PlayStation Move Will Turn You Into a Mii Killer
Take no prisoners.
We're just a couple of days away from PlayStation Move launch day (that's this Sunday if you've been snoozing and forgot to mark your calendars), and just in the nick of time, comes this weird and whacky advertisement for Sony's new motion sensing peripheral.
After launching an entire website to make fun of the fact that Microsoft's Kinect has no buttons, Sony is taking aim at its other rival, Nintendo. This commercial isn't quite as clever as yaybuttons.com, but it gets its "Wii sucks, Move rocks" message across quite nicely.
Playstation Move kills Mii
Will you be buying Move on Sunday, or will you remain loyal to your Wii for a little bit longer? Let us know in the comments below!

Cool commercial. Makes it look like an almighty mystical weapon.
But yeah, I think I'll save my money, just not enough games use it.
sony is not catching up. they can try and try, but they will not catch up. if by any chance, they catch up to wii sales, nintendo will have another console out, with another ingenious gimmick and will have sold millions by the time sony is playing catchup.
also, i've heard it has trouble tracking fast movements quickly.
kinect can't be terrible if it works, even with a little lag... but i doubt there will ever be any hardcore games for it... i forsee dancing and boxing games for years to come
What the heck just happened?
honestly i havent used my Wii in months, I doubt the move would make a difference to me...
Motion was neat for a bit, but I still prefer the regular game controller or a keyboard/mouse
What the heck just happened?
Yeah, too someone who doesn't already know about the Move this commercial will just confuse them.
I like the idea of the Move, much more precise than a Wiimote (well, without motion-plus anyways) and with better buttons. Don't think I'll buy it any time soon though, I just haven't been gaming that much recently. There are tonnes of seemingly great games I haven't gotten around to playing.
Not a very Move-ing commercial. Mii not sad. Kinect FTW!
Should have named it Playstation Bulb. Light Bulb. Fire the controller designer please, it sucks.
... but with Wii it waz pioneered... and sony is just rude... it is not nice to visual kill off innovation source... you respect it... and maybe make it better...

I already know about the move and I still am confused about this. What point are they making exactly? I thought the "yaybuttons" add was clever and made a good point but this? I don't get it.
if people read stuff before they complain you would know the bulb is there for the tracking. sonys problem was making the system to good which resulted in a crappy high starting price. the only thing they will need to catch up with is sales but hardware wise they dont need a next gen console. what will the next nintendo or xbox do add in bluray built in wireless and free online play? oh thats right ps3 already has it all and they dont break left and right like crapbox. who here can say they still have a working original xbox or 360? i cant remember a single playstation among my friend group that has failed without physical damage
. xbox on the otherhand i cant think of a single one that hasnt been repaired or replaced. nintendo just goes out of style to fast 64 and gamecube were fun at first but then meh. wii is already getting there sure its fun for kids and little get togethers but how often do you find yourself zoned out on nintendo for hours on end outside of mario or zelda
best systems to date still nes and snes
The most retarded looking peripheral since the NES died off.
If they want me to play, just allow the use of a mouse and keyboard, on second thought just release your proprietary games on PC so I don't have to deal with the graphic limitations of a console.
thats a pretty good commercial. but not good enough, i still prefer a regular controller over ANY motion sensing crap.
im not too big on the motion stuff on any console, but the commercial was pretty funny!
Should have named it Playstation Bulb. Light Bulb. Fire the controller designer please, it sucks.
Well I think the Torch would be a better name for marketing, I don't really see the point either. Nintendo has better games the controller is just a front so Sony and Microsoft attack from the wrong angle with controllers and not better games. I have yet to see a killer game that would make me want to buy a PS3 or a 360.
And it still looks awful
Wait, I thought this commercial wasn't created by Sony...

Incorrect, the PS3 could not stand up against a new Xbox or a new nintendo if they decide to have recent hardware. Look at the specs for the PS3/360 and see how much ram they have to work with is a good start.
I'm hoping the new Nintendo being released has the most updated hardware with DX11, so the 360/PS3 can play catch up, and finally have something to use with our 5870 or 470, as I'm tired of playing ports made off of 5 year old equipment.
Still need a lot of improvement from what i know... lag, not many games, game copied from wii...
playstation EPIC FAIL
and worse rip-off ever: more or less 60 $ and in some game you need 2 of those weird looking....
Yawn
I'm not sure if I'm dumb or what, but did some guy pick up a dildo and stab a balloon mascot?
First, it looks like they let Michael Bay direct or produce that commercial. Second, it was lame. I am sorry Sony but the Move is hardly revolutionary: it is just a Wii version 2.0. Also, Sony, you have a looooooooooooong way to catch up with Nintendo sales. Good luck.
the Move may be nice but a) they're about 4-5 years late to that party. that's an Eon in tech so i'm not sure they really have room to be mocking the Wii. and b)am i the only one that thinks this thing will make many people look like they stole Gandalf's staff?
So you steal Nintendo's innovation, then turn around and attack it?
Classy.
I had the sound off,I had a flashback to HeMan Yelling "I have the power!" when he picked up what appeared to be a glowing fleshlite and killed a rapist...maybe I got the wrong idea from this weird flick I dunno....

I have both a working original xbox 360 and xbox
does it rumble?
If it does should come with a M rating, considering the shape
The only motion controller worth having is the mouse.
Pathetic that Sony has to copy Nintendo with similar kind of controller. Only more ridiculous looking and "erotic".
what was that sony? a couple years ago you said motion control was crap and nobody would buy it?
I own a ps3 and its awesome, but its just funny to see them go back on themselves like that.
