What IGN said: “At the end of the day, the PlayStation Move has the potential to be the best motion control system on the current crop of consoles; but unfortunately, the games offered at the moment just don’t do the technology justice. If you’re eager to buy into the system now, don’t expect a whole lot of great content straight out of the gate, but with time and certain kinks ironed out, the Move could prove to be a great way to add new gameplay experiences to the PlayStation 3 and attract new, more casual players.”

I think it was in the TechRadar review that I read them suggesting the Nav controller has limited motion control functionality. Are they mistaken on that or has Sony decided to add the sixaxis functionality to it?

Nice reviews coming in, and the software lineup is reasonably varied for launch (especially with the patches for the likes of Heavy Rain and MAG).

I think I'll start with 2 Move controllers (already got the Eye) and then see how I go using the DS3 for analog stick stuff. Might get a Nav or 2 in 6 months to a year.

It's a solid product, now lets hope iot gets the support, from Sony, from developers and from gamers.

OK. NINTENDO DON'T GO REVEALING THEIR IDEAS BEFORE THEY NEED TOO. OTHERWISE PEOPLE JUST COPY. SO HOW DO WE KNOW THEY DIDN'T HAVE SOMETHING IN THE WORKS BEFORE THAT???

 

at the end of the day it is a copy because they didn't have the guts to release it themselves. On top of that they slammed motion controls and now they cool?

They also slammed 3DS for not using glasses for 3D, and guess what now SONY is making a 3D tv that doesn't require glasses because toshiba are making one.

1. To a certain extent I agree about them not releasing it until wiimote came out and they saw it's success, but seriously why is not everyone giving credit for sony for having this idea ages ago instead of bashing it for doing this, I find it ironic and quite frankly something people use as an excuse just because they know move is better and will be successful

2. Nintendo also bashed 3D with glasses before that happened....

Any more negative posts, fire away!!
