Move is much more marketable than Arc or Gem. I's better assosiated with the product... as in moving about, so advertising won't have to explain anything there. The Wii's also done the job of getting the motion stuff out there, so people will almost be familiar with Move straight away with it's look and what it does.

Exactly my point. It's been done to death. It's not original.
This - I cannot believe I forgot to mention this. The reason why Wii games are able to overcome the system's weaknesses is using an effective art style. This is something SCE seems to have completely missed (especially with that game show thing - dear gawd that's ugly) and as a result, the games seem to lack a much needed 'charm factor'.Baki said:

I LOVE the PS3, but has there been a more shameless rip off/imitation in the history of video games?
Anyway, the bulb thing just looks fragile. Was that really the best option?

Right, since my last post was buried under the avalanche of crap in that other thread, here I go again!
We have battery life stats!

10 hours seems low, especially since you can't replace the batteries on a whim like with the Wiimote...

I must ask again. Can anyone confirm if the Sub-controller has motion sensing ability at all? I see conflicting reports online.

The nunchuck attachment makes Dante's Inferno look like an exercise in originality.

I think they included X and O on subcontroller cause it's a "Enter/Exit" button for menus and a way of making it useful for navigation.

Ok, i need to say something about this bs right here. Wii is still a joke of a name, i mean cmon, Wii? Really?
But Wii was "laughed at" because it's such an odd name, it sounds like some japanese game show where the winning phrase is "Wiiiiiii" and guess what, Nintendo did win that shit.
Move isn't a joke of a name, although the Home joke there by NullPointer was pretty funny, it's not a joke. Move is just bland.
It's like say, you have Google right and then MS came with that piece of shit name Bing and it was just a bad name, everybody said that Google was also an odd name but they are different in that Google is a funny weird name while Bing is a bland piece of shit.
Sorry man, but no. And i hate the Wii name.

I seriously must be the only one on this Earth that sees why they put X and O on both of them.
Just look at the thumbs on the pictures. It is so you can easily tap X,O,[], or ^ without having to move your thumb off the squiggly button/analog stick. Pretty genius to me. Unlike, say the Wii remote where you have to move your thumb off of the D-pad during play to hit + or _ or 1 and 2, it makes it easier for the person to be in contact with all buttons at the same time.
I may be the only person that sees this, though.
Sorry for the bump, but I couldn't find anywhere else to put this.
Richard Marks is about to present a keynote at the 2010 Games for Health Conference in Boston.
Considering how much headway Wii has made in the games for health/serious games area, I'm really excited to see Sony involved at an early stage (with Move) in this field. I'll update if I hear any pertinent info come out.

I remember reading somewhere that the bulb at the end isn't hard, it's kind of malleable and squeezable/squidgy.

You can't really beat that. Each frame at 60 fps is 16.7 milliseconds (33.3ms at 30fps).RavenFox said:

I saw some twitter comments and such from attendees who were AMAZE etc.
I think someone posted a vid in the other more recent thread that might have been from that event or a related one. Vid is posted here:

Looks like it was from the games for health conference.

With Google and Bing, it just sounds like you're grasping at straws. They are both weird-sounding names, and neither is more bland than the other. The only difference is that Google is more successful, so you can make up theories about the name to justify it.
I'll agree on Wii versus Move, though. Move sounds like a marketing team picked it, while Wii sounds like the children of a marketing team picked it.

Looks like we may have just found a hint of how Sony will market the Move controller, somatic gratification.

Games for Health Day 2 Highlights:
The opening festivities continued with Richard Marks, senior researcher at Sony who discussed balance in the context of the EyeToy, its history, and the evolution of their new Move controller. How do you balance the physical with the mental, interactivity with passivity, imagination with action, being social with being alone, and finally, delight with purpose? Marks talked about "somatic gratification" in interfaces and the ultimate balance of encumbrance versus empowerment. He showed compelling videos of simple virtual manipulations of glasses of water and slinky fabric and my hair stood up because I felt the sensation of what was shown without doing it myself. I experienced somatic gratification by proxy -- something I haven't felt since I was doing networked VR experiments many years ago. I know that everyone in the audience felt it too. Finally, I feel a little less alone in the world
As Marks continued to demonstrate the Move controller, the audience was further impressed and delighted. I found myself smiling deeply because this technology and modality is finally out of research labs and in the consumer living room. And for cheap. And perhaps, may I dare say it is also somewhat robust and ready for content? It has been a long time since my research partner and I painted ping pong balls in different colors and wore silly hats to perform endless motion tracking calibration sessions. We were being geeky grad students but Sony is [ FINALLY ] making it cool and affordable, and that is revolutionary. Microsoft Project Natal is trying to achieve a similar goal. Pair that with a stereo 3DTV and call it real VR and now all of a sudden you have a powerful telehealth platfform that is deployable in the home.

Actually, someone's uploaded his keynote to Youtube.
Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/user/ExergameLab#p/u/3/OkTnZluYo1E
The water and cloth demos were the stuff they were doing around about E3 05, when they showed the duck demo. They had a version where it wasn't in the bathroom, but where it was a video feed of yourself with the cups, but the virtual water composited in.
Shows other neat little insights. They had a demo with eyetoy that never got finished that they show, but it looked cool: render a fake shadow into the scene, so that the fake shadow could play around and do stuff different to you.
Also show some of the evolution of Move...they at one point had a protoptype that was a DS3 turned on its side with the prongs hacked off and the ball on top Talks about how a certain level of 'encumberment' (in terms of holding a controller) can actually be a good thing etc. etc.

:lol As I was watching the beginning footage of table tennis, I thought, that's some awful waggle there. I can't believe she's scoring points off that. Then they started showing her on-screen actions and all I could do is :lol . Good god, woman. If you're weakly hitting the ball straight into the air and missing the table entirely, don't you think it's time to try a new technique?

Where in the world is that filmed? There's a sign on the wall that reads "This Place is Good", a tower speaker sitting on top of (presumably) a subwoofer or something, and a TV hastily hung-wires exposed-on what looks to be a home made entertainment center fashioned out of white paneling.
