Was it really necessary? - Page 2

I just hope they realize move is fail very soon so they drop support for it. I really like alot of games on the system but I already have played the wii.......why do I need PSWii1.5?

I think it was necessary in order to differentiate it from the Wii-mote. Otherwise, what would be the difference? They had to come up with some gimmick to make it seem a bit different.

PS Eye doesn't detect infrared. It tracks visible light, the balls allow it to track depth.

...but

I feel they went about this implementation incorrectly.

it's the same thing Chibi had to tell this Sony fan boy, who started posting all over his facebook that the wii was in danger

the problem is, they're only coping the Wii, which has been for years and is still cheaper, and the games are the same as Wii play and other wii blank titles, they're not even finding cool ways to bring it into adventure games, not using them in FPS, the only advantage they have is that they can mimic wii sports with better graphics.

Which leads to this problem, if that's what you want to play why would pick up a PS3 over the Wii when the Wii is cheaper and comes with this out of the box, and has a much larger library of such games vs a more expensive console which requires you to buy this as an add on, has about 10 games announced and may not get any support just like the eye toy

his only reply was
"well that was the eye toy and this is now"

It's being used with SOCOM 4.

Well then removed that part of the post as Chibi is to lazy to go back and edit.

And Killzone 3... and the new Time Crisis, which isn't a rail shooter.

And Sorcery, probably the only "Move only" title anyone is interested in....

If anything, I think Sony's showed a lot more "core" games than casual wagglin' at E3... the main problem is, no one cares and most would rather use a controller and be done with it.
