Why Sony is giving up on Move when Microsoft is still eagerly pushing Kinect?

That's something that has kinda disappointed me, after I spent so much 2 get those 2 Wands ,a Nav controller and Gun Attachment ( I'M sure millions other like me feel the same).

I mean on relesease was not every other review praising both Move and Kinect and saying both are worthwhile devices? Both platforms saw equally matched releases (like Sports Champions and Kinect Sports, EyePet move and Kinectimals).And even today there's no significant difference killer-app wise among the two.

Some say that Kinect is a bit more innovative and there may be a bit more functionality that the Kinect can end up offering ,but thats debatable at best.

But failure or no failure at least MS is not giving up on Kinect...whereas Sony's disinterest on Move is getting all too apparent.Not nice!

I'm glad Sony gave up on the Move f*ck motion controls.

Come on, KillZone 3 didn't fell all that bad with it.Sports Champions was enjoyable and it's a shame Sega didn't do enough with Virtua Tennis 4...I mean there was so much potential in that Arcade mode.

cause they realized the piece of garbage motion controllers are ?

they are a bunch of on rails crap

well i am going to tell it like it is , move is actually inferier to wiimotion /plus why you ask well lets start off with 1 you need lighting for cameras to work ,

2ndly the games that represent move are mostly direct ripoffs or ports of wii games already available as a consumer why would any one pay some 300 extra bucks for a move ps3 plus move game and extension

using our brains here its cheaper and better to go with wii because for motion its the most precise and can be used any where in the home at any time

dark or light , and really doesnt require much

theres down sides to both move and kenict that make wii the better option for motion controls , the games library also is nothing to laugh at , plus wii can use up to 4 motion controllers , ps3 can only use 2 when using extensions

Thank God the Move didn't sell. I don't want Sony to be chasing the Wii pot of gold like M$ is currently doing. senses_fail_06

is not about the chase is about abandoning one market to go with the other.

Now I am not a Nintendo-hater but isn't Nintendo also trying to emulate the PS3/X360's graphical prowess with the WiiU? I am not saying it is only concentrating on graphics but Nintendo is caring enough this time around for graphics.

Picking up and applying successful trends can help companies to gain larger customer base and also increase competition to push up the quality...that can't be a bad thing.

Move was just a cheap wii knock off. Why would a casual consumer buy Move & a PS3 when they could get a Wii with move built in for like $150. Kinect was a compeltely diffferent mechanic so it still sold well.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="GamingVengeance"] It didn't really bomb tho, it sold something like 10 millions units, and that was a while ago when I read that Obviously kinect sold much more tho, an as It should since it had much more advertising, and was a more unique product that gathered a lot more interest because of thatGamingVengeance

Yeah that seems odd....why will Sony count each move unit as a sale? Say a guy gets himself a Nav Contrlr few months after he bought the Move starter pack..now Sony would be fools to mark that one-off sale as a "Move" sale and would be at total loss in gauging the sales dynamics. Marking a starter pack sold as a move sold makes more sense.

It's like Newegg claiming to have sold a PC when all it sells is a CPU or a mobo.

Horrible miscalculation if Sony ever did that.

No offense to your opinion but Dead Space Extraction certainaly did not feel like a it's running on "cheap knock-off" stuff IMO when I played it on the PS3.....that too after playing it on Wii at a gaming parlour. I just played DS:E on Wii at a game parlour just to carry out my own comparison of how that game felt on both platforms. And IMO the PS3 version was far superior contrlowise. Now that's not to say the Wii version was mediocre or something (deliberately not considering graphical differences), just the controls were far more accurate in PS3.

Implying that success started with the Wii of course...

The Move is great with Killzone 3, especially with the sharpshooter and Sports Champions is great. I wish there was more support but I'm not complaining.

Sony never gives up, they have a spine unlike some companies.

Move is a hit success, that's why you don't see Sony scrambling to plaster it all over everything. Its just another grand piece of world renowned technology to go along with their other bleeding edge, top of the line products.

Kinecton the other hand, is a hunk of outdated western tech and Microsoft is basically begging people to use it.

Of course that is what you get when you own a happy meal console. A useless cheap toy on the side. :roll:

Because unlike Sony who literally copied the WiiMote, Microsoft actually tried something a little different and its actually taken off. Its Sonys fault for being so boringly predictive.

I hear their new controller has been leaked

:lol:

It;s just that the Kinect was more innovative, plus the general public think "wow, no hands", as opposed to "I already have a Wii".

why am i surprised there are alot of miss informed info being spread out in this thread? (you need good lighting for Move?....lol haha)

there are still Move games releasing till this day.....heck Fifa 13 uses move...more helpful than Kinect version that mainly just uses Voice commands.

here is all the Move games that released THIS year or will release later this year...as well as next year.....there are still other Move games missing from here like I said Fifa 13.

The floppage of Move is good news. I don't want PlayStation to chase Nintendo's pot of golds like what MS is doing.

That was a complete scrub move by Sony having all those people buy a product just to forget about it months later. Anyone that believed all the promotions from Sony and purchased Move were screwed over by Sony. Sony pretty much said hey thanks for you money and they just laughed as they walked away.

I am not a fan of motion constrols but if you sell a product then support it.

Sony was smart to realise people don't want motion gaming.. sadly there are still crappy kinect games coming out which all get low scores, sell poorly and seem to be a complete waste of space. Rattlesnake_8

Because Move sucks.

Sony has always had a large variety of games for everyone.

The difference being that one has never come at the expense of another.

I know I won't be flailing my arms next gen, lemmings can't be so certain :cool:

I'm thinking it has something to do with sales & profits. :P

Move failed to sell.
