According to many posters here, the Wiimote is a one of a kind unique idea that no one ever thought of before.  It was out of the blue and no company in the world ever thought of something like it...Except Nintendo. It's this long line of ridiculously intelligent moves that Nintendo has made which is why this is the first popular Nintendo console since the SNES. 

My answer? No.  If anything, Nintendo should be happy that a major hitter is joining the ranks of motion controls.  More quality games should be coming to the PS3 / Wii because of this especially as there is a even larger user base for it. The Wii has enough of a strangle hold over the PS3/360 that I don't see anything changing too much in regards to that.

I do think that Sony scored themselves a lot more quality future Wii titles.

That $100 is for the starter kit. That comes with the eye toy, "move", and a game. Each additional one after it would probably cost about as much as a Wiimote 

What it's ultimately going to come down to at the end of the day is the games, not the hardware. If Sony and 3rd parties actually take this device seriously and make some great games that utilize the controller well, it could be a hit. If they however just use it as an after thought to try to appease the "stupid cazuals" and throw out crap like motion party, they will fail. Consumers can pick up if really care and dedication is put into a product. And for Sony's device, I really don't sense that right now. It looks like they're just kind of throwing it out there as a "me too" product. I could be proven wrong though.

Gamecube was cheaper than PS2.

augmented reality and 1-1 tracking :p- that it may capture nintendo casual market it's yet to see.

Yeah Sony has a history of making better quality for bigger prices, Nintendo tends to make good quality for cheaper prices.

That wasn't intended as an insult.

Why would Nintendo be scared? It's a defensive move (hah). The Move proves that Sony is rattled and trying to catch up, not the other way around.

It's not like Nintendo didn't see this coming. That's why they're always trying to craft new experiences. The balance board in 2008, WM+ in 2009, and now the vitality sensor in 2010.

No they should fear Natal.


As famousringo said Sony (and MS) both are playing Catch up to the Wii.

if your interested I have some Info on Some at Sony's very own R&D also saw it Coming also

Yeah, Sony's R&D saw it coming. It's just that the people who actually call the shots at SCE didn't see the light until sometime around 2007/2008.

Dabbling with new interfaces in R&D and occaisionally punting one out as an add-on isn't anything new, but adopting them as a core focus of the platform is rare, because that's where the real risk is. The money men at Sony and MS weren't willing to take that risk until somebody else took the chance and proved it could work.
