The home console hardware that garnered the most attention—judging by people's reactions, the lines at E3, and our own experiences—is Microsoft's completely controller-less Kinect, which seemingly promises something completely new. You are the controller with Kinect. That's killer hardware.

I stopped reading there.

Looks like there's something about Nintendo but I won't read it, I know Nintendo won this E3 but I can read better opinions in different sites.

@christian

this kind of talk is so annoying if you dont want to buy a 3d tv fuking dont sony are awesome for puting future technologies out there first there just raising the bar and its expensive because its good

I thought the same as you on the part that kinect garnered the MOST attention…the lines at E3 (for kinect).  I didn't see this video anywhere with an incredible line for kinect.  Moto was watching but I don't think he ran to be in front and he wouldn't be waiting 4 hours to see 2 guys looking silly.  He might be the type that would do that slow run that some did to the 3DS line. lol

Ummm, how are they raising the bar? Last time i checked they never did.....I see this as a flaming thread for Nintendo and Sony fans to quarel against each other but i won't take the bait.

 reason I see a grim future for Sony is because they seem to be backing two things that are doomed for failure.

The first is the 3D, which although cool, requires a $3000 investment just to utilize it. Nobody is going to invest in this, so I agree with the article that Sony is simply wasting resources venturing in a field that nobody is going to take part in. Also, Nintendo has already one upped them in making a handheld capable of 3D, with no stupid glasses, and a mere fraction of the cost. Nintendo has taken away the edge from Sony's 3D, and they have barely even started using it yet.

The second one, the Move, is going to fail. Why? Several reasons, but the main reason is the Wii has already done this. It is lacking the "new" factor. Sony just naively thinks that now that THEY are making motion controls, they will be successful like Nintendo. But really it comes down to the GAMES. I have seen no games that have shown Sony is serious about motion control. They are all cheap Wii imitators or traditional core games with motion control tacked on. Sony is trying to appeal to core AND casual gamers, but the irony is they will get neither. Many core users on their system didn't like Wii motion controls, so why would they like SONY motion controls? The casual audience is already on Wii, so why would they invest $400 for a new console that does the same thing as Wii? HD graphics? Please..

Let's not forget, Sony already tried motion control with the PS3.. it was called the Sixaxis, and guess what? It failed. What makes people think now that the Sixaxsis it cut in two and more advanced, it will be successful? Sony's has also had motion control with the PS Eye, and that also wasn't successful.

To put it bluntly, Sony is going to at the very least be very crippled when these two main ventures end up backfiring on them, and because of this, I don't see a PS4 coming anytime soon, if ever. What they should focus on is GAMES. These are the true reasons people will buy a PS3. Not expensive extra features like 3D that 99% of people will not use, or motion control technology that is 4 years old. Sony is taking risks, which I guess is a good thing, but they are taking risks on the wrong things IMO.

Darth Tigiris   regarding sony thread? naaah pretty sure what's this thread is about so no need to read..moving along

I differ with some of the specifics, but not with the overall point.

Someone has to lose, or do they?!

well it took em 3 generations make the BEST engineered console.

too bad the market doesn't see that but goes for the cheaper and "hip" things.

I know you think they would have learnt from the last two generations that the most powerful console never finishes first. I mean the N64 was more powerful than the psone and the Gamecube (pity about the disks) and Xbox were both more powerful than the PS2.

But no they got tired of people rubbing it in, and they went off and spent billions making the best hardware only to be out shined by fancy controllers and the loss of 3RD party software and superior online.

Oh well maybe they will learn from their mistakes next gen eh.
