Do you know what the downmarket wants?

BHR-3 said: nice thread i agree the ps3 is also going to get its motion on earlier than natal it will kick start things for HD motion controls just like the 360 did for HD gaming back in 06 2010 will be a great year for the ps3 gaming and sales wise i believe it will sell even more HW than wat it will this year and this year its looking like it will be near 13mill WW dont forget ps home is gettin a FF13 space and costumes by next year too

I am glad some says something postive on this.

Yes, and you can see it too, look at the big games on Wii, they aren't immersive games, they are games you can play for a few minutes and put down, games you can play socially, games that can fit into your life, this is what the downmarket wants

And you don't think sony will try that.

They got to try in get in on the monopoly that is the wii.

You and me both.

I dont like the sound of  the "casual, shooter and sports" as the focus of motion controls. Sports games suck with it imo, shooters are more of a burden to me and i dont like the "family casual" games. So it looks like if this is where theyre heading im passing just like i thought i would.

Im more curious is that new leaked breakable wand duo to sixaxis is accurate because they cant possible expect people to single fist a dual shock and make it "immersive".

Big meh from me, except what dragonmagician said, thats got me excited.

I agree.  It'll be very hard for Sony to gain a foothold in the motion control-embracing market.  They'll probably get a few hardcore guys like me onboard, partly because we're Wii fans and partly because we recognize the positive additions the controls will bring to games like LBP, and they'll probably get a few people on board that were thinking of buying Wiis in addition to their ps3s, but as for the Wii market, I doubt they'll convince too many people to buy ps3s, for a variety of reasons:

1.  They already have Wiis!  With far more motion based software than the ps3.  They might as well get them to "upgrade" to ps3 for more challenge, "hardcaore" games like Fallout rather than motion controls with shinier graphics.  The Wii is so successful becuase it has brought millions of new people into gaming, and the best Sony can hope to grap from Nintendo are people who are looking for a more challenging experience than Wii Sports.  But even then, the Wii has games like this to cater to the expanded audience, like Zelda.

2. Why would they spend $299+ on what is essentially a Wii HD, only a Wii HD with no Nintendo titles?

3. For those that own neither console yet, how will they convince them to pick up a controller when Nintendo apparently could not?

Sony is late to the party on this one.  They will make the ps3 a more valuable proposition by offering more ways to play, yeah, but they won't cash in on the expanded market like Nintendo has.

This thread must be some kind of a trap, two people banned already.

I have difficulty believing that he means PSP Go is exceeding their intentions. PSP has been down worldwide by significant amounts against 2008 even with the launch of the Go. In terms of revenue, they may be making more since Go costs an arm and a leg. But for hardware, the PSP forecast was raised, not lowered or held the same from 2008, and just in the USA PSP is down 1/4 in Oct-Nov even with the Go.  It will be down by a quarter or more in December too.

1.What sony needs to do is make hardware to make wii owners put down there wii.

2.I don't think people buy a wii all for nintendo games.

3.That one guy from the commerical will get them.

Like i said before They want to take som eonf the wii popularity.
