haha i'm really digging the new Sony campaign with Butler, it's great haha

I don't see why some are putting down the move, i think it's a unique concept for the PS3. Despite the heavy influence from Wii, i believe Sony has done a great job with the technology, by making it more accurate, one to one, and i feel that they'll soon make this feel like their own also. With the advantages in the Sony hardware the possibilities are endless. Look, I'm not the biggest motion tech guy when it comes to gaming, but the future is inevitable, and i think it seems pretty cool and i think it has a lot of possibilites. I for one would give it a shot.

The red balls are a refernce to when Natal was announced and they had some chick hitting abd kicking balls around. Its odd for Sony to attack or even allude to the competition, but this was very slick and professional, and funny as balls.

The red balls is a reference to one of Microsoft's Natal. The fun part is that the PS2 with the old EyeToy could do exactly what Microsoft demonstrated with Natal and the 'red ball' demo.

Better than that is the simple fact that sony published an Eyetoy game that was basically a fitness program using the camera for motion control.

All this BS from Microsoft and Nintendo is simply BS. Sony's been doing all this stuff since the PS2 and before. But then again so have others.

That said, Microsoft's Natal is particularly cheeky since Sony's Eyetoy could do *at least* 75% of what MS are claiming for Natal. So it's not like there s anything particularly innovative in Natal.

However we should not let reality and fact get in the way of a good E3 presentation.

Indeed Highlander, that's what I've been saying to people, the eyetoy was there way before the wii and the PSMOVE was already in early development then. I think natal is just a fancier version of the eyetoy or it's the PSMOVE without a controller.

Here's the fun thing about Natal. No controller. So, how do you control a shooter with it? make a gun shape with your hand and hope that Natal recognizes it? Use a stick? A stick!? Stick.

Seriously, what are they going to do tell gamers to pick up their ordinary non motion control 360 controller for fire and directional buttons in which case how does the gesture control work? As Sony found with the EyeToy and PS Eye, using just a camera is fine for some kinds of activity game where broad motions are used, or for a game like the EyePet where a specific area of focus is covered and particular interactions are handled. However, for general control you need something more - hence the controllers and tracking glow-ball.

MS somehow became entranced with Milo, which is hilarious to me since it has approximately zero resonance with gamers. The funniest aspect of this will be when Natal launches and MS makes a great hoopla about the gamer being the controller and how they are unique....then Sony points to the EyeToy, and the PSEye and EyePet. EyePet does damn near everything claimed for Natal - oh and by the way, except for SCEAs decision to wait, it's already available in other markets. IMHO SCEA has it on hold as the perfect counter to the Natal crapolla. Really and truly I don't see how Natal will be all that its hyped to be, it's not a matter of not understanding the technology, I do, I just don't see it as a mainstream gaming interface.

The launch of Natal is going to be a perfect real life illustration of the story about the Emperor's New Clothes. The thing is, we've already seen the preview of the new wardrobe, and it's empty, nothing new to see. How many journalists and commentators will have the courage to stand up and say this?

As for the Wii, the Wiimote and the 'plus' add on is not as functional as the PS Move controller, and the sixaxis already replicated the majority of the Wii mote functionality. Let's not forget that the Eye and Eyetoy already did much of what the Wiimote was deigned to do. Sorry Nintendo. Wii is a great product. It expanded a market that wasn't there before. But please, let's be honest, it doesn't do anything unique. It (the Wii) is cheap, and works with standard TVs, but you know what, that's fast become the bedrooom gamer market - in other words kids. As HDTVs have plummeted in price and the PS3 has been given a reasonable price, the cost of real, honest to goodness, HD gaming and movies has come within the reach of the majority of consumers. Wii isn't in that market at all, no matter how hard you hype the balance board or Wiimote Plus.

Hysterical. Oh man this guy is great. And his bit is SPOT ON. Who actually wants to hold their hands in "gun shape" like they're six?! What's wrong with holding controllers?! Who knows if Move will be great, lame or somewhere in between, but the ads are a good start. VERY good move by Sony to start defining the terms of the conversation this far out. Good PR ;)

The commercial was hilarious, and very pointed. Truth be told, most of what Natal and Wii can do was being done by Sony with the Eyetoy on the PS2. But, let's not let facts become a factor in the discussion... ;)

i really hope developers catch onto this quickly and start implementing it in all their games very soon, but please make it a choice.
terminator salvation on the iphone is a perfect example of how easier aiming move could make shooters.
the analogue sticks are so freaking twitchy it drives me insane!
its impossible to keep the reticule moving at a steady pace to pop off moving targets.
move would make aiming so much easier.

The motion tracking requires the eye. The glow-ball on top of the controller is tracked and along with the information from the gyros and accelerometers in the controllers themselves the system allows the PS3 to track the movement of the controller in a 3D space as well as the angle of the controller and so on and so forth. But the Eye is required. I believe that the PSMove package includes the Eye, but the controller elements will also be sold separately since many already have the Eye.

It will be interesting to see how many Wii owners this brings over. I don't think most of them care (I don't think most of them even use their Wii on any sort of regular basis), but there is a vocal minority who are always complaining about the lack of any mature games for that system. Of course when more mature games come out for it, absolutely no one buys them, so who knows. Maybe it's ten guys who just post on the internet a lot.

Great ad.

Very subtle yet pursuasive bashing of the competition. Keep it classy Sony, and if you can keep this up and advertise to the casual audience watching sitcoms or dramas, you may have a winning formula. All you gotta do is get the word out.

A celebrity helps. Olivia Newton John did DS Brain Training and Wii Fit ads here in Australia, and I was dealing with hundreds of 30-60 year olds coming into the store asking for whatever she was playing.

Perhaps Sony could use Hugh Jackman to demonstrate Move, since he is a famous loveable actor amomgst many. His love of PS Move could shift millions. Imagine it, "Hi there, I'd like to buy the thing Hugh Jackman was playing on the TV. I think it's called "Move". Nice easy name to remember. So I can play games on this Playstation machine thingy, what else can it do? Can I watch my dvd's on it? Cos I can't with my Wii."

... and the floodgates open.

Don't let Xbots get people down on this thing. Sony clearly know what they're doing.

If MS knew what they were doing, they'd have a lot of 1st party studios working for them, working on an incredibly advanced yet cheap machine with little problems, and working on improving their image rather than buying out or stealing old tech ideas and marketing it as if its the 2nd coming of Jesus...

Don Reisinger reminds everyone why we think he's a Microsoft Shill...

Please note this article is dated March 16, 2010 and yet still posts a link to PS3 that claims a $499.99 price tag. Considering the content of the article along with that, thre is no other conclusion than Don Reisinger is a biased fanboy posing as a writer. The comments on the article are hilariously uninformed as well. I am continually amazed at the sheer ignorance shown by 'mainstream' media outlets like cNet.

I rarely to never read Cnet for this very reason. Don is a tool. Should he ever lose his job at Cnet he would fit right in at Destructoid.

What i also find funny, is that Greentoad is claiming Blue Ray is holding the PS3 back, yet 2009 and likely going forward, its proven to be the key to the PS3s long term success. PS3 exclusives are bigger and better and only keep getting bigger and better.

Now at least we know were all the Xbots get their ridiculous arguments about how "Blue Ray doesn't matter, FFXIII would have been better if designed on DVDs" etc.

Highlander, I read the article, what was it that Dan wrote that you found objectionable? I get the link at the bottom for $499. That was silly, and might not of been his fault, but the article seemed non biased to me. Past articles I have read of his have been leaning towards the XBOX, not I don't see this article being one of those.

Jawknee, "Greentoad" should not have said it is "holding" the PS3 back. He should have said it WAS holding the PS3 back, because early on, the Blu-Ray was so expensive, and the PS3's price point was so high, that they priced themselves out of the market.

Sony's answer at the time was they were forward thinking and thought in terms of 10 year cycles, so at the time it sounded like giberish defensive speak, but now if this trend continues, they will be shown to be genious.

It disgusts me that he can tout they have a base model for $199. Who wants a console with no harddrive?

I've noticed most mainstream news has no clue what they are talking about when it comes to gaming. They tend to discuss things that haven't been relevant in over a year and even when it's not dated info it's just plain wrong.

My cousin calls me the other day and says, I saw on the news that the ps3 isn't selling well because they haven't had any big games come out this year.

I about died laughing. News people are ridiculous.

Too bad mainstream gamers who have never heard of Natal won't get the Natal joke if this is played on TV.

Other than that though, its a great ad. I'm glad Sony finally got their crap together in the advertising department.

Oh, I think an edited version of this may air when MS drops Natal on the market. By then every Tom, Dick and Harry will have been told by MS that Natal (or whatever they actually call it) is the most advanced gaming control system ever, unique and exclusive to 360.

Right about then Kevin Butler shows up and skewers them.

What if...Sony pulled an Apple and went after the 360 with a new ad campaign along side the hilarious Kevin Butler ones?

Here's what I am thinking. Remember the Apple commercials of Mac and PC discussing the various advantages of a Mac, and disadvantages of a PC? They were hilarious and very, very effective.

What we need, I think, is a campaign that features a Ninja, dressed in black, with an appropriately distinguished Japanese accent and a loud mouthed gamer from the southern US - you know, one of those really spotty, hardcore shooter nuts who cant see past his kill death ratio or his XBL account.

Commercial Opens;

::PS3 and 360 are standing side by side patiently. PS3 is limbering up, 360 is pretending to shoot something.::

::They look up as if noticing the camera for the first time.::

PS3: Ah, hello, I am PlayStation 3, you may call me PS3.

360: Hi, I'm an Xbox 360, but you can call me 360.

PS3: It is good to meet you, 360. Erm...what is that red light I see on your front?

360: Oh, don't pay no attention to tha.....

::Medics in white coats rush in with a utility cart and wheel out 360, while another team wheels in another 360.::

::PS3 looks on with concern.::

360: Hi I'm 360, sorry about that, my predecessor was a little too hot under the collar.

PS3: Very well. PlayStation 3 has BluRay, what do you have my Friend?

::360 makes a loud hacking noise clearing his throat before answering.::

360: Well, I got DVD, and it's real fast. Wanna see?

PS3: No, no. That is OK. I also have wireles Ethernet, do you?

360: Great question lil' buddy. I got this wire hangin' out of me, and if I'm rea....

PS3: 360? 360? You have that red light thing again. Are you OK?

::Medics quickly swap in another 360 who looks a little bewildered::

360: Sure is hot in here, could someone turn on the air? Please?

PS3: Yes. Please! Someone turn on the air coditioning, my t-shirt wearing friend here is finding it a little warm.

::360 hacks loudly again::

360: Oh no! Not again!

PS3: My friend? 360? What is it? Are you OK?

360: 74. 74. 74. 74.
::red light flashes on the front of 360's shirt::

PS3: Oh dear, it happened again!

::Fade to black. PS3 logo, Voice over "PlayStation". Fade in "It only does everything."::
