What's the Japanese word for "move"?
I ask because as a long-time Anime fan I know that some of the most ridiculous sounding things come up because of a literal translation from Japanese where it doesn't sound quite
so silly, and apparently the way the language works is funementally differant structure wise which matters as well.
That said I'm not a huge fan of "motion controllers" to begin with as I've said before, so really I'm not all that excited.
Not to mention the fact that this product is being pitched for "only $100", which is not exactly cheap. Making this yet another overpriced Sony product, and really if anything is going to help kill it, it's that. $100 for a gimmick that may or may not catch on? Not to mention the fact that they are releasing this come spring time, yet I can't remember hearing about any games involving it that are going to be released at the same time. Paying $100 for something you hope will be supported is quite a lot, and even if they come up with a couple of titles, again paying $100 for a device to play a couple of games isn't really all that much more attractive.
This will sound ridiculous, but I'd think that if they REALLY want this to catch on they would be giving it away for free, or really, really cheap and hoping that if they got enough of a base out there they could make it up selling the games that this would allow them to develop.
Like the whole "PSP Go" thing, and "Playstation Home" I frequently can't help but wonder what Sony is thinking.
. It's really just how you want to take it.
