What makes the Playstation Move have the potential to be a lot more than a gimmick, is that they are not (they'ren't?) just making it for casuals, they are making it for hardcore gamers and casual gamers alike. Its precision allows you to do things that just wouldn't work well with the Wii, like online gaming or hardcore games like Socom 4, while still being able to have fun with not so serious games. It's taking motion controls to a whole new level.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
that's one thing that the wiimote can be used for shooting games.
but there is other things that can be done with move that can't be done with the wiimote but shooting is not one of them.
I have nothing against the ps3 (Move) i think it's great to have a HD wii. Then again i'm more looking forward to Natal which is light years more Advanced and will revolutionize the way we play games.
Bungie trying to convince itself
I hope you all enjoyed what i wrote and stay tuned for more soon ;)
I'm waiting the Survival Horror exclusive for Move.
Maybe they will show something in E3.
