Sony's $99 Waggle-Wall PS2 to Compete with Wii

[Frogacuda]

It's not garbage if it isn't the system's main controller. The Guncon would be bullshit if you had to play God of War with it, but you don't. There are a handful of games that use the Wiimote very well. Wario War, and RE4, for example. If it was just an accessory, it'd be fine.

This rumor is absolutely not true. There are currently no plans to add motion-sensing capability to the PlayStation 2 controller.

Three days old.

If this comes to fruition, I don't see how MS can be a greater evil when it comes to videogames.

Let's see. MS promised region free then failed to deliver with the exceptions of UbiSoft and Eidos games. MS requires a chip in all controllers which eliminates being able to use standard headsets, mice, keyboards, etc. in games like the PS3 allows. MS forces companies to charge for microtransactions that they wanted to give away to customers. MS is turning into 1988 Nintendo but with a much, much weaker library, and I hope it bites them in the ass.

"This rumor is absolutely not true. The Waggle will be packed in with the PS3, not the PS2."

lol

This is the redesigned PSP imo.

It's not a bad idea really. $99 WiiS2, less than half the price of Wii, plus people would have one motion sensitive system already and ignore Wii in favor of PS3 or 360. *-neo

That last part if the key.

None of that shit matters to you if a good 2D castlevania comes out for the system. Stop making excuses about which system you are rooting for. If you are going with "much weaker library", then PS3 + Wii loses by a landslide.

Way to take that way out of context. No 2D Castlevania is coming out on the 360, so I think I'm pretty safe.

Lol. I know the PS2 is still pretty viable and all, but at what point does that become bad for Sony? MS was criticized for dropping Xbox like a sack of bricks, but it helped to get that audience to the store to pick up a 360.

Sony supported the PS1 pretty far into the PS2's lifespan as well. I think it helps people feel better about their purchase if they know it's going to be viable for a while. Sega ended up having to leave the console market because they didn't seem to be able to understand this.
