this should have been in gaming section.

it's for both PS3 and X360.PS3 comes out next year ,a few months after the X360 one.

I don't think they will catch on though.but i love to be proved wrong.

It will have a bigger chance of catching on being for both platforms.  Two small userbases give a developer more incentive to create a game for it.  But still, it has a huge, huge, hill to climb to be successful.  Wonder what the price tag will be on this thing.

Q4 this yr, good luck to them. Wonder if MS really should have bothered trying to be first with it.

btw, its a remote. Nintendo lawyers will have a field day.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

lets see

GDC will reveal more secrets & mysteries that shroud that game!

Hopefully!

I do wonder how the Wii will fare if this catchs on ....

 

Come on seece...for it to cause any harm to wii it will need BIG advertising.....will the companies do that? who knows

It depends how much Microsoft gets behind this, I mean it is the route they seem to be taking, casual gaming.

If it does ... and devs start using it on the PS360 ... what will be the Wii's unique selling point?

Nice looking do-dad. Now what about software?

Interesting, but, I don't think it will be big on PS360 as it is purely an add-on vs main component of the system.

Plus, unless I'm missing something in the details, I don't see how the sonic pulses could give you the IR functionality the Wiimote has. That is actually pretty darn useful in many games and has a lot of benefit for Shooters.

Oh well, guess we'll see how this unfolds over the holiday sales.

So its finally happening....

This reminds me of those golf controllers that were all the rage for about five minutes last generation.

These are third-party entries that attempt to make the Xbox 360 and PS3 more "Wii-like" (whether they want to admit it or not) in their game selection.

They will sell a few units and be forgtten. These are not items that are good for the consoles or that will drive sales.
