this thing has a lot of potential and can really lower the sales of the wii and bring up the sales of the 360 and ps3. but i have a bad feeling about it.( I hope it does good and finally lowers the wii sales by at least a little... Nintendo sells to much :)

I really hope no one thinks that this will increase the sales of the PS3...because no 'casual' gamer will see that and think that's 280 pounds justified. The same practically goes for the 360.

If this was the 360's answer to motion control that they were talking about, I expected MUCH more.

And I love how this turned into flame bait for the Wii, you lot make me laugh.

The same people that called it a gimmick and said they preferred button smashing and HD graphics to motion sensing and FUN are going to rush in and buy this thing

The human race is so weird

Has anyone thought about the impact this peripheral on the X360 and PS3 will have on the Wii from a third-party title perspective? Currently, one big complaint is that the Wii doesn't really support third-party games very well (read: ports suck).

With this, unless PDP has insane licensing restrictions (or it's a total piece of crap), it will create an incentive for third parties to create better games for the Wii. This is because with the controls being so similar on the all major platforms now, creating an extremely similarly-controlled port of a game will be less cost-prohibitive.

Someone already wrote that they want ported to X360 or PS3. Certainly, that would have been across all platforms if this peripheral had already existed.

Golf for starters. EA is supporting the MotionPlus add-on for the wiimote in Tiger Woods 2010 which comes out soon.

I'm betting they'll be happy to implement motion control in the 360 version as well.

Bowling. I loved playing Wii Sports Bowling, at my cousins house...I'm not going to buy a Wii just to play that. I would love a fun, HD version of motion controlled bowling.

How cool would it be if Lucas Arts supported these in a Star Wars game? Can you say "dual-wielding"? SImilarly, you could have realistic sword-fighting in other contexts (Samurai, ninja, pirate, etc.)

I am worried about MS's own 3D motion camera, coming next year. Having two competing devices could cause both to fail...
