonna blow our minds in the very same way they did with the Wii-mote ...

You fail in so many ways ^^

1-Wii remote is shaped in a rectangle , but its round in the part that you grip it  also in case you dont know you should use the wii-mote with the jacket that give more grip.

2-The glowing orb....is a freaking glowing ORB -i dont think i need to comment-

3-You own a Wii and just one controller ?WTF? you can get one for free by purchasing Wii Play , also the Wii is way cheaper than a PS3 so buying a extra Wii-mote is way cheaper than buying a PS3+MOVE START KIT (rember nunchuks not included).

4-Wii motion plus is not microscopic it comes with a jacket if you find a way to lose that inside the console box (you are too stupid to even think about playing games -sorry but its true-) For the price of Move you can buy 5 motion plus , despite the fact it now comes free on Wii value pack, and also comes for FREE with game that requires it , and if you buy Wii Sports resort you are buying a hell of game.

-The only thing that MOVE can do to make it better is the point of AR overlaying stuff from your real world image, but only game makes use of it and didnt look a good game-

You fail in so man



I really Don't know why so may Wii fans are upset, this is great for the Wii. With Sony ugrading to motion control and having third party behind it, you guys will be getting tons of support now. That's just big.
