Sony: "Hardcore gamers have looked down their nose at motion gaming."

I'm already sick of talking about the Playstation move, but news is slow and I must resort to this. Sony did an interview with the finiancial times basically stating how much better the move is than the Wii and how they have stuff in the works for hardcore gamers.

"The Wii has been wildly successful but at the end of the day it’s not a very precise experience and it relies on the wand," says Dille, aiming the bullsh*t cannon and firing with abandon."Microsoft’s approach appears to be no wand, no controller, just a camera, which means that your body’s the user interface. Our solution and point of differentiation is around precision, because we’ve got the camera -- the Playstation Eye -- and the motion controller which has the light at the tip, and the camera tracks the light very precisely in 3D space.

"Hardcore gamers have looked down their nose at motion gaming: it’s not particularly satisfying for them because it’s not terribly precise or challenging, it’s more social. So we’ll have games that the whole family can play that are very social, but we’ll also be able to do hardcore gamer games via a motion device that has never been done before. It’s too early to say what the killer app or signature game is but we’ll continue through the spring and late summer before we make a decision on which game is the poster child or the best one to move the Move."

Regardless of how I feel about the move, its straight up bullshit for Sony to talk shit about the Wii as they are about to try and cash in on what made Nintendo's system so popular. Its embarrassing watching Sony and Microsoft playing catch up with Nintendo like this. Why don't they just start developing something better for their next systems instead of tacking on motion bullshit half way through their consoles lifespan.
