I was watching the press conference live last night. I also watched a live show afterwards on Gamespot. There was quite a few mentions of the Wii, most of them by accident and most of them in front of Sony employees.
OHMYGAWDDD!!! It blows bubbles! I'm sold.

I'm completely confused. I read that whole article thinking it was a joke. I'm now concerned it's serious?!
When are these companies going to realise that the majority of gamers don't like to move? That's usually the reason why they're on a console in the first place... again, I reiterate, if I wanted to play tennis, I'd buy a racquet and go to the local courts.
Hmm....I doubt any business is going to look at nearly 70million Wii sales and think gamers have no appetite for this sort of thing. Even if the core market isnt that interested theres clearly a vast casual one they can tap into.
Have to agree with Garin here Chris. I don't think Sony is going to look at a chart of Wii sales outsripping them and XBox, then look at a chart saying "But Chris doesn't want to Move" and choose the second chart :D
I see your point but believe me it is not shared by the majority, at least I don't think so. Even I like to have a little go on the Wii every now and then.
Of course the two big boys were going to copy the Wii at some point. Just suprised it's been this long. Undoubtedly Nintendo had some "tr" in place to stop them I guess.
The only thing that annoys me about this, is with all the vast money and intelligence Sony have.... they couldn't even be remotely bothered to even attempt to make it not look like a Wii setup. ?????

Haha fair enough, but I'll bet the majority of Wii users are children. Nintendo are the only company that really caters for young gamers now.
Forgot to add on, this is probably why the Playstation Move is highly unlikely to reach the same amount of sales as the Wii. If I was Sony, I'd be focusing on the PS4 instead of tapping into a market which Nintendo is dominating.
But I'm not Sony, so I can't do anything about it. I don't even have a PS3, was pretty worthless me throwing my chip into this thread, I'm not particularly bothered :P

I was going to add, as Chris has, that the majority of Wii's do seem to be for children, or women who like the fitness games (not being sexist, it's just based on what I've seen!)
I doubt those same groups will shell out more for a PS3... when the Wii has so many of the games out there, for a fraction of the price. I think it's only a smaller part of the market that's actually bothered about excellent graphics, proven by how popular the Wii and DS is.
I did think that Sony would at least make something that doesn't look exactly like the Wii's set up though. Did they think that big blue thing would make it seem different?!
