I've notice a complete lack of PS3 marketing and product placement around here. Is it a doomed experiment that well fail soon...or perhaps has already failed.

did any one pick one up at all? Pstt, I'm the only sucker?

My theory is simple why the move well go the way of the powerglove, as a good experiment gone bad.

1) distrubtion of hardware. It has been a chore to find a second standalone controller, to control PS move games (like the fight) properly.
2) over priced hardware. If you get the move (here it is $100), and than hunt for a second controller for $60.00, your getting into the range of getting a kinetic anyhow. Sony really should have bundled both controllers with the move.
3) Games. Sony PS games kind of took a hit on graphics, and game play, and trying to nudge the Wii out of the causal market without anything really new, is just silly. (Though yes ths PS Move sprots do respond quicker and more accurate).
4) Marketing: AS mentioned marketing sucked, were Kinetic has made such a big push its impossible to ignore.

So what do you think will Move survive?

They're doing quite well given they haven't put out the marketing blitz that Microsoft did. Somewhere over 4 million sold already.

What Sony is doing right is rather than looking at "intuitive" motion controls which is the angle the Wii was going for (although they're doing some of that too), is they're working on good use of motion controls, like with FPS games. I'm hearing RE5 and MAG are quite good with the Move, and several more games are coming out with it as well. As someone who loves FPS games, but hates playing them with a gamepad, I'm quite looking forward to the potential the Move brings.

Its the best of all those Motion Controller systems by a mile... Micro$oft sank $250 million into advertising on the Kinect, just because you see and hear commericals for it more doesnt mean its better.

Sony doesnt even advertise that its a 3D BluRay player and will do 3D gaming too.. Sony in the West really doesnt seem to give 2 shits and just rolls whatever way they want.

Sony does advertise that it does Blu-Ray. It's part of their "It Only Does Everything" ad campaign.
