Nintendo has made a solid proposal to the masses with its motion-controlled gaming console, Wii. The masses have answered a resounding "yes." 74 million times.

A party for both Sony and Microsoft now sneaks into the competitive, motion-controlled technology. In November, Microsoft launched its Kinect the Xbox 360, while Sony in about a week launches Playstation Move to the Playstation 3.

And to take the most important first: Nintendo may have problems with being betrothal focal point in the future. The technology behind the Playstation Move is in fact more accurate than the Wii, which currently is best illustrated in the excellent "Sports Champions."

Where Wii games often have a tendency to require intense shaking, sometimes without results, is the response you get when you move Move controllers in both immediate, detailed and delicate.

The leap from PS2 EyeToy favorite to Move may not be huge today, but it was not initially jump from the EyeToy for the Wii either. And in the realm of the motion-controlled gaming technology is the nuances that govern.

However, it is important to emphasize that Sony has only laid the foundation here. Precise technology does not automatically good game, and is currently Move offer miles and miles away from the rich library of Wii. Here, perhaps game Move the version of "Heavy Rain", which comes later in the fall, be a better indicator of what we have in store.

It is also not talking about a cheap option in the PS3 family of this. You must be out by around a 115 dollars for the camera and two controllers, and 65 dollars for each additional controls on top of this - including the additional controller with joystick control.

For full Move setup for two players you can buy a Wii. I only mention it.



But Move is nevertheless a wonderful extension of the PS3 functionality. You now have both HD graphics, Blu-ray player, a better and better games library and Wii-like gaming experiences the whole family can enjoy in one package.

And it is probably bad news for Nintendo.
