Sony: We expect Wii owners to jump ship to PS3 with move. *better source*

Source: GameDaily

From an interview with Industry Gamers:

IG asks: Do you literally anticipate that people who are Wii owners right now will say, 'Hey, here's another motion control system similar to Wii. I want to upgrade.' Do you believe you'll see a lot of that?

Answer:

"I think so, sure. That's definitely an audience that we're targeting. One of the beauties of the PS3 with the whole ad campaign, "It Only Does Everything," there's a lot to that. It could mean that a lot of families bring it into the house because it's a Blu-ray player, and [Move] is just another reason for them to bring it into the house. Maybe someone is sitting on the fence about whether or not to upgrade [to PS3] and this could lead them to do it." - Scott Rohde, Vice President of Sony Worldwide Studios

*Edited in case anyone gets confused*

Right because they have teh Mario and Zelda? To me the avearge Nintendo consumer is:

"Wow the PSmove, it looks like the Wiimote + nunchuck but without my favorite games"

Havent exactly met a Wii owner excited about blu ray

in order to jump ship they need it to be cheaper then the wii,discontinue the DS3 and make the move standard,and have some games families would actually like to play.but you cant expect nothing less from Sony and their arrogant selves

My Wife Is Getting REady To Sell Her Nintendo, To Get The PS Move... So It Is Going To Work....:lol:

Ha yeah right, they dont honestly think people are going to with the $300 price tag, and the controls being priced at $100 each do they? That will just lead them back to square one with a $600 console.

Casuals don't care. They won't care that Move is one milasecond better than the Wii motion +. They Will be enjoying Zelda Wii Motion plus while Sony releases games for Move that would be lucky to be half as good as it.

and the old Sony is back :lol: Fuhgeddabouditt

I am planning on eventually purchasing a PS3, but not for Move. For most games, I prefer the traditional control style anyways.

Really? I know plenty of Casual gamers that love Zelda. Now that it will have Motion +, it will be Casual Bait...

brennan7777

math is hard

300 + 100 = 400

400 =/= 600

If people didn't care about the wii's graphics, what makes sony think they care about bluray?

My sister only has one controller for her wii.

Of course they want Wii owners to jump ship.... but if they believe that it'll actually happen, then those people need to be fired & replaced by someone with logic.

Will some people that own Wii's buy it... sure they will... will the people who bought Wii's leave the Wii because Sony has a "wand" now? LOL, even asking the question seems ridiculous to me.

Sony's Wand = not standard

Wii's Wand = standard

Sony's Wand = coming late to the game by 4 years

Wii's Wand = has been established since launch 4 years ago

Granny has a Wii, Sony. You aren't gonna sell her a PS3.

If people didn't care about the wii's graphics, what makes sony think they care about bluray?

and alot of the 8-bit games are more fun than some of the games today...

How does it matter? If you are jumping from the Wiis ship, you better have a Wii.

Yeah because casuals buy so they can play alone right?

[QUOTE="Phaze-Two"] how much does Wii cost?

no sir they would not nintendo has many games that casuals love and would never give up mario for anything on the ps3...half of them dont even know that many games on the ps3 besides uncharted 2(not even #1)

I remember reading a thread earlier about Sony's arrogance, this might be a better recent example than the funny commercial.

Whats the appeal? better graphics? Thats all Sony has and Nintendo has an established pool of good motion based games, and their core games have been converted to motion controls. Sony needs to just hope that hardcore players will view it as being worthwhile.
