Oh, Sony, this is just too funny.

[SalamanderJoe]

WHAT?! No rechargable batteries for a bit of 'plug into the machine' tech?! NOOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[VanityGirl]

"color changing sphere"

That's pretty darn funny. How on earth is that a selling point? I mean, unless you want to use the Move as a, erm... 'special friend'.

 

[Cheesus333]

Whoah, well done Sony. You redesigned the Wiimote and integrated your own features to improve it.

And it only took four years...

OH BUT LOOK! COLOUR-CHANGING SPHERE!?

 

[Akalistos]

So, Sony released a chart, pitting Move against the Wii and Kinect--

Spoiler: The chart

The funny thing is, while the chart shows it clearly beating the Wii, it only has 2 more "Yes"'s than Kinect. What's funnier is that, the two extra "No"'s on Kinect, are actually selling points for Kinect; they aren't missing features.

The two are: "Buttons" and "Rechargeable Batteries"
Kinect has always sold itself as a controller-less piece of hardware that plugs into the 360. As in, not needing batteries. Also, being controller-less, it obviously won't have buttons. Also, Kinect WILL allow 360 controller support, so technically, you have buttons (Although, with that same technicality, you do now need batteries)

Also, in the feedback it mentions "color-changing sphere". Really? They traded audio feedback for that?

On the MOVE side, Kenect don't see black. It's not a joke, i saw a E3 coverage. Here, I'll post the link down below. Also, when did button became a liability to console? Didn't you play game before the WII? Anyways, I'll pick the Six-Axis controller before any of them any day.

lol thats awesome.

OT: I think Motion Controllers aside from Wii are stupid. I enjoy playing games on the wii that don't have a shit tone of movement and you can choose to do the massive movement or not. With kinetic you have to be standing up and no controller and such and with the move its to precise you need to move and be active.....i'm with yatzhee saying they should be coming up with ideas on how to make less movement.

Let's all return to the text base RPG and have a controller that read blinking.

Would you want to attack the army of Dragon
Blink one for yes and two for no._

No, i don't think that will work.

 

[Samus Aaron]

Here's a chart for you:

PS3 Move Bundle (minus a "nunchuck" controller like the wii)= $400

Just PS3 (with great hardware a collection of, and a capacity for more, great games) = $300

Do the math. No one wants to fork out double the money of a wii for a PS Move (AKA "Wii HD" essentially).

 

[heartshooter]

im not a fan of this motion control crap. to me, it's like 3d tv (i wont be investing in one of those either). i have an xbox and the only way i'll invest in kinect is if it becomes really cheap AND my girlfriend wants me to buy one, OR, it turns out to be the best thing since sliced bread.

 

[Alpha1Niner]

I'll give them a few months before I even consider getting any one of the them. Not only for price, but to work out any problems in the beginning (if they can that is).

No....but its a start lol. Plus Gaming is about relaxing not losing weight. If i want to lose weight then i will work out Do push ups and stuff not go buy a Controller or device that makes me exercise to win.

I do believe sloth is a sin... But if it help the immersion, i don't care. But it need to work.

 

[Twilight_guy]

And I should give a damn... Why exactly?

So Sony is trying to advertise and sell their product as superior. Sun shines, birds fly and brother, I hurt people businesses try to promote their products with half-truths and stupid ads. I'll just be glad once they release this non-sense and the gaming community can move on to hating something else, like maybe modern warfare 3 or the new popcap game or something.

So-the fuck-what?

It's a friggin' chart, Microsoft did the same exact god damn thing [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102236-Microsoft-Charts-Deem-Kinect-Cheapest-Versus-Competitors] just last week, and this chart was even shown in the same thread. Why the hell does it matter all of a sudden, what's so "funny" about it? Why be so smug about this when it's just a damn chart?

What exactly is the point of the glowing sphere? Was it somehow necessary? Was it needed to distinguish the Move from the Wiimote? Did they really think color feedback required a huge sphere?

Unless it's a hardware requirement, I can't figure out why it would be there. There are better ways you could send the same kind of color feedback without attaching a big, awkward ball to the end of your Wiimote magical move wand. If it is hardware requirement, they could have designed it better. I mean, the Wiimote doesn't have something like that.

All that chart showed me was just how similar Move is to the Wii. It certainly didn't demonstrate its superiority. OH WAIT IT HAS RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!

[sup]eh, might as well reply[/sup]

From what I've read, the Colored ball combined with the PSEye Camera thing allows the motion control to have depth and all sorts of techy things, like if you move the ball farther from the camera, the ball gets smaller, so then the camera makes the connection and makes the object smaller, allowing very acurate motions and supposed "true" 1:1 movement without the need of an attachment WiiMotion+ . So, yeah, I guess it's a hardware requirement.

But seriously, it's just a damn chart, why the hell does everyone have to make smug remarks, snarky comments, and go "HOHOHOHO SORNY, U DUN GOOFED!@#" It's a chart, a propaganda chart if you want, and again , so why is this surprising?

 

[Akalistos]

i work out everyday. I don't think its a sin to relax.

Relax? It's been a while since i hit the gym and i know there's nothing more relaxing then giving everything you have on every machines. So, i still don't see the problem of using Kenect, move or Wiimote in that way. On the other hand, i was one of the kid that bought the piece of junk camera for the gameboy so Kenect fail at the start to make my "to own" list.

I could care less about the chart. It's how poorly the spin is on the chart. You see, in Microsoft's chart, they spin the stuff to make the 360/Kinect look cheap. In here, they spin the PSMove to look... mediocre (when they're trying to make it look good!).

 

[science girl]

Frankly I prefer having a controller. It will take alot to convince me that either the kinect or move would be something worth buying.

 

[Ickorus]

Sony should have put in 'The ability to wear baggy clothing' as a plus point for them.

The chart looks fine to me, from what I'm reading it's just you going "OHHHHH SONY, YOU TRY TO MAKE CHART BUT IT LOOKS BAD TO ME!@# OOOOO U FAIL!@#", and if you're basing the value from just that snippet on the OP, it's not even the whole chart.

Spoiler

Again, I say so what? To me, that chart's pretty interesting as it shows that Kinect isn't the only one with the features that Microsoft hyped up at E3 (Second section, I doubt most people knew the Move/PSEye also had headtracking and voice recognition). It's a chart, a propaganda chart if you want to go that far. The Microsoft Chart only shows minimal features, concentrating on the overall cost through cherry picking. This chart shows as many features as it can with no costs shown, while cherry picking the features. It's just a chart, why does anyone have to get smug and snarky over a damn chart? You're a bit late to it anyway, this was a week ago, why does it matter?

A company promoting their own product while simultaneously downgrading their competitions? Perish the thought!

EDIT: I'm not trying to come off hostile here, I'm just saying it's a chart, why does it matter?

 

[tharglet]

Reminds me of this video of camera tracking failing to track the black guy. The video was obviously made in good humour. Just don't read the comments that people make.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4DT3tQqgRM

Lol, that reminds me of a face-tracking camera that a friend had. It was fine with males, but the camera seemed to be a male itself when looking at females... no my face is NOT down there...
