PlayStation Move-ing Off Store Shelves
Color me shocked. Destructoid reports that the PlayStation Move has sold 1.5 million units in Europe. That's in addition to the sales in America, where all three Move products (including the Sport Champions bundle) placed in the NPD top ten for accessories. I've been talking with game store managers in my area and they've all been surprised with the Move's success. An allocation of 20 units took about a day and a half to sell out according to my markedly unscientific data. This coupled with the pre orders for Kinect seems to be showing a general interest in the new wave of motion control.
TGS 2010: Michael Jackson: The Experience
Break.com has the newest trailer of Michael Jackson: The Experience, and I've come to the conclusion that the next big thing in gaming is going to be dancing. Out of the sheer number of dance games on the way, Michael Jackson: The Experience looks like it might be the top of the heap. I mean, learning to dance is one thing, but learning to dance like MJ is a whole new animal. No word on whether the game requires a single white glove to play. Micheal Jackson: The Experience comes out on November 23rd for Wii; the Kinect and Move versions come out early next year.
Sports Champions Review: A Playstation Move Version Of Wii Sports. A Good One.
When Sony announced the Playstation Move
There are six sports games in the collection, and they range from the patently obvious (ping-pong and swordfighting) to the downright weird (frisbee golf and bocce). While the modes vary in just how realistic, enjoyable, and addictive they are, they're all fairly entertaining. There aren't any filler or copycat games, like in Sports Resort; each game is unique enough to differ from the others.
The Future of Motion Control: How To Improve It
This short video on Sony's blog demonstrates where the PlayStation Move is at in terms of development. Now that the Wii is about to turn four, Sony and Microsoft are both poised to make wigglin' and wagglin' major features of their consoles as well. The Wii's motion controls have failed to deliver on the promise of a total game-changing console. Despite this, the Wii has some real gems but games which actually utilize the motion controls well are few and far between. Today, most gamers still use thumbsticks, shoulder triggers, and face buttons for a majority of their games. Here are a few ways motion controls could finally make games better.
