Subject: Sony's MagicCon finally revealed!
It's easy to believe I'm anti-Sony, when all I seem to do is bash their dumbass ideas and their lame-duck console.  I'm really not, despite their inability to get their act together and release compelling products like they once did.  If they get sorted and release something I want to buy, I'll happily babble about their awesomeness.

Sony keeps trying to entice, but all I can see is how they're following the crowd, yet again.

The demos included archery, boxing, and golf, all of which are things we've seen on the Wii,

Quote by Gamasutra Commenter:
"We always wanted to provide something for everyone. That's why it's a very key target for the system development for PlayStation Move; we wanted to capture both core gamers and casual gamers," said Yoshida

^^^^ That wasn't what Sony was saying to the masses back in 2006. :)

No kidding.  It's quite a turnaround from Sony's past we're so hardcore stance.

Take a Wii controller, add a little Sony style, and this is what you get.

Kotaku have done a gigantic wank over one of the things for it, I think it's called Move Party, which provides some nice tactile feedback but, other than that, it seems as you say; an about-face of marketing policy and some blatant me-tooism that's about two years too late. I seriously doubt the people who've bought a Wii as their first family console or first in years are interested in augmenting their under-telly space with a competing product.
