Forums - Gaming Discussion - PS2Wii vs PS3

dnnc on 09 February 2008

The EGM Rumor Mill reports on their March 08 issue that Sony will most likely release a motion sensing controller for PS2, my question to everyone here is.

Do you think this will have any kind of impact on the PS3, 2008 is being regarded as the year of the PS3, but can this move by sony end up hurting themselves instead, sure the PS2 is all paid off, but the PS3 is still BROKE!!!

Will this move give PS2 owners just one more reason not to upgrade. (price and games being the others) 

And will the $299 PS3 be a reality this july, and what will be the catch?



my signature went on strike, it's demanding 3% raise

i dont think that a motion sensing controller for the ps2 is even near to be a good reason for someone to prefer a lastgen console over a nextgen console...

 Outside of a gimmick controle, what makes the Wii more next-gen than the PS2?

Nintendo mascots (tireless plumber and his bands of thugs) and rabid Nintendo fanboys?

 I'm talking it from a gameplay perspective. The Wii's gimmick is it's unique controller. If the PS2 had that as well, I don't really see what the would have offer that would make it head-in-shoulders above the PS2.
