Maybe not every household has a Wii. Maybe some families have PS3's for the blu-ray, and their child is just at the age where they want to play video games. Maybe the parents with the PS3 want to play physical games casually.
How is it you call me out for an assumption at the start, and then have a scenario with 3 MAybes have to line up?

But let's work this out a little more
Games like Killzone, SOCOM, Resistance, Resident Evil, Heavy Rain aren't gonna magically find a new audience simply because they have motion controls. There isn't gonna be a ton of people, who aren't gaming enthusiasts as it is who will actively seek out those games on the PS3 as it is yet alone with motion controls.

So those games really only serve to get owners of a PS3 to buy Move and try it out for themselves.

As for not doing things differently with their more recreational games, the fact of the matter is, if it doesn't look different from the Wii, there is no reason to pay an additional 100 bucks for it. Nor is there a reason to upgrade from your Wii. Which is honestly the biggest hurdle Sony has to face. If I'm not mistaken the install base of the Wii is almost double that of the PS3 in the States and on a global level so there is a MUCH better chance of someone already owning a Wii than owning a PS3.

So its not convincing them to buy a Move over a Wii, its convincing them that there is a reason for them to upgrade or get this in addition to the Wii and right now Sony hasn't shown anything that is capable of doing that.
