OK, I just got the PS3 move for X-mas. I was all excited. And it's not to say it has some cool ideas and unique options that make it a bit more interactive then then Wii for example. But overall, I'm more frustrated or have a lackluster feeling about the whole thing, and now I'm starting to think they should have just left it alone, and leave that stuff to the Wii.
I also have the Wii.
Here's my experience so far. First of all, yes the controller is very cool. Very solid, and I love the whole multi color glowing ball thing. Very cool. It's even a microphone too and you can record yourself for some games.
Some of the game applications are also cool. Because it's a camera, you can see yourself and you living room on the tv. So some games like the Eyepet, put YOU in the game and you interact with virtual stuff that appear as if they are on your living room carpet etc.
But the thing, because it's a camera, it has so many frustrating limitations. I'm always having to calibrate it for like every single game, every single person that plays. Angle it up, angle it down. Oh, too bright out today, can't play because it's too bright. Can't play at night because you can't see the camera etc. The conditions have to be so precise just to play.
Then even then, it doesn't have a nice easy flow when moving things around the screen. I can't just sit on the couch and slighly aim the controller to the top corner of the screen to target something. No, I have literally stretch my arm out way over there to target things around the screen. Either the calibration or sensitivity is way off, or I'm not doing something right, or some of the games and their application with this camera and controlling detecting is just that sucky.
So any other thoughts? Right now, I'm ready to just stick to the Wii. Whatever tech they are using for that (infrared) or whatever, is just way simpler to enjoy then this camera and detecting the glowing sphere is.

I didn't notice much of a difference from what the Wii established either. I'd have to say for the fun I'd buy a Kinect before the Move. The bowling game was just awesome, and I can't wait to see what they'll do with the Kinect in the future.
