Please tell me how HD Rumble is going to revolutionize anything?

"When Sony debuted a prototype of Move at last year's E3, many gamers dismissed it as an attempt to cash in on Nintendo's success in motion-based gaming. However, the developement of Move goes back much further than people realize. Sony began experimenting with tracking colored spheres as early as 2001, before the release of the original Eye Toy for the PS2. The earliest prototype was simply a ball on a stick, but Sony couldn't solve other color recognition problems created by inconsistent lighting. Around 2004/2005 the company began experimenting with glowing spheres, but were limited to one color - if a player's lights or walls used a similar shade, the camera still couldn't detect it. Three years ago, the LEDs used in Move became cheaper, allowing for a device that can change colors on the fly and accomodate all different lighting situations. Although Move features many similar abilities to the Wii remote, many of the parts - such as a six-axis sensors and rumble components - were taken directly from the DualShock" (Game Informer, Issue 209 Page 69).

So you should not forget to do some research before you start throwing inccorect accusations.

PS Move sold over 20 million units. That isn't unsuccessful by any stretch of the imagination. In fact when Move and Kinect released in late 2010, Wii sales dramatically declined in 2011 going forward. That's what I'd call a success, as both devices contributed to popping Wii's bubble, except Move is more relevant these days thanks to its tech being built into the DualShock 4 and being incorporated into PSVR.

Also, "whatcNintendo started?" Sony had already been developing what would end up the as the Eyetoy and subsequently Move since 1999 when it was conceived by Richard Marks, 2 whole years before Wii was conceived.

What did Wii revolutionize really? We already experienced motion sensing on consoles the generation prior via the Eyetoy. Not to mention that both the PS3 and 360 contributed more to many of the aspects of in modern gaming that we take for granted today. The Wii's only biggest lasting impact was Virtual Console.

Anywho my point being is that the majority of gamers still primarily use conventional controls, which is reflected by the majority of games still utilizing conventional controls.

as per Ultra Nova

@Fleece,

So because i work for a gaming site, and submit only a portion of the articles, you 1000% know which way i'll lean?

Well if that shows credibilty, i guess you have non as you ahvent submitted a single thing on this site.
and yes, i do support Sony as they are my prefered console, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying other console's games, or criticizing Issues i have with Sony or any company. As for your pointless remark about achievements and avatars, as far as i know, those were MS that started those, and the others to follow.

the motion controllers were one of the reasons Sony began working on VR. they took their their HMZ-T3W Head Mounted 3D Viewer and litterly duct taped the motion controls to the sides of it. thast how their first prototype for head tracking was created, more than 10 years ago, (before oculus i might add)

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
