Playstation 3 Move Bundle against the Wii

Playstation 3 Move Bundle against the Wii

Early on in 2009 Sony let the world know that their new launch "The Move" was on its way . It took Sony a further 14 months to finally release it to the public. The Move is basically a movement detector using two items of hardware . One bit of kit is the Ball motion controller and the other is a camera. It is time for Sony to try and take back some of its lost sales from the Wii. Infamously the Wii got parents gaming to the shock to most children. Because Sony launched the actual "Eye" camera back in 2003 they claim that the "Moves" launch is nothing to do with the Wii but more of an extention of what they were planning anyway. Whatever happens it will sure be exciting to see who will win this war.

So, lets look at what makes them different.

There are some pretty large differences in technology the way the Playstation and the Wii handle the task of movement control. As we all know the Wii uses accelerometers in the handset which allows the Wii to know the orientation of the controller and uses this in conjunction with the sensor strip to test position. Thw Wii has trouble with the length of the movement stroke completed which means players can just "wrist flick" instead of playing a full stroke on most games. With the Playstation the setup is a little different where the ping pong controller ball is detected by the camera and it tracks where it was in relation to where it is now. This means your moves in the 3d space in front of the unit is a lot more precise.

The Playstation Move is bundled with "Sports Champions" which is Sonys answer to the Wii's "Wii Sports" (again Sony say it is just a coincidence and nothing to do with the Wii, yeah riiight). With 6 seperate games to play in the package the "Sports Champion" game really shows what the "Move" can do. Calibration of the controller must be done before each game but it only takes seconds.

All in all I found the preciseness of the controller gives the PS3 Move a huge advantage over the Wii and I for one cannot wait for the big game producers to make some great movement games.
