Before we go placing Sony Move at the top of the motion control innovation pile, let’s remember that this is Sony’s second attempt at motion controls on the PS3. How did SIXAXIS turn out, anyway?

The SIXAXIS was Sony’s first attempt at ‘Wii too’.
It was an obvious failure at validating gesture controls.
It only took them a further 4 years to get the “Wii too” right. Wand remote? check? Secondary analog controller? Check. Sport demo title? Check. Wholesome family marketing? Check. Internal innovation and marketing risk? Duuur, why bother…let Nintendo do all the hard work.
