Nope I don't plan on buying one soon. If Ape escape 4 comes out then maybe. I learned form Red Steel 2 that actions games with motion controls even if they're good, responsive and realistic gets old pretty quick. I don't need to buy a hundred dollar bundle for me to know that it'll be the same for move.

No and I don't plan to. I'm surprised that almost 50% polled bought one even though the stats show that the attach rate for the Move is still firmly in the single digits percent wise.

Unless the Move becomes mainstream and has lots of Move games I want to play, I won't buy one. The accessory is at the early adopter stages. I'll take a wait and see approach. I already have too much hardware. Hard to justify buying more at this point. At the end of the day, getting a Move is like buying another console. $100 for the Starter Pack, $30 for the Nav (which functions like a nunchuk so you bet it's a must purchase if you get move. And it's not included in the starter pack apparently), $50 for another Move controller (a number of games require 2 move controllers) and possibly extra for a charging pack if Move doesn't allow you to recharge any other way (does it have PS3 USB connection recharging? It better). When you add everything up, it's like buying another Wii.

I'm also not keen on Kinect for similar reasons. Hard to justify a purchase right now. The good thing about Kinect though is that after you buy it, you don't have to buy any other Kinect accessories whereas with the Move a starter bundle is very bare bones (no nav, have to get a second Move controller for some games, extra Move controllers for multi player).



Nope and won't.

Don't see the point in spending an additional $150 on controllers for games I would rather play on my Wii with the same type of controller I already have and then spend the money on multiple new games for both systems.

For that money I can buy...

Goldeneye(50), Epic Mickey(50), Donkey Kong Country Returns(30), Uncharted 2(20), and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood(20).

(Considering I buy most used and sell generally after beating the PS3 games)

You are on a core gaming sight where there are many who will buy anything game related. Even though these same individuals blasted motion for the last few years until Sony made the nearly identical product, just HD. Because that makes it soooo different.



nope and i dont think i will, motion controllers arent my thing

wasn't there a thread like this a few weeks ago?

Anyways, no. And I won't until they release a game that actually interests me that benefits from Move. If the Move benefit is minimal and a normal controller still works than I probably won't pick up Move (like LBP for example, it uses Move but it isn't worth the investment for it).




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

This is precisely why I don't get why the Move attach rate here is like 40 % with PS3 owners. The self-proclaimed hardcore gamers bitch about motion control more than anyone.

Personally I think motion control is great when done right (I own a Wii after all. Though admittedly, a lot of the games I've played don't use motion control. And I play NBA Jam with the classic controller because I hate using the motion control setup for shooting and dunking. But on the flip side, I prefer No More Heroes 2 with motion controls over a gamepad. It depends on the game). Though there are times where the motion control in Wii games can be very frustrating but it's not a pure black/white "motion control is the best ev4r" or "motion control sucks" thing for me. But for HD gamers to go from "motion control sucks" to buying Move at a 40% attach rate? Either that 40% has changed their tune about the Wii or gamers are all like "BUT ITS IN HD!!!! ZOMG."



I'm waiting for a bundle with a game, Socom 4 for exemple...

Yet, out of 141, only 29 doesn't plan to buy it. Pretty impressive!

Yeah but I got it on a discount, but I wouldn't have bought it full price. I played it a good bit the first few days and when some friends are over but I'm still waiting on some games to come out that make me wanna play it.

The poll doesn't accurately represent those who haven't bought it but intend to buy it.

It could easily be argued that 56% of the voters do not have plans to buy the Move, as those who said "no, but maybe later" currently do not have plans to buy it (like myself, but I'm not opposed to buying it). The reality is that somewhere between 20 and 56% of respondents will probably not buy it in the first year or even ever.
