Question

The launch of what Sony describes as their new ?virtual platform? continues to gain steam: The PlayStation Move. Since the announcement at GDC 2010, it?s clear Sony is placing itself squarely in the versus position against the motion rivals of Nintendo and Microsoft. Adding to the ?It Only Does Everything? marketing slogan since the launch of the PS3 Slim, a whole new segment of users seeking a motion experience are now looking at the PS3 as a viable option. And the existing install base has yet another to reason to be happy about their PS3 investment.

With news updates, and changes always constant, this will be more of a follow up, hitting the high points, and defining what we know and what we don?t. If you are considering a motion gaming solution, or have questions about if the Move is for you, this should help. I will try to aggregate as many links as possible, to give our casual readers a high level overview of what this is all about.

In a Nutshell what is the PlayStation Move?

The Move is Sony?s entrance into what is being defined as the ?motion gaming? category. This allows having a players actions made with the controller to be analyzed, and then translated into gameplay on screen. Interactive titles such as tennis, bowling and racquetball can now be carried out (as they are on the Wii) by performing movements similar to the actual action. As the underlying technology is much different than that of the Wii, it allows movements to be more accurately translated in the gaming space.
