What you said makes no sense. It is in no way taboo to speak of the Move. You can speak about it all you want but if anything, Move is more profitable than Kinect. It didn't have that half-billion marketing campaign and people are encouraged to buy more than 1. Each Move unit is sold at a good profit.(Navigational, Camera, Move Wand...etc). Do you really think Move was some sort of financial disaster?

Now, having said that, how does OP make sense given Move uses motion controls and a camera for movement detection?

LOOOOL,

Respect to Sony if any of these actually real. Not everything has to be taken seriously and this a shade of humour, nice to see a company not take themselves to seriously.

Like they don't have any games like that...

It's never been their main focus though.

The core gamer is and always will be their bread and butter.

Can you honestly say that about Nintendo or Microsoft?

The only reason it wasn't the main focus is because people didn't want it. If Sony could have the success Nintendo or MS had, they'd love it. You're basically trying to pat them on the back for not harping on a product that the market said no thanks to.

And of course since it was a dud, Sony is now trying to act as if they are above it. Just like when they were being sued for the rumble stuff, suddenly they had no rumble and it was a "last gen feature". They the lawsuit is over and suddenly rumble is cool again.

Move was never pushed as the next coming of Jesus. 

Didn't say that, doesn't change Sonys R&D expendatures, nor would that change what I previously said.

It has also sold over 15M units (Move controllers only), so hardly a failure.  Of course, that number was from before the holidays kicked into gear, so most likely it is closer to 18M, now.  Again, hardly a failure.  I'm actually surprised it went on to sell so much, given its little amount of advertising compared to the Kinect.

As far as R&D goes, I'm sure the majority of the R&D for the Move went on during the PS2's lifecycle, as they were already showing prototypes of it in 2001.

Looks like ads Sony would make. Which is a bad thing.

I saw one myself. It said "There are no Red Rings here. 2/20." Not kidding.

Wow. They are really stepping up on the arrogance. Sony really knows nothing about being fairplay...


Fair play? In any industry? Really?

 

OT: well lets hope that they actually deliver on the 20th

Yeah, really. But then again, a man can dream.

If anything it's the casual gamer who bought the Wii for games like the Wii sports etc who should feel betrayed , nintendo said it was not a gimmick but a superior gaming interface .


I sort of don't understand why should casual gamer feel betrayed?

think about it casual gaming tied to the Wii mote was heavily pushed  .I saw heaps of adds with dad coming home from work and playing wii with the kids so nintendo new the demographic that where buying the Wii ,now the Wiiu is out and we have another interface and they've dropped the Wii's support like a hot rock  the hardcore will move on but there will be a lot of Wii's put into the closet next to the exercise machines.


I see now.

LOL!  A biased article from a biased site.  You may want to try harder next time if you want to be taken seriously around here.

Yes. I can honestly say that Nintendo "care" about the core gamer.
