Sony, one and only?

Alright, bar a couple of hiccups with Gamespot, I was able to watch Sony's e3 2010 press conference in full.

First off, I don't know where they think they're going with the 3d thing. It's almost like they're blissfully unaware of how prohibitively expensive 3d screens are. As has been said, too, a lot of people will have only recently forked out for a hd set, and it's a good bet they're not planning another upgrade anytime soon.

I don't know who's running the show over at Sony, but until they get their heads outta their arses, they're going to lose a lot more money if they're banking on 3d selling Playstations. I see a big shakeup in that company in the months to follow, because sooner or later, they're going to start running out of money to lose.

That said, their Sorcery demo, utilising the Playstation Move, impressed the hell out of me. I really liked the look of that. I came away more impressed with Move than with Microsoft's Kinect, to be honest, if just because Microsoft's demonstration of their adventures game showcased some seriously nasty lag. If I jump IRL, I want to see my avatar in the game jump immediately.

Outside of Sorcery though, Move looks just like what Nintendo introduced with the Wiimote so many years ago. That's not good.

Nintendo are still well ahead this generation, and all e3 has really proven is that Microsoft and Sony are much more jealous of Nintendo having tapped that casual market than they'd ever admit.
