I would love to own the ps3 move, but right now out of my price range. Hopefully one day it will be 1/2 the cost.
Edit: Or Move Controller, PSeye, Numchuck, a Game for 90CAD (after tax it is $100).

Im really struggling to see the value proposition here. It just doesn't seem like a good deal really. $130 is the minimum cost which doesn't even give full functionality in all Move titles and yet all that does is give access to Wii Sports clones and the ability to substitute your right thumb for your wrist if you don't count using a DS3 as a viable alternative to the navigator.
Why pay close to Wii prices to access a weaker library when you can pretty much pay about as much and grab a Wii instead? Even if someone had a PS3 and no Wii, it'd still make more sense to get a Wii instead of Move.
Tease.

I like realistic graphics when it comes to sports and such. Outside of a select few titles like Tiger Woods and such the Wii tends to go for a different art style. Even games like Tiger Woods the PS3 is obviously better visually too. |
You're kidding me. Its the SAME GAME. You'll find it just as initially fun and just as quickly waning. You don't play graphics and the gameplay is unchanged. Our discsussion is over if this is the examples you're going to use for "new Move experiences".
may i just remind all the wingers that wii mote without wm is still $39.75 nunchuck $15.99 and wm $17.54 right so if we add this up = $73.28 if you was going to buy it seperate, of course yes you can get bundles with the wii, but it's not fair to compare new hardware with a remote that has been out for quite a long time.
the price is brilliant, a lot of people cheered at the first price, yes they went quiet on the navigator but seriously sony is not far behind price wise on the wiimote accesories:):)
it's the future of handheld

This, I prefer more realistic graphics as well, it's the reason why I could not get into wii sports resort, I just wanted to turn it off within 5 mins of seeig it.

Because unlike Wii there will be real games for it, you won't have Mario packed into every other game title released on the plastform, and graphics won't put you in danger of losing your eye from pixelosis seen on the screen.
That's before we go into "little" things like included BR player or better online gaming.
I'm not sure if move will steal a lot of Wii customers but it certainly removes a lot of reasons which ps3 owner could have to buy second console.
Also last time people argued about Total cost of ownership it was in xbox vs $400 ps3 fat case. Looking back to it we can clearly see that having tons of hidden additional costs with lower entry barrier is better than more complete package on the mass market. Price tag for move is hefty but you won't be spending it all at once.

I never said it didn't enhance the experience, its just not a new experience.
If I was buying one of these two games (assuming same system availability), yes I'd choose the prettier one if I knew the gameplay and controls where essentially the same.
However, that's not what is happening here.
I'm making the statement that the expanded audience that has allowed the Wii to flourish won't see HD as a reason to buy Move, especially at that price. Its just not a NEW experience.
Wii owners are not going to jump ship by large for Move.
New shoppers in this expanded audience (which is far larger than typical gaming crowd) will see the two pretty much the same, but Wii will be more familiar and far less expensive with more games to boot. No contest really.

Completely right about the 360 vs. PS3. Many on the web, myself included, were always showing how the PS3 was actually cheaper than the 360. Even when the PS3 was $100 more than the 360. However, Joe Public doesn't care about that. All they see is the initial price tag. One of the reasons the Wii was such a hit. And why the 360 was out selling the PS3 in late '08/early '09. But, as soon as the initial price was the same, people saw the value of the PS3, and it has been outselling the 360 WW since.
And as others have pointed out, these prices aren't very different from those of the Wii-motes, yet people still buy a boat load of those. So when the Move and Natal are released, most people will see is a $150 or more camera, as opposed to a $100 bundle with a camera, controller, a demo disc, and a full game. Definitely not saying Move will sell boat loads, but I think it will have the better chance.

Sony have said many times the PS3 if a console for when new gamers want to expand and seek 'the next step' or however it was put. |
Sony also said that people would be willing to get two jobs to buy a PS3 without any games. We all know how that worked out....
The expanded audience will upgrade when Nintendo offers a NEW experience.

Hey, I got 2 jobs.
Ok, that's a lie. But, I guess one of the new gaming experiences on Move that's not on the Wii is augmented reality games. Like Move Party. Plus, I'm sure there will be tons of different uses with the tech, especially with Sony behind the games.
And you do realize Nintendo isn't always on top right? 3 gens ago, they had an all out war with Sega, and kept switching places of 1st and 2nd. It wasn't until the end of that gen that Nintendo came out on top. And for the last 2 gens, Sony has ruled the 1st spot. So, it isn't always Nintendo that people "upgrade" to. The fact is, with everyone trying out motion gaming, Nintendo is going to have to bring much more than Wii Again next gen. I have no doubt they can, but who knows what the other companies have in store for next gen. The next 2 E3's are going to be really interesting to watch.
