One of the things that struck me first after reading some comments from people watching yesterdays announcement was the response from Wii owners / fans.

The general feel of their response could be deduced as a "hate" towards Sony's new motion controller, calling it a rip-off, cheap man's WiiMote, stating it's imprecise, crappy looking and more.

I personally feel insecurity from these replyies, one thing that sets the Wii apart from the other consoles (except the great Nintendo game lineup ofc) are motion controls. Now Sony has them and they are very similar. Better or worse, doesn't matter (yet). This could threaten Nintendo by stealing slice of their customer base with decent marketing etc etc...

But don't forget there is likely one HUGE plus to that. Now we can expect many releases between Wii and PS3 as multiplatform, which could lead to the increase in quality of 3rd party titles. Which benefits everyone. Wii exclusive owners were bitching about lower quality "core" games from third party. Now this is your chance to actually get something better as a trade off for slice of your casual crowd customer pie.

So what's your take on this? Is it likely to see quality increase in motion controled 3rd party games? Is it likely for PS3 to cater to more casual audience and share some customers with the Wii? Will Sony's Move be better than WiiMotionPlus? Do you think PS Move is a rip-off from Wii Motion? Is the PS3 the Pachter's rumored Wii HD?

Sorry for the grammar, just woke up

I agree 100% dude.  I think it will benefit PS3 and Wii owners.  I reckon it'll be quite easy to port from one console to the other, especially if the rumours of HD Wii are true.   I think it's a win win situation,  there will be a greater diversity of games for both consoles, more hardcore on Wii and some more casual on PS3.  Bring it on!!  :)

I have thought about this. The PS motion control is VERY similar to Nintendo's, and thus from a gameplay perspective it wouldn't be very hard to develop a game for both.
Wii has some 3rd party problems, and the PS Move userbase currently sits at zero. I imagine many publishers wanting to make their games for both to get more sales.
