Sony just can't be original, can they... The controller is a slightly modified Wiimote, and the camera is an old product.
Now Nintendo just needs to add HD, 3D ('cos it's hip), more power, a wireless nunchuck, built in 1:1 and 3D-deep motion, and a camera built into the motion sensor to the Wii 2, and get ready to swim in cash for 4 or 5 more years.

Let me be really honest with you. I won't be surprised if Nintendo of Japan (America won't) sues Sony before the controller comes out. I had this dream were Howard Stringer was sued and committed suicide, then Sony went bankrupt.
Don't you think that Sony is smart enough to avoid a legal battle, even if it is by a very small margin? Clearly they're making it as close to the Wiimote possible without it actually being a Wiimote, so I assume they know exactly what things not to do to avoid getting sued.

I was planning on making a blog about this on my Gamespot account later. I really don't think this is going to do well, but I don't really want to get into that right now. Basically, it's not that original, the motion control gimmick is losing its luster, and there's no incentive to transition from the Wii to this thing, especially considering buying a wii is cheaper than buying a PS3 and the Playstation Move.

For some odd reason when I read your post for the first time I somehow connected HD to movies and Dvds.

Besides, the biggest use for motion is casual gaming, like family/party/family party games, which the PlayStation lacks, if compared to the Wii's huge casual catalogue.
Of course, with the arrival of Move, tons of casual games will start being developed for the PS3. Then we won't be able to say "PS3 has no games" anymore. Heh.
The only good use of this technology is shooters, really. And Wii games like The Conduit and Metroid Prime Trilogy show this (not mentioning Modern Warfare Reflex because it's a port, and the motion detecting isn't that good).
Also, if Nintendo wanted to sue Sony and had enough basis for it, then the Move wouldn't have gotten over its planning phase. I think that the use of the lightbulb and Eye camera (which as far as I know is mandatory) stopped Ninty from suing Sony. Without those, Move would be the PlayStation Wii.

You're right, it probably won't change anyone's minds if they're buying a system--most people who care about motion control already has a Wii. But it might make a difference when buying games from now on. If you have a game that depends on motion controls, and you can get it on either system, wouldn't you get it for the system that has greater power and better graphics? They're advertising that the control of the Move will be more precise than than Wii, too.
I'm not saying people will think this way, but from a purely objective standpoint, it's sound reasoning, and I can totally understand why they're doing it. Now that Nintendo has made the motion gameplay well known, as long as Sony can produce interesting titles they'll probably make enough money for the project to be worthwhile.

We can't really say that now either. The PS3 has over 115 exclusive disc based games.
The other good use of the technology is for evolving the "point and click" genre, as the Wii-Mote can be used as a substitute for the mouse pretty well.

Ah, that's a good point. This reminds me of beating "Secret of Monkey Island" in my Wii, via the SCUMM emulator, in a whole day. Good times.
I'm still wondering how the hell the Move's lightbulb works. What, is it a plastic orb that turns itself on when you enable the controller? How breakable is it? How does it compensate for its lack of ability to double as a dildo like the Wiimote does?

Hm, I don't consider it THAT much of a potential dick move. You wanna know about dick moves?
Nintendo annouces Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Wii at launch (I think). Everyone buys a Wii because of it. Nintendo then pulls a fast one, releasing Twilight Princess back down on the Gamecube where it was originally intended to be released.

We all know that Gamecube sold greatly less than Ps2 and Xbox so I suppose it was a smart move to bundle a new Zelda game with it's new console. And Gamecube owners got their own version too.
I prefer Nintendo over Sony and Microsoft simply because Nintendo develops games too.

actually, i think the wiimote + gave it a 3d dimension. im not sure cause i dont have one

That's thinking too linearly. If Zelda was released on the Gamecube first, it would have increased Gamecube sales quite a bit!
I just think it's a major dick move because my Wii is currently collecting dust...and I've owned 10 games total...because only 10 games interested.
I've actually owned more original titles on the PS3 than the Wii, none of them are FPS.

Correction: Nintendo announces Zelda: Twilight Princess for a November 2005 release on the GCN. Director Eiji Aonuma has the game delayed to include additional content and for fine-tuning, slating the game for a late 2006 release. He decides launching the game on only one console would be unfair to owners of the other, so the game is made a dual-release to help transition people from the GCN to the Wii.
Long correction short: best to get the facts straight before declaring something to be a "dick move".

See, I don't get the whole "Wii gathering dust" argument. If you're not using your Wii, and obviously don't have many games for it, just sell it and stop complaining. Obviously it isn't your main console of choice, so owning it and complaining about a lack of games for it that appeal to you is rather redundant.

It doesn't change the fact that's it's a dick move. There wasn't a dual release, as the GCN version was actually released later than the Wii version, forcing one to buy a Wii in order to play Twilight Princess. I'll admit it wasn't a whole lot later, however the release date for the GCN version wasn't really made public. Even myself, an avid Nintendo fan, was surprised at the released of Twilight Princess on the GCN a month later. I could have saved 400 dollars until Brawl came out, while only spending $80 then on a game I could have just played on the GCN.

Ah, but Other M and Mario Galaxy 2 will be out for the Wii soon enough. More or less, there is still my homebrew as well and WiiWare. "Sell it and stop complaining"? But what if I want to keep it? I don't see that as being redundant. If I kept buying games for it, then continually complaining about how they didn't interest me, that'd be redundant.
Obviously not everyone is going to be as pleased with your console of choice as you are, but as a console that gets inferior cross-platform releases and overly silly, and slowly degrading, 3rd party games...well, it could really use some support from companies that matter. Thus, not a lot of games appeal to me on the console. It doesn't mean I don't like it, and it definitely doesn't mean I should sell it simply because it isn't my main console.
Besides, this is a topic about the PS3 anyway.

It's not any different than us Samurai Warriors fans who had to suffer the wrath of FANBOY RAGE when 3 was announced for Wii after being on Playstation until then. The fact that Wii is cheaper has been a thorn in the side of many a hardcore gamer, because a couple really cool titles have gotten shuffled there just because companies think they'll sell a lot more with a larger install base. Except that the majority of Wii sales are to casual gamers uninterested in Mad World and Muramasa, and many of the hardcore gamers who are interested have already modded their Wiis.
Sorry if you lose out on some games you like, but at least Wii is still easier to develop for. I doubt that any major Wii series will jump ship completely. I think it's more likely we'll see games developed for Wii and then crappily ported to PS3.

I hardly think a two week difference between different versions of a game during a system launch is much of an issue - those that buy the new system get the version of the game for that system right away, and those that can't/don't can still enjoy the game too after a couple of weeks. No one was forced to buy the game to play it on the Wii, nor were they forced to buy a Wii to play a game they wanted.
Both versions of the game were heavily publicized but of course the Wii version was going to get much more coverage, as it was a system launch title vs a standard GCN release. Still doesn't make it a "dick move", though. Maybe if they had never announced a platform switch until the last minute, or outright cancelled the GCN version in favor a Wii-only release, but that wasn't the case.

It seems I misunderstood you then. I thought you meant nothing interests you at all on the Wii. At least, that what the whole "gathering dust" analogy usually amounts to.
As for the topic - seeing as its about the PS3's motion controls, discussion about the Wii's (and 360's, for that matter) motion control options is more than applicable, though I suppose we can be a bit more on topic about it.

But, the only reason I'm so upset about this is because I don't want any of the series of games I play on the Wii to transfer to the Play Station 3 JUST because they copied the Wii and added better graphics to the mix. I'm poor, and I swear, if I get forced to buy another game system [and an expensive one at that] JUST for a single game [which I'd probably end up willing to do anyways] I'll never buy ANYTHING made by Sony again D=<
It's not any different than us Samurai Warriors fans who had to suffer the wrath of FANBOY RAGE when 3 was announced for Wii after being on Playstation until then. The fact that Wii is cheaper has been a thorn in the side of many a hardcore gamer, because a couple really cool titles have gotten shuffled there just because companies think they'll sell a lot more with a larger install base. Except that the majority of Wii sales are to casual gamers uninterested in Mad World and Muramasa, and many of the hardcore gamers who are interested have already modded their Wiis.
Sorry if you lose out on some games you like, but at least Wii is still easier to develop for. I doubt that any major Wii series will jump ship completely. I think it's more likely we'll see games developed for Wii and then crappily ported to PS3.
I just happen to be one of those hardcore gamers who has already modded his wii.
Winning is all that matters!

I hardly think a two week difference between different versions of a game during a system launch is much of an issue - those that buy the new system get the version of the game for that system right away, and those that can't/don't can still enjoy the game too after a couple of weeks. No one was forced to buy the game to play it on the Wii, nor were they forced to buy a Wii to play a game they wanted.
Both versions of the game were heavily publicized but of course the Wii version was going to get much more coverage, as it was a system launch title vs a standard GCN release. Still doesn't make it a "dick move", though. Maybe if they had never announced a platform switch until the last minute, or outright cancelled the GCN version in favor a Wii-only release, but that wasn't the case.

Um, it is an issue. Considering those two two weeks are around AU$400 difference.
The Wii versions was the only one heavily publicised, as the GCN version stopped getting attention once the switch was revealed. The most you were going to know about the GCN was a little "TBA" next to any pre-order list, not on any banners anywhere. They wanted Twilight Princess to be a console selling game. You gather up any TP poster you can find, I guarantee you, you won't find any GCN release date on it. Providing an option would make buyers who were still deciding on getting the console, like myself, realise they didn't really need it yet, because their long awaited Zelda game would be coming out for the console they still owned. It wouldn't force them into a decision, I guess is what I'm trying to say.
As a publicity and advertising campaign, it was a dick move.

It seems I misunderstood you then. I thought you meant nothing interests you at all on the Wii. At least, that what the whole "gathering dust" analogy usually amounts to.
As for the topic - seeing as its about the PS3's motion controls, discussion about the Wii's (and 360's, for that matter) motion control options is more than applicable, though I suppose we can be a bit more on topic about it.

The "gathering dust" analogy was referring to the fact that I haven't bought a game for it for a long time, thus I have had no reason to touch it. I mean, I have my Ace Attorney and Harvest Moon WiiWare on there and everything.
Yeah, but this isn't motion control orientated anyway. So, yes, we could be more on topic about it.

GameCube was a flop compared to Ps2, do you think Nintendo would have wanted to advertise Twilight Princess as a GC game at the same when their new console was about to be released? Advertising it only for Wii wasn't more of a dick move than releasing Castlevania Dracula X Rondo of Blood as a crappy SNES version in USA and Europe.
The "Playstation Move" is more a dick move than what you're talking about.

"More of" doesn't make Nintendo's dick move any less of a dick move.
See what I did there?

I don't think following the market is a "dick move," unless the point you were making is that none of them are dick moves, in which case, carry on...!
