Yves MakhoulBattle for your motion begins

Here we finally are. The last quarter of the year. The crucial time for Sony and Microsoft to prove the viabilities of their own motion controlled hardware. If you were to believe the PR, you’d think they’re confident in selling millions of the non-compulsory attachable devices to customers who’ve been waiting with bated breath for a new world of gaming.
You couldn’t be blamed, however, for thinking the motion control phase has actually passed. Nintendo’s Wii has seen a dramatic decrease in sales recently, and in the last financial quarter, Nintendo attributed this very fact to the reason their profits decreased.
Does this mean Sony and Microsoft are late to the party? No one can be certain. After all, the Wii has far inferior graphical output technology when compared to the PS3 and Xbox 360. Sony’s Move tech is far superior to Nintendo’s Wii-mote tech and Microsoft’s Kinect doesn’t even have a physical controller.
Maybe, just maybe, both new contenders will be as successful as they predict to be and a new wave of multi-million selling software will be upon us. Or maybe, they'll both just flop.
Time will tell. Sit tight, here we go.
