Sony Playstation Move Videos Hitting the Internet

I got this news from reading Sankaku Complex. It seems videos are getting leaked of the Playstation Move, Sony's imitation of Nintendo Wii's motion controller technology. In previous posts, I had mentioned that this technology does not interest me. This statement still stands, and for two reasons. One, I don't like motion controller technology as a whole compared to a console controller. Two, I don't want to pay more than a hundred dollars for this technology. I don't care how promising it is.


Playstation Move is an obvious copy of the Nintendo Wii, with better graphics. Sony may be able to pull off some good games with the system, but I am getting tired of motion controls- I don't like them. Nintendo has also created this competition, and companies such as Sony and Microsoft wish to emulate their success. I'm not defending the Nintendo Wii in any way- I own the system and I enjoy playing it, but I love my PS3 even more.


Sony and Microsoft (respectively, Playstation Move and Project Natal) have been copies of motion capturing technology, and both companies have failed to inform consumers what has been improved over the Wii. Why should I buy it over the Wii? Don't give me the graphics excuse, I want a real answer.
