I was pretty much disappointed when I finally saw the games Sony had been working on for its PS Move. What a rip off!

The inclusion of the PS nunchuk didn't took me by surprise as I stated that Sony eventualy had to come up with it when we were discusing after E3 if Sony's or Microsoft's motion offer were better than Nintendo's. How are you gonna make your FPS character walk without one, uh? That goes for you too, Natal.

Anyhow, I think that Soccom 4 is the way to go. Resident Evil 5, yeah, right. And I guess that Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, a COD or Killzone 3 would be great with a Wiimote alike solution.

Don't get me wrong. I am not a casual games hater. Not at all. I just wish we could see Sony thinking harder. We deserve that.

And I think this is great news for Nintendo fans, myself included. This kind of competition is something Nintendo can take and it will translate into better gaming experiences in every console.

Nov 2016 - NES outsells PS1 (JP)

Don't Play Stationary 4 ever. Switch!

With something of this nature, you HAVE to cater to as wide an audience as possible and the Move Party/Sports thing does that.

They want market penetration in all directions, and this is a good way to do that.

I do agree with you tho, Socom 4 makes me VERY interested in how this ends up (and might even push me to get it).



I am just saying that it is possible to offer "Party/Sports things" that don't ressemble so much to what Nintendo is offering. Table tennis, really?
Just for good taste's sake.

Is having two motion-controlled table tennis simulators on the market really so bad? Bearing in mind how many twin analogue stick 'shoot men in face with assault rifle' simulators there are?

You've got a point right there.

But you know what I meant. I am not against a Sony Table Tennis. I was just expecting they showed something different or even better. Not just basicaly the same game with a graphics upgrade.

I do know what you mean, but Sony are not going to try innovating too much when the original version is a license to print money.



Sony has always had a casual lineup, but a killer hardcore lineup as well. It will always be like that, period. No one really has anything to worry about.

The thing is that copying a "license to print money" frequently does not grant you a license to print money.
