So at E3 this year, nintendo introduced the wii motionpus add on. I was just wondering if anyone else is as pissed off about this as me. So year(s) after the wii launches they decide to SELL me a peripheral that will supposedly make my wiimote do what they told me it was supposed to do in the first place...
Doesn't anyone remember the "redsteel sword moves exactly like you do" talk, the multiple videos of people playing wii using the controller and having the characters mimick them precisely, etc. etc.
And one other thing, why is microsoft adding netflix to xbox a big deal? First of all, you have to pay for Live, and internet connection and a netflix account. Ok fine, but if you had a netflix account, chances are you already own a pc, so why bother? Sony introduces movie rentals, and it WORKS. I don't have to subscribe to any more service, I pay as I go with real money, not points that I'll never be able to fully spend, and I don't have to pay for PSN to look for movies to watch. So microsoft doesn't have an advantage in my opinion, psn now has trophy/achievments, movie store, home/avatars way before microsoft announced them, an ALREADY user friendly interface/storefront, microsoft touts its games advantage but sans halo - mass effect is on pc, bioshock is coming to ps3, gears of war is pc, every game they showed at e3 besides fable/gears of war 2 is multiplat (and knowing gow, it will be on pc in the months to follow)....
Don't misunderstand, Sony has huge flaws, there is a lack of great titles, the price point on the console is high (but getting better, and for a blu player, its actually a best buy), their marketing sucks, they do have some nice exclusives uncharted, heavenly sowrd, mgs, killzone, lbp, gow etc, but it is all on the horizone (except mgs)... The loss of final fantasy exclusivity does blow for sony fans, but seriosly we STILL get the game. The psn games store is lacking a little, but some titles like the last guy, fat princess, ragdoll kung fu etc should pep it up. All I know is ps3 doesn't redring, my "live" doesn't cost me anything and is loads of functional and fun, I just wish they would stop promising these big titles and start shipping them to stores!
TL;DR all systems suck, some less than others - I like my ps3
