I mean, of course you won't want it, Babs. It's like a Wii, but not a Wii. It won't be as good as a Wii. Hands down. Why? Because it's not it's own system.
But this doesn't mean there is a market for it.
The people who this is aimed at isn't 'us'. It's not aimed at people who post on internet forums about the state of gaming, or what defines a 'casual gamer'. It's made for people who just want to play games from time to time. Which is the entire purpose the Wii sold well to adults, despite the price.

Its an add-on that nobody will buy, there you go, but let's go up a bit.
I'm not saying there isn't a market for the Move, but at this point the only people this device is really aimed at is the most hardcore of Sony's loyalist.
Their core games are just patches of their older title.
And their casual game, does nothing to differentiate itself from the Wii.
And maybe I come from a different part of the world, but parents are hardly eager to invest in something their kids already have again. So unless Sony really gives them a reason to, parents are just gonna tell their kids they already have a Wii and can play games like that on the console.
I honestly, don't see Move doing well because at this point Sony has no idea what they are doing with the device. They don't know who they want to market it to or for. Its a casual device when it wants to be, and hardcore when its necessary, but it does neither well enough
