Sony Press Conference

[azncutthroat]

Is anyone else watching the Sony Press Conference on G4?

For those who haven't, Sony has just announced that they are going to introduce a motion-sensing controller (à la Wii) and they're showcasing a bunch of games that use the new feature.

Seriously, wtf Sony? You were going in the right direction with the 6-axis controller; don't take 2 fucking steps back!!

*Ahem*

So... what do my fellow Escapists think of Sony's move towards motion-sensing?

...wow. Next up: Microsoft announces that they're entering the console race!

Just announced implies that they announced it for the first time. This was first made a big deal at E3 8 months ago. They finally announced the real name for it (Move. Yeah, awesome name, I know. . . ), but it's still really unexciting. Move and Natal are trying to do something already deemed 'old really fast' in the wii market. Not saying it will be crap, but Im not hopeful. From a market standpoint, its brilliant. Wii has netted in so much money, it's expected for sony and microsoft to try and get in on that. With so many former non-gamers introduced to gaming by the wii, they can now look at the PS3 or 360 with same motion control concepts and other features (blu-ray, actually decent games, etc.) and get one of them.
