What if the Playstation Move became the official PS controller

All these Wii U talk have gotten me thinking how will MS/Sony incorporate Kinect/Move to the next gen.

For Kinect, I can see MS making it as part of the default hardware.

But for Sony, what are they gonna do with the Move? They can't code every game with dual control scheme. And I don't think they want to dump it, cause they still want to tap the casual market. And I believe they want to make it the core PS experience (looking at all future PS3 exclusive atm, they are heavily promoting the Move by doing bundles)

So.. will you guys be offended if they completely ditch the Dualshock and made Move the default controller?

I don't see it becoming the main controller by a long shot. But I am thinking of picking up a PS3 next month and having lots of experience with the Wii should serve me well with Move. I'll buy Move before Kinect, and I haven't even bought a PS3, yet. But that's just me.

I would piss liquid gold and the Muslims and Jews wouldn't hate each other.

Never going to happen. If it did, then I would just not be buying any more Playstation games.

If we are talking 'what if's', which I assume we are since you said it, then I would say that I would get used to it. There would still be other third party accessories that would help players who didn't want to fully move on though (no pun intended). I'm going to go where the games go. if Move becomes the official/default PS controller, then I am going to adapt and move on, but the third party support would have to be big as well. Yup, that's my take, I suppose.
 
Come on guys, be more creative than 'it wouldn't'. We are talking 'What If's' here!

For the sake of world peace, then I hope this "what-if" became true.

Technically those always exist. Like how some FPS players chose to use FragX KB+M instead of the controller.

Was there any discontent from the users when Nintendo jumped from the SNES controller to the N64 controller?

I am still thinking that all these motion based controls are what FPS were to consoles during the 90s.

NEVER.

never.

Making Move the default controller would be stupid, as it is not backward compatible. They need to add a second analog stick and fix the button arrangement to make that viable. If they would simply take a regular PS3 controller, break it in half, add motion stuff to both sides I wouldn't mind it becoming the default controller, but as is, Move is way to limited. They might also want to work on that glowing light, never used Move myself, but that thing could get hugely annoying when it reflects in your TV all the time.

As long as it had a PLAY, STOP, PAUSE and SKIP buttons I wouldn't care.

Boycott.

I'd like to see each company go in different directions. I'd like to see Nintendo do their thing, Microsoft do deeper experimentation with Kinect, and Sony be the one to stick with the typical control input. Each has their strengths. We all know how successful the typical controller input is, Kinect is just starting but has great potential, and despite what people say about Wii, there's about 30 great games available for it.

@niamahai: They won´t but if they do.. they can kiss goodbye a costumer.

I would stop buying games for my PS3.

Whatever next gen is gonna be a bigger Dualshock 2 controller, so gamers can't bitch to Sony that the 360 one is better.

They would never do that. They'll probably continue to provide it as a peripheral which some games will be made exclusively for, while others will simply make little or no use of it. From what I can tell, this is what Nintendo plans to do with the WiiU and the Wiimote.

EDIT: And to answer your question: I would not buy a PS4. Motion controls as the main feature of a console had their shot with the Wii, and aside from sales, failed. Couple that with a PlayStation pricetag and there is no way I'd take another chance on a motion-based system.

they know what they are doing. you never know what is going to happen next.

Move won't be in its current form next generation. It needs an analog stick and two shoulder buttons on the main controller, and games need to use two main controllers instead of a sub controller so we can get full dualshock functionality plus motion tracking.

And by next generation, MS will have updated their controller to work better with Kinect (ie split it in half so each arm could move independently while still having a full standard controller).

However I could easily see both companies including the cameras with all system hardware packages next time around.

Eventually shooters will adapt lightgun-esque aiming, but will still require thumbsticks and face buttons to navigate and interact with the environment and stuff. Nobody's going to take away your controllers or their functionality; they're going to upgrade them.

I would go "Meh" and live with it. Only thing console or gaming related that will make me angry is when it starts killing people I care about.

They'd probably totally forget about it and move on, it definitely seems like if the functionality is there the Vita would be a much better and more likely alternative control format in the next generation, or heck they could probably even release a updated supplemental version of it considering a next generation might still be like two years out.

I would stop gaming.
 
The very thought of this happening makes me sick.

They will never do that

I could see them adapting the Vita to work as a controller with a screen, but the Move will never be the primary control system on a PlayStation system.
