Forums - Sony - New PS3-mote controller pictured

daactualfact on 10 July 2008

If Sony really does something like this, I may lose A LOT of my respect for them. I grew up with Sony because they made smart decisions. I don't want them to pull a Microsoft, a.k.a. Stupid, move on us. The Wiimote is great. I don't want a copy of it. Sony should wait next gen then bring their motion device.



Damn things have changed since 2009 began. Here are my new visions for the end of the generation.

 

Wii: 135 mil

Ps3: 85 mil

360: 60 mil

I wonder how much an additional controller will get use -- regardless of what it does.

That has always been the case in gaming, the add-ons don't see a lot of action. For example, there was one game for the mini-steering wheel for the Atari 2600 and about a dozen or so paddle games and keypad games for the system; only a handful of Powerpad games and about a dozen gun games for the NES; a few Menacer or Super Scope games in the Genesis and SNES lineup; and less than a dozen games required the Eye Toy on the PS2.

In other words, if the controller is not a regular part of the system (even if it came with the system), it won't get much use.

Thus, I do not expect motion senor controllers to mean much for the PS3 or Xbox 360 or any system which they were not the controller around which the system was built.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

god I just hope whatever Sony and MS's plans are for a motion control, they don't take Nintendo's terribly un-ergonomic design -_-; I LOATHE holding the Wii-mote, it's just so damn uncomfortable >

By that logic then Guitar Hero should be a total failure, right, and the Wii Balance Board would also be the worst idea to come out of Nintendo R&D  since the inception of the gamecube?

 

These devices do not have to be standard, it is possible to have optional peripherals.  Maybe they won't sell 20 million of the things, but that doesn't mean that they will automatically be epic failures either.

Sony is terrible at releasing content for there other controllers. I learned this with the playstation eye.

comming gen imo every console will have a sophisticated motion control from the start and I guess we will see some prototypes released for the HD consoles along the way (not that much to have a selling point, for at this point in time it just isn't one, but to get consumer feedback/know-how etc.)


but that pretty clearly is a fake
