Sony: The Playstation Move Is Not Just A Wii-Mote Tacked On To A PS3
All you gamers out there who think that the Playstation Move is nothing but a Wii-mote for the Playstation 3 think again.
According to Sony’s UK PR boss David Wilson…
“It’s inevitable that people would say this is Wii on PS3. But we see it as a complimentary product. It’s a different proposition. And let’s not forget, we’ve been in this space before with EyeToy and all the rest of it. There are learnings there. It’s not alien territory for us but we need to educate people about the potential that it has.”
Then sales director Mark Howsen chipped in with…
“Wii was deliberately pick up and play. We completely understand that and, let’s be honest, they’ve done a superb job. I think with Move it’s all about appealing to skill. It’s about the learning curve that’s built into the experience. It provides that satisfaction you’re talking about. The more you play the better you get. That’s part and parcel of the traditional gaming experience.”

It never ceases to amaze me how many words sales people can use to say so little
Of course Sony are not going to admit that Move is just a Wii Remote for the PS3, they’ve spent the last three years telling us that the Wii’s motion capture was a fad and now they release a product that looks a hell of a lot like it.
I’m far more excited by what Microsoft will do with Natal. At least they are trying to do something that is better/different to the Wii Remote
