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

Didn't they all so expect all gamers to switch over to the ps3 at points throughout the past 3-4 years?

You obviously don't know much about "most Wii owners". Most Wii owners (especially those the do not post in gaming forums" care about family games and pick-up-and-play games, which are sorely lacking on the HD twins. Now you expect them to shell out hundreds of dollars for a PS3, and the Move, and games? Don't think so.

hm.... i didnt really get that 'we expect wii owners to jump ship' thing from the interview

the sony rep was just marketing the Move, in a surprisinly un-Sony way: by not saying anything stupid

it was a good interview... got the feeling that sony is excited about what Move can accomplish

Not happenin', Sony. Without the Nintendo name and brands, you've got no chance in hell.

Already have a PS3, gave up on my Wii long ago (still got it). So I'm already on board, anyone else?

Maybe, I mean, there are A LOT of weak-minded gamers and go on to the next stupid gimmick.

A Nintendo fan wont jump ship. Only people who aren't a fan of any particular system will be enticed by The Move and it's games.

math is hard

300 + 100 = 400

400 =/= 600shinrabanshou

Does that include the price for the sub controller and the 2nd wand you will need to be able to play some games how they were meant to be?

That's my problem and the reason casuals won't flock to the PS3 because of Move. It would be far more expensive than the Wii.

If the PSMove ends up offering a similar gaming experience to the Wii, in addition to it's current features, someone considering buying a Wii for their family, may look at it and think, should I get the Wii or the Wii HD which doubles as a Blu-Ray player.

The "IT ONLY DOES EVERYTHING" advertising will presumably try to drive home this message of "IT ONLY DOES Wii HD TOO"

Although on the whole I think it will have negligible effect on hardware sales.

Entry price is going to be a very big issue for the success of either PS Move or Natal. $400 to get a PS3 + Move Bundle will still be above the casual consumers price point. In this regard I think Natal sits in a very good position; With the rumored slim redesign that will lower the price or keep the price the same and bundle Natal with it. . .I think casuals will flock to it.

Also consider that if people have the Wii, Sony hasn't done enough to show how much MORE the Move can do. I think every agrees that they look almost identical. I think most consumers won't see enough of a difference to warrant a $400 investment in a Sony product. Natal however again is in a better position because it's CLEAR how different it is and will offer casuals a new experience for a cheaper price.

Maybe, I mean, there are A LOT of weak-minded gamers and go on to the next stupid gimmick.

interesting how people with 'different opinions' are 'weak-minded' to you...

Great, now crappy shovelware games like Game Party or Cruisn' Wii will end up on the PS3... :cry:

[QUOTE="Mario1331"]

[QUOTE="blues35301"] You'd have a point if that was the average nintendo consumer. The average nintendo consumer these days is a 40 year old soccer mom buying shovel ware titles for her kids and the family to enjoy. SilverChimera

i dont even know where half of yall get this demographic from im starting to believe yall amde this up....

this i could agree with

That average normal person who DOESN'T play games knows who Mario and Zelda are. My parents haven't played a video game in their lives and know who Mario is.

to me im just seeing you want the best of both worlds and by going to the move your still not going to get it this will never happen in any generation that a gamer would get their dream console ever..its to much pros and cons on each system

[QUOTE="Zaibach"]

Can someone please tell me what is soo special and awe inspiring about metroid, mario and zelda...arent these the same games people have been playing for about 2 decades?

RABicle

what are you 2 talking about nintendo has the games that families want to play and those are one of them...sony doesnt have any and if they want to succeed they need to have some casuals dont know a damn game on ps3 except U2...yes not the first one but the second one thats how bad it is

Mario is an icon... he has been around for quite a while.

also, if you want actual proof... have you checked Mario games sales on the wii lately? you might want to have a look

Well, I am an ex-Wii owner and will be buying a PS3 and Gamecube (and Xbox) before I get another Wii.

you really need to go out more if you believe this mario is a household name my sister even knows zelda and shes 15 and into shopping your really misinformed

I hope those morons stay on the Wii. The last thing PS3 needs is consumers with low IQs bringing down the quality of games.Parasomniac

the irony is killing me!!! :lol:

Ignorant comment of the day. Akin to: "Oh Gosh we can't let new people into our exclusive club! We could want to spend the time to teach them about the best games we have!"

Instead of crying about Nintendo trying to expand it's audience, why don't you let everyone enjoy what they like.

[QUOTE="Mario1331"]

[QUOTE="Indie_Hitman"] So you honestly think all these sheep -old people, socialites and whatnot, you really think theyre gonna have paid attention and know what these franchises are? They will undoubtedly have bought it for wii play/ fit. Maybe its only a minority that dont know, but people have bought the wii just for that.Indie_Hitman

and you base your argument on.... anecdotal evidence? wow... thats like the most reliable evidence out there...

My cousin got a Wii for her son a couple years ago, she didn't even know it was made by Nintendo until I told her.

Most of my family don't know that either, its just the little white box that play Wii Sports.

Your family =/= everyone. And even if there are those people who didn't know Mario before getting a Wii, I'm sure they will afterwards. Mario is impossible to miss once you have met Nintendo.

Next on Sony's List,

Your assumption =/= fact. You assume that most Wii consumers are only buying for Wii Fit/Sports, but unless you have made a poll that says just that, or can find one online, I don't really believe it.

[QUOTE="Indie_Hitman"][QUOTE="surrealnumber5"] in a study done between 1990-2003 it was found that mario was more recognizable the mickey feel free to google itsurrealnumber5

So let me get this straight, a wii owner is going to spend 300 dollars for a new console, 100 for the starter pack, whatever it costs for another Move Controller, just to get games in HD? If they wanted HD, they would have bought a PS3 or a 360 instead of a wii. I think its very clear the wii gamer dosent care about graphics.

[QUOTE="surrealnumber5"][QUOTE="Indie_Hitman"] The SURVEY showed that Mario was MORE recognisable than Mickey mouse to AMERICAN CHILDREN. Note the key words that I have capitilised.Indie_Hitman

Naw, im good. PS3 wont have Mario, Zelda, Metroid and other innovative titles like Boom Blox. Yall have fun playing your 2574th FPS on Move.
