Forums - Gaming - PS Move will succeed due to better visuals than Wii, less 'embarrassment'

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=118133

Things are really reaching a head guys....get your flame shields ready.

The PlayStation Move is going to allow developers to immerse gamers into a world that simply is not possible on the Wii. The Wii is an impressive console, but it can never deliver lifelike graphics like those found on rival consoles. MadWorld and No More Heroes are clear examples of how developers, who wish to target the mature audience, must do so at the limitations of the Wii, which typically result in cartoonish style environments. Unfortunately, as gamers we simply are not buying it (figuratively and literally).

I fully enjoyed Ping Pong with the Wii MotionPlus, but there was an additional element of excitement playing nearly the same game on the PlayStation Move. The PS3 version removed the Miis and had richer graphics, and it just felt more mature; it felt like something I wouldn’t be embarrassed playing when my friends come over, which is why my favorite feature of the PlayStation Move has nothing to do with the peripheral itself, but rather the console it is designed for. And that is one of the reasons the PlayStation Move will succeed, because it does evolve motion based gaming – maybe not from a technical perspective, but it certainly allows developers to introduce motion based gaming into environments not capable on the Wii.

Sorry Not gonna make a difference to the majority of people



Long Live SHIO!

Basicly he's saying the "core" audience on Wii will jump ship, if they haven't already.

But to be successful, it may need much much more than that.



                            

He's twisting around the reason why it won't succeed with why it will. Lack of style is going to make Sports Champions, for instance, look like all the other Wii Sports clones out there, the ones consumers have already rejected.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

Give me a break, Wii Sports has been one of the most successful games of all time.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

I'm pretty sure the Miis from Wii Sports have more personality than Sports Champion's "uninspired random guy with an afro."



I always have to smile when I see proclamations like "but it can never deliver lifelike graphics like those found on rival consoles". Lifelike? Not really. When the PS4/XB720 will come out, gamers of those consoles will say PS360 graphics are crap...
And more to the point, I have yet to see a WIi owner embarrassed to play Wii Sports in front of others. If anything, all those I know show off with their Wii.

Time for another Analyst exorcism I think. They cannot be serious can they?



I can't wait to play ping pong with Move. I'm so embarrassed to have fun playing ping pong on wii with my friends!



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

I like the "a mature game I wouldn't be embarrassed to play". The only people who are embarrassed by the Wii are immature fanboys. The Wii is very popular with adults and the elderly who are mature enough to know their maturity isn't defined by the games they play.
