So a Wii is half the price.

Considering that the market for this type of control is nowadays casual/family gamers, I don’t think Sony will have much success.

Other than that, Nintendo innovated, and Sony copied the idea. This has always been, and probably always will be, a “me too” device.

That said, I do have a small hope Sony finally uses motion controls for their full potential, instead of suffocating the market with casual/family garbage like on the Wii. Like so many others, I was so excited for the Wii…and so roundly disappointed that 95% of the games are lazy cash-ins, or that developers put in about half the effort into a kiddie/super-deformed-bobbly-head port of their “real” PS3/360 games, and then they complain there’s no market for 3rd party games on the Wii. They throw in a few motion gimmicks and call it a day, then cry when it doesn’t sell. It’s practically insulting. So Sony definitely could exploit that underserved market.

-What the name ‘Clown Penis’ was already taken?

-Apparently so was contrildo.

So in addition to the questionably named Wii and iPad, we now have something that may have been inspired from this: tinyurl.com/sonyinspiration? (the hitachi magic wand)

That does make me wonder… does it have rumble?

The PS3 fans got their PS3 mainly for particular games, blue ray, or any of the other features. Nintendo had it right when they made the Wii and now that Sony sees that, they’re gonna try to take away Nintendo’s “different” advantage to draw down their sales for FUTURE gamers (but by that point, the next gen consoles may have already come out and Sony will have been too late.

That’s my two cents.

I think Sony is going to have some trouble tapping into a market that Nintendo has already taken over. Other than that issue, I can’t wait to try this out. Even if it IS a Wii with better graphics… That’s what I want.
