This is the comment of the week by YO on the Sony PS3 VR 3D Game Controller post, well done and thanks to everyone for all your comments and feedback:
Haruku.
This is what Sony has been talking about all this time. Ever since the movie Minority Report in I think 2001 Sony has said they’ve always wanted to replicate the motion gloves that Tom Cruise uses. There are inteviews from Phil Harison dated in 2002 with him talking about motion control and patents that have been filed with motion technology all way before Nintendo had the idea to add motion control. Sony copied Nintendo? give me a break. Sony has interviews, article wriiten upon it, patents filed all for motion control and eyetoy with motion control all before Nintendo announced it. Nintendo came up with motion controllers first why becasue they announced it first? no its not who announces it first came up with the idea first. You have motion control for the PS2 so because Nintendo annouced it for the Wii does this mean Sony can’t have motion for the PS3? Bollocks to that, Nintendo copied and they are ruthless business men just like everyone else. You are in a belief that the boses at nintendo are angels.
And Sony hasn’t lost Metal Gear, it has to be announced that Metal Gear is going to 360 not rumoured. If you believe in rumours than heres one for ya, Nintendo is leaving the console race. But then you only choose what you want to believe as long as it make you happy and its possitive towards Nintendo. Developers are praising the PS3 more and more and there is going to be more Killer apps this year for PS3 than any other console. You also now getting developers building their codes for PS3 and then going to port them to 360. It was 360 first because they have been making these games for a while now and only had 360 development kit long before PS3 kits, so they’ve had no choice to develop for the 360 first. Now that the PS3 kits are there and Sony providing them with more tools and better support. The developers are slowly getting grips with the PS3’s arcitecture and staring to develop for PS3 first. More developers are coming out saying how powerful the PS3 is. You may say that all because they are with Sony but your wrong on most off that. 2nd party yes they’re bound to say this however Lair, Resistance are 3rd party and are independent, they choose to develop for the PS3 over the rest. Lair guys made the Star Wars games on Gamecube and now they choose the PS3 even though its the most difficult to develop for out of the 3. Ninja Theory seem to only develop for the most powerfullist thats why the went to the xbox from PS2 and now there coming back to the PS3 with rumoured of a next Dead or Alive being exclusive to PS3. I take this with a pick of salt but won’t say it can’t happen if Ninja Theory love the more powerful console. Haze is another where its being built from the ground up for the PS3, this is why its a timed exclusive. Another thing about Metal Gear being exclusive is that Hideo Kojima has already stated that he wants to utilise the blu-ray disc and DVD 9 is just not big enough. He has also dead that everyone of his team is dedicated to developing Metal Gear on PS3 dev kits for the PS3. He says he would never split his team to work on 2 different platform simultanously. If there was to be a metal gear on 360 the PS3 version would have been on the store shelf way before they started on the 360 so it could be like a year or more after the PS3 release before you see a 360 release. Metal Gear 3 never came to xbox.
No matter how good you think the wii-mote is the fact is that it only works for gimmicky party games, those type of games get boring quick and the Wii lacks AAA titles. I’ve read so many posts from people who got bored after 2 weeks, the motion control wears off just like anything else. At the end of the day its all about the quality of the games not how we play them but what we play. The only way to keep playing is to constently have a good line-up of quality games. otherwise you stop playing. PS3 had a better launch line-up than the Wii.If the PS3 had a lower price then every PS fanwould have bought one. The Wii has a low price point and thats a main factor for the Nintendo fans to buy one and don’t forget you nintendo fans have had a gap from console games due to the lack of anything for the cube for the remainder of 2 years of the cubes life, so your bound to jump to the Wii. The Wii hasn’t been bought for the many titles available but rather for the wii-mote, but then the games stop and you end up using the virtual pad more than the wii-mote for the virtual Console games. And the excitement of the motion control fades and its all down to the games again and thats where the fun ends when you find it a constent release of party games all the time and no real killer apps or AAA titles form 3rd publishers. 3rd Publishers are also losing out and getting frustrated with sales as the Majority of software sales is coming from Nintedo and this shouldn’t be the case, its lucy for some that Wii development isn’t constly when they make simple games with no gfx, AI, physics, etc.
My mates has been holding back buying a Wii till Metroid and Mario Galaxy comes. He is a biased Nintendo fan and he honestly said that he’d be lying if he said that he’s looking forward to loads of games, thats the only 2 he wants and Zelda isn’t enough to buy a console for. At the end of the year when more titles come for the holiday season the only ones buying Wii titles will be Nintendo fans and a small minority of kids buying fun games and shrek type games. There isn’t anything to look forward to, the Wii’s out, the buzz is gone for its capabilities and the console won’t evolve and Nintendo say they want to sell 35 million in the US in 5 years. The technology was out of date when they first came up with the specs. 2012 we will all have HD TV’s with HD content all around us and the Wii will be the only ones with out it all. Its like if 1st ipods are still selling now. It gets old and people want the next thing. The PS2 lasted becasue of the amount of quality titles through the years that kept it alive. This isn’t going to happen with the Wii and will end up like the Cube. Wii sales are only slightly better than what the Cube was in the same time period and probably less than what the N64 was. Its always a promissing start then after acceleration a complete halt, very much like the cheetah. Sony products are like a running camel in the desert, not as fast but can keep up the pace longer than anything else.
There is so much more as well about the PS3’s evolvment and soon everyone will be buying Blu-ray players when Blu-ray is the next format and the heavens are saying it will. Nintendo fans will be eating there words in the future and I can’t wait.

Wii is now & later!
Nintendo is original & will make something ultra powerful in the future after taking in a few more billion!
“Nintendo fans will be eating there words in the future and I can’t wait.”
What? You mean like you Sony fanboys ate your words when the Wii launched?
OMG the guy who wrote that whole comment must be an idiot. In his first paragraph all he does is keep rephrasing the same thing over and over. I’m to tired to argue, but the Wii WILL be a killing factor for the PS3 whether you like it or not. And SSBB and all the other good games that are about to come out are going to be the final nails in the PS3’s coffin.
I agree with you so much. I love you!
Right… why did you say Sony has lots of exclusives? Sony has a handful of exclusives at most, and then most of these are either first party or have been paid off by SCE.
At the start of the article your aim was to compare the Wii and PS3, yet the Wii receives a smaller mention than the 360.
You might be a biased Sony fanboy who thinks they will dominate another generation, but soon you will have to accept it will not happen.
Sony made the mistake of becoming arrogant in the same way Nintendo did with the N64, in that they feel they can do what they want because they are so successful, but what they fail to realise is that the market does not feel the same way.
Sony might lower the price of its console, but if its lost all support at that point then it may be too late.
Even if Xbox and Playstation produced AAA after AAA game they would still have a smaller console market than the Wii, Why? Because they are aiming at different markets with different market saturation rates.
Wii has the potential to reach over a 300 million user base by 2014, PS3 and Xbox 360 do not.
The wii does get boring after a while.2 months and i had enough.Zelda was great.Games like call of duty 3 and doulbe agent don’t work too well for it and red steal is overrated,you don’t have as much movement with the sword as you think.
The party games are fun for a few days but then what.It’s left gathering dust.
The mojority of people buying the wii aren’t harecore gamers so there not going to be playing much after awhile.
Nintendo are trying to cater for everyone but it’s mainly the average person there marketing.
In the end the thrend will end.
(I’d probably buy one again if there was more games that interest me “real games”.
remember betacam and vhs who win?if you want to talk aabout graphic
totally boring!!!!!!
Yea there was motion sensing for the ps2 but like the ps3 it was only tilt, and sony didn’t make the ps2 motion controller it was a third party that did that. And nintendo’s tilt controller is obviously alot more different and advanced from just tilting it side to side. And what does he mean the constant release of part game, Rayman raving rabbids and mario party 8, ffs, do your research try Red steel, heatseeker, sonic and the secret rings, Zelda the twilight princess, Excite truck, super mario strikers charged and many others out to come like disaster day of crisis, mario galaxy, project H.A.M.M.E.R., super smash bros brawl, Metroid Prime corruption, battalion wars 2, Manhunt 2, Madden, Nights, Ghost squad, fire emblem, Resident evil 4 and umbrella cronicoles, WWE smackdown vs raw and there are many more. People who say the wii is littered with party game are clearly misled or just plain ignorant and want to come up with a quick reason to persuade people not to buy the wii, ignorant fan boy.
I could NOT careless who console sell more units.
There are millions of chevys and a few BMW.
The ps3 is what i want, i want the best, you can go with the rest of lumbs.
The WII just sell ilusions…let me xplain, the wiimote can detect movement, but not acurate, it randomly select the direction and speed, creating a FALSE ilusion of controling at the exact angle, speed, velocity, etc.
In a expo i saw how 2 play tennis with the wii, a young man, putting his best to try to emulate how in the real life he would use the raquet, long and detailed swuim, just like a dance, versus a child, the child just use one hand not like the other man try to balance their body and movement, putting the rigth leg in front and the other behind to maximixe the strike.
so the child, standing normal, with one hand in his jeans pocket, and the hand with the wiimote at chest high, and using just his fingers, move so slightly the wiimote, a fairytale shake more her magic stick, anihilated the other man.
It was so funny see that boy win the tournament and earn a pre-release wii brand new, and look so bored just moving his fingers, but was more funny the faces of other people when saw how the boy win each round, and his oponnent look awful dancing, swiming, make more exercise that if playing a real tennis match and still lose.
Thats why the wii sell just ilusion.
And yea in the future every one will probably be buying blue ray players but by that time there will be another set of console, the next gen, this is one reason why the ps3 is to ahead of its time.
