Is Sony wasting their time with the motion controller?

After watching E3 I wasn't impressed the the PS3's new motion controller. It doens't appear to be anything different from the Wii and it certainly isn't as cool as the Kinect, I thought it appeared they were taking a step backwards while Microsoft and Nintendo took a step forward. What do you think on this topic? Will you buy the wand?

i think that motion controls are a waste of time period instead of wasting time with that they can come up with some new ips or improve on existing ones

Sony's move looked a hell of alot better than Microsoft's Kinect. Any Xbox360 owner who watched that conference mostly felt embarrassed to even have one after the tiger petting

In my ever so honest opinion, I think people are assuming rather than knowing the full potential of these motion controllers. Kinect or Move - it doesn't matter. We haven't had the chance to utilize these pieces of technology ourselves and have no idea how they will compare to the Wii until they are released.

It depends on the games they're used for. So far what I've seen I have no reason to buy it. But give me a game like the elder scrolls where I can run around and shoot precisely with my bow at stuff or use one hand as a shield and the other as my sword in an open world, and I'm in!

I wouldn't say motion controllers are a waste of time. I agree Sony could probably be using this time to develop other things, but right now motion controllers are the in thing. They have to compete with Microsoft and personally I like the look of the Move a whole lot more than I like Kinect. Also Sony is working on 3D which I think is great, so they are working on other things and developing the PS3.

Yep I know, I just hoped they actually DO IT. Imagine playing oblivion with the move, I would love double wielding weapons and stabbing 2 people at once omgomgomg. lol

If there is a market for it and people buy it, it's not a waste of time. After the Sony Conference, I went from a probably not on the move to maybe will.

I think Sony might have some luck with the Move. If somebody wants a PS3 and they've also got little kids, well, there's one system that can fulfill all their needs. And they've sold like a trillion Wii's so it's not surprising that Sony would make some attempt to go after the casual market. I think they really need to establish some big franchises and advertise the crap out of them on the Cartoon Network or whatever to get little kids interested in it though.

Dude imagine playing games like Mount & Blade on ps3 but with a bigger budget, better graphics, etc.

I think that would be epic.

From what I have heard, it seems like move is actually something. Sure it is a more precise wii remote, but that is what everyone wanted in the first place. Move is what Wii should have been out of the box. Heavy Rain, Socom 4, Little Big Planet 2, Slycooper, the shoot, and Time Crisis are getting support. We have a point and click adventure game, a third person shooter, a create you own game thing, a platformer, and 2 on rails games plus quite a few more games. As far as support goes, Sony has done way more than Microsoft with Kinect and Nintendo has with motion plus. There are like 30 titles coming between september and early 2011, the other companies don't have that with their devices and one of them has been out for about a year,

I don't think that Sony is wastng their time. It's good so we can have an alternative way of playing games. :D
