In the end it'll be all about the games that companies come out with. There is some interesting potential depending on how it gets used. If you slip it into an action-adventure game it could do well. Maybe less for menus intensive games like JRPG, but something similar to Zelda where you are mostly running and fighting enemies as they turn up it be pretty fun.

Anyways I'm not planning on picking this up unless an interesting game comes out that this would work with.

This probably should have been posted in the PS3 thread, as it's the topic of the moment.

but anyway, if it was selling for around $100 thats about £65(but no doubt would be more than that) theres no way in hell I would fork out for that, I don't buy new games as they are bloody expensive as they are.
There would probably be only 1 very slim chance I would ever buy one and thats if they come out with a Star Wars game where I get to swing a lightsaber around as much as I want

Saying that I don't see any problems for Sony for trying this out, why not.

what I want is X-Com UFO Enemy Unknown on the Store!!!

Not interested, it's a stupid gimmick on the Wii and it's going to be the same for the ps3, and I doubt Natal is going to be much better.

The main reason it's a gamers console is the price tag, lets not act like cheap ps2 slims with Buzz, singstar, eyetoy and the like (included massive amounts of shovelware) weren't bought by casuals. The difference is the Ps2 was also a hardcore gamers paradise, it got the mix right, unlike the Wii.

Here's the latest NPD results for Feb in America.

Xbox 360 422.0K
Wii 397.9K
PlayStation 3 360.1K
PlayStation 2 101.9K

Who do you think is buying those Ps2s right now?

PS2's? easy people who are replacing their PS2's that break down, Sony is famous for their planned obsolescence policy. Which reminds me I need to replace my PS2 again...

Ah, I guess the 360 only beat the Wii this month due to half of that 400,000 rebuying their consoles due to red light of death ^________^

Wiii & Nintendo forever ^___^

Except sony is the only company that got a class action lawsuit over it. And nintendo replaces their consoles for free :P

AnimeFangirl · 2010-03-13, 03:40

They do, actually. Our Wii was brutally murdered by Smash Brothers and Nintendo replaced it for free because it was still under warranty, no questions asked. The only thing is that we lost all our saves

I think outside of a few games that Sony paid for to include Move support, we're not going to see much of it outside of ported mini game collections and what not. Unless of course Sony really plans to pay out of their own pockets for more flagship titles that utilize the Move.
