2 first party race title in the launch window seems a little overkill imo, especially if you add to that the inevitable Riiiiiidge Racer.

Sony made it an optional thing for their developers and their developers passed on it. Even Naughty Dog half assed the Sixaxis in Uncharted.

If it's optional it won't catch on. Kinect is doing so well because Microsoft is forcing it into 360 purchases. Plus the $500 million advertising campaign showed they were serious, but there are no games.

Unless it has some motion detetors around the camera to so it opens just for that moment.

But as everything I've been hearing about Project Cafe for the last week I'll take it as truth when I see it in real life.

Do you know why people half ass Motion Contols......Its because buttons are way better and are much better for gaming. Unless there is a dancing game or something to exercise with which motion contols are good at. But buttons always do better at everything else.  So of course it should be optional and sony understands this.

whoa, whoa, whoa... although very limited in its aplication, ND did not half ass sixaxis.

when on an edge or cliff, you tilt the controller back so you can jump backward onto a ledge behind you. some may think you could just use the analog stick for that, but if you think about it, pressing down on the stick would make the game think you want to jumb downward, onto a lower edge (if there was one). the sixaxis implementation here works briliantly.

furthermore ND incorporated sixaxis with the grenade toss system. you can aim the direction of the grenade with the right stick like in every other game, but you may run into a problem. the target you are aiming for may be really far away, so when aiming up to throw further, the camera also goes up, and eventually it will be too high to see your target, with sixaxis combined with the right stick, you can get the general direction with the stick, then with sixaxis fine tune your aim without altering the camera direction, keeping you focused on the target.

and then in Uncharted 1, you had to balance on some logs, while not necessary, it was at least kind of fun.

I only used the Sixaxis for the grenades and quickly turned it off because it wasn't implemented well. Completely took me out of the game.

When Move is used right it does wonders to bring the player into the game. RUSE was a decent example of RTS' use with motion control. Sports Champions wouldn't have been as well done without motion.

When developers really develop a game for Move it is great. KillZone 3 has been fun for example, but PlayStation Move Heroes shows what not to do.

Well that's why motion controls need to remain optional - so they can be used only for games where they can improve the gameplay.

Motion gaming is here to stay now. All three manufactures are going to have it around, because it does improve the immersion on certain genres. 

At the same time, by being optional, it shows developers that the console manufacturer isn't serious about the tech. Meaning they aren't going to be serious about it. Meaning half-assed games.

You only have to look at the difference in 3rd party response to move and kinect. By only having games made exclusively for Kinect (and with the sales success), they have managed to entice 3rd party developers who are developing games for it. By making their best games optional, sony havent managed to attract major 3rd party companies to make games for move. And it is less successful for it.
