Remember that Nintendo hoped to make motion controls the new standard, this is all just a part of their plan for world domination muwahahahaha

Sales of the Wii are still going strong, Nintendo is (probably) planning to release new hardware in the next 24 months and it is quite possible that they have something new and exciting with that. Or in other words, from Reggie’s perspective Kinect is far too late to have much of an impact on the Wii; and is (potentially) soon going to be eclipsed by what Nintendo is working on.
Title is misleading, a bit. I though Iwata had said something.

Why would he worry? That would be like Walt Disney worrying about the popularity of Mickey Mouse after the late introduction of Bugs Bunny. The originator usually has little to fear. At this point, Nintendo is riding a wave built on a positive consumer image and a strong brand. Industry insiders and journalists may scoff at the Wii, but consumers and stock holders are in love with the device. The popularity of the Kinect or Move will have little effect on the Wii. All Christmas long, at multiple Best Buy stores, all I saw were people crowding the Wii section. It is still the best bang for your buck, and most people know what to expect, because chances are, they know someone who already has one. The Kinect and the Move are still "unknowns." Also, they still cost more for the initial investment. Even the Xbox 360 that comes with a Kinect will run you $100 more than the current Wii bundles that all come with games (Wii Sports and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, or Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort). Nintendo hasn't even had a price drop yet. Imagine what will happen when the Wii goes down to $170, especially if it is still bundled with Wii Sports.

Reggie's right, after playing "The Shoot", I decided not to play "Tumble" and "Echochrome ii" because they were all the same ¬_¬
But he's right, Dance Central does look cool.

And calling it the best is dubious. Even its merits as a game aside (since that's a whole other argument), it's just a bunch of arbitrary motions in quick time event form. That isn't really much of the kind of motion control gaming that people flocked to. |
He also mentioned that the games are all the same. Even if you hate the games they still don't play the same.
It is a problem that they didn't add the MOVE label. It's a marketing mistake on the part of SONY imo.
It may be a series of quick time events... but it's a lot of fun and the stories intense. That's just my opinion. The move controller actually makes the gameplay a lot more involved. Although these have nothing to do with the fact that it uses move, thus it is a move game.

Only if you download the patch. Out of the box, it's strictly controller. That seems like semantics, but I'm not even counting RE5 as a move game (especially since it forces early buyers for the PS3 version to buy the game twice).
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

What hes saying is that from his perspective on Kinect Dance Central stands out as a great title whereas with Move titles nothing stands above the others in terms of appeal or perhaps quality. Given what we know about the sales of the games for each device, Dance Central is the 2nd best selling Kinect game and unique to the device at the same time. Move just doesn't have something like Dance Central yet. Maybe next year he'll point to a game like Sorcery.
Tease.

obviously he doesnt consider core games as real games, gamers dont play them, just grand pas and moms.
Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Um, there aren't really any such games on the Move right now. Or if there are already, they aren't really being hyped, and a lot of us haven't heard that there are.
