Watched most of live stream. Pretty unimpressive showing (in my opinion). The tech looks fine but the games/demos that they showed were pretty uninspired. Hopefully, 3rd party support will make up for it.
i dunno guys, but I was convinced after the conference. Sure it is similar to the Wii but not annoyingly similar. Except for the sports montages.
Summary:
- A couple of family mini games
- A tweaked level of LittleBigPlanet
- SOCOM 4 controls similar to Metroid Prime 3/RE 4 Wii Edition
- A non- 1:1 based motion control fighting game
- A dull motion control brand name. Even SixAxis was a cooler name.
- Colorful dildo-like motion controllers with a nunchuck attachment
Sorry, I'm not impressed.

im so tired of every one going they are copying so what
what else can they do no control idea taken and the other idea taken why can't they do there own take on the wii mote where we might actually get games for people like me like socom and hopefully some more ( hopefully they do it more with hardcore games and not to much of that crappy motion party thingy they have)

I wish someone would have told Jack Tretton to comb his hair. It's all sticking up in the back, and it's bugging the hell out of me.
@DeltaBurnt Ya they just randomly threw it in there for not reason, except the technology requires it.
How the hell would it work through Blutooth? Blutooth as you appearly are not away only transmit data it doesn't detect motion at all. Which is why you need a visual medium (Eyetoy), that's also why it has a ball at the end. Many movie capturing technology uses the same technique, you'll see little balls all over a suit for instance.
@xaq404 Technically Eyetoy came out for PS2 first and used motion capturing aka MOTION CONTROL before Wii, and originality is over rated anyway. Anyone inventing anything is going to get this slapped in their face, came up with a new story? IT'S ON PAPER, UNORIGINAL, FAIL! Use digital, NO, THATS BEEN DONE TOO, NOOO!!
Technically the point is this is more HARDCORE, Wii is a little loose, I mean you have to pick up a classic controller to play half the games on it. It's still mostly a gimmick.
Here it is 100% accurate less than a frame off. Able to shoot people with it able to attack with it.
You can naysay all you want but clearly this is going to be in alot of games. Socom 4 is already one.

Not much on the games front. While the mo control stuff was expected, I see few games in that line up that inspire. Guess we'll have to wait for E3 to see what others have.
Overall, a boring press event, but good for Sony because the Arc.

$100 to turn my CrapStation 3 into a Wii? Considering how (un)often i play the Wii that I already have, i think i will be passing this one up.
Why do all of the...
How can I say this?
Why do the balls all have to be such bright colors? I don't want all these bright balls. Can't you just make them black like the rest of the thing? Y'know, normal, black balls.
But if the whole package, EyeToy included, is more than 50 bucks, you can promptly count me out of this equation. I don't have room for all the shit involved with this, nor the space to waggle in.
Well, I tried.

I think the name is smart. However, unless the PS3 plus the Move bundle is, together, as cheap as the Wii, Nintendo really doesn't have anything to worry about.
The gaming hardcore don't care about waggle, and casual fans are going to stick with what's popular. If anything, it may push Nintendo towards releasing a Wii HD sooner rather than later, but that's about it.

Did any of you participate in the focus group where it became clear that gamers want more dildo like objects.
The name is good. It targets the large dummy market by letting them know exactly what they have to do to the new Sony remote control.
@RenegadePanda
The balls being bright and intense is part of the way it's implemented. It's bright and intense so the eye can pick it up and give you 1-1 control. It's a pity they're such intense colours but it looks fun and bright. It'll look cool at night too with friends and stuff.
I'm a bit of a sucker for motion controls, sure I get sick of them fast but sometimes I just want to waggle.

i think the perfect nunchuck design to complement the playstation dong wand would be a spherical shaped controller that fits snuggly into one's palm. maybe even shaped like balls.
WOW ONLY $100!??! Are they kidding? Didn't the ridiculously over-priced PSP-Go teach them anything? Buying this thing is going to be like essentially buying another video game console, since most games already out won't really work with it...way to sell people on the idea, Sony. Hadn't you noticed that the PS3's sales didn't pick up until -after- you dropped it down to the price of your competitor? Could you suck any harder?
I'm just chuckling to myself that the 2 biggest Sony fans to grace the planet aren't anywhere to be seen. Maybe they finally got banned?
I still think the best name for this is the Sony Facepalm. Because that's the reaction everytime I see more on this.
Meh, at least it has plenty of buttons on it. I'm not down with the motion control of any platform, and I am a little surprised that rather than innovate, Sony has elected to copy - at least this way their R/D budget might not wreck their quarterly for a change.
Everybody here has got to realize that this controller isn't for anybody who would ever peruse destructoid, right?
Why on earth did Sony make the nun-chuck side look like that?
The original design was widely criticized for looking like a sex toy, but the nun-chuck design looks more like a sex toy than that even.
I can see it now:
"Hey mommy, did you see my Move controller?"
"Mommy's using it right now. And don't forget to wash it before you start playing, it's dirty."
Designing you input devices with alterior functions is a very fast way to generate a stigma about you devices.

...Move? Wow, okay.
The sub controller looks... Wow, it actually looks really good. And thank God, wireless!

Move is to Arc like Wii is to...?
(hint: Revolution)
Why are codenames always better then the ACTUAL names they end up picking? At this rate, Natal will be "Frantic Arm Waving Recognition Device (tm)"

Microsoft and Sony on the Wii when it was announced: "that's for kids it's not really for our target market.". Microsoft and Sony now: "buy our kid friendly motion stuff, it's better than the Wii we promise, can I has money now?"
Yeah, thatīs totally new.
You know what, Iīm really excited about this motion control device! :-)
Oh wait... that was in 2006...

its a nice peripheral but im not really that interested in shelling out 100 bucks for it, it looks about as annoying to setup as a wii in a cluttered room...
"Sony is targeting a price point of under $100 for the camera, controller, and game bundle"
That's a bit worrying. Is the 'controller' just the move, or the move and 'sub-controller'? They also showed games using two move controllers, how much is that going to set you back?
By comparison, natal at a rumoured $50 price point, with two player support built in, could seem like a bargain, especially if Sony can't make the move seem like more than just a wiimote clone.
