That's like saying "There is no reason to buy a Wii". It's been established that you're
very pro Nintendo, and very seemingly anti-Sony.
In this, it's also established you assume the Move will fail because you're guessing at the audience - while also guessing the reason for buying it is somehow magically different than the reason people bought a Wii.
To you - the audience is super hardcore Sony fans who can't wait to play Socom with a physically-moving control style.
However, to you - the Wii audience is children and adults. Well...wait, why don't "people who want to play hardcore motion games" fit into here, aswell?
I stand by what I said, and I'll always stand by it. I haven't wavered in my view of the target audience for the Move: The people without a Wii, yet have a PS3, who want casual 'movement' gaming.
Will the selling point of a Move be "Holy shit, I can't wait to play Socom with this thing"? No. I think it will be more of either "Well, Little Johnny's been good, and Christmas is coming - so we can get him a whole new system entirely, or this Move for the PS3 we have"/"I'm only a 30 or 40-something adult, but I want to play games with my children, I think I will buy this Move, as I have a PS3 for the blu-ray capabilities, but have not bought a Wii yet."
Are there households that have both a Wii and a PS3? Totally. It seems to these people money may not be an issue, so in assumption theory - they will also buy a Move around Christmas time.
The Move will also have 'casual' movement games on it. Silly little things that are the relative equivalent of the myriad of shit [that rely solely on movement, and are aimed at children or adults] on the Wii. Did the Wii sell good because you can aim your gun in Call of Duty 3? You bet your tits it didn't sell in the least because of that. So how the Move is solely reliant [in your mind] on motion control games like Socom - rather than things like arcade games is strange.
