The PS-Wii

Ok first of all I've been very busy lately, I will be posting up previews and reviews on a LOT of shit. But at the moment I'm brain storming for another script. So everything is up in the air at the moment.

Anyway...

Introducing the PS-Wii. In spring 2010 you can now play annoying motion sensitive games in FULL HD. Not only that but you can use the PS-Wii-mote's flashy lightbulb thingy for absolutely no purpose at all! Yes, and not only that but these games will work only exclusively with this, and all for a price of £49.99 + per game! The PS-Wii-mote will cost you an additional cost!

Yeah so you can guess that I'm skeptical about Sony's Wiimote. I'm not against anyone using motion sensitive equipment in their consoles. But Sony really have to think about this. First of all this just seems like a REALLY, REALLY cheap move. It looks almost exactly like the Wiimote EXCEPT from the ugly light bulb that sprouts out from the top, which changes colour indicating crap, but to be honest the Wiimote just works better, it looks better, and with the motion+ it works just the same.
There isn't anything extra that the Wii can provide, and do better.
Yes the Wii is made up of 90% absolute crap and there are very few games that truly shine, but having crappy Wii style games on a PS3 just doesn't feel right for the image of the console.

On the plus side it may mean that we get HD ports of classic Wii titles, but in a huge way I hope most Wii titles remain Wii titles. I'd hate for Shattered Memories to come onto PS3, as well as House of The Dead: Overkill. Although if the PS3-Wii-mote becomes successful I hope that sequels to Wii titles will come over to PS3, although as someone who believes that motion controls should be left to the Wii, I can't help but accept the inevitable.
