what's up everyone John Retton Gherkin TechnoBuffalo here I received a decent amount of questions about Sony's new PlayStation Move particularly how compared with Nintendo's offering the Wii Remote thought I put these two controllers head-to-head and show you what differences are let's get dirty all right so before we start talking about 3d sensors and LED lights and such let's talk about the physical differences between these two controllers and how they feel in the hand obviously these two are motion sensitive controllers all I do they're motion sensing a little bit differently on Nintendo connects to an infrared sensor hooks up to your TV and in turn to the console itself and the text motion left right up or down I won't detect forward or back so there's no 3d detection here primarily the controllers are done via motion based so traditionally where you push a button to say jump if you lift the controller up that same motion would be achieved depending on how you're holding the controller your button choices are actually quite limited you've got a up/down left direction of a traditional four-way navigation with an A button got a positive or negative button a one or two and a trigger on the back holding it like this that's us - just a few buttons holding it more traditionally if you're playing a classic game like on tendo Super Nintendo or like if access to sort of the buttons that you may be used to with the same navigation and the one or two og function as the A or B with Nintendo if you want to play a Wii game you have to use the motion controls you don't have an option to use a classic controller or anything else it is exclusively motion based Sony's move on the other hand is not exclusively motion based you can use a Dual Shock controller for most games that aren't move exclusive and primarily all the major releases will be move and traditional Dualshock 3 compatible now Sony's controller detects motion a little bit differently I can certainly detect left right up or down but this big rubber ball on the top houses an LED light which speaks to the PlayStation Eye essentially a very high quality webcam which is required to use the move and what that does is what's it recognized 3d space so you have full range of motion keep it full circle up or down anywhere you want to go if you get a full I guess 6 axis type compatibility the PlayStation Eye is really just a high-definition webcam with a speaker built in it can capable of recognizing so of high quality 60 frames-per-second at 5:40 buy for 80 or 120 frames per second at 320 by 240 the medium games our topic that people feel very passionately about I you really Pro one camp or another a very few people sort of straddle in lines which console they prefer and I am one of those I own a PlayStation and Xbox and we and I appreciate them all very differently so the move adds a lot of sort of extra functionality so we talked about buttons on the Wii Remote let's look at the buttons on the PlayStation Move so you've got your sort of typical DualShock esque buttons you've got the square the X the triangle to 0 select on the left start on the right and trigger on the back in fact Sony is really pushing their buttons and literally pushing the buttons as one of the selling points of the PlayStation Move over the completely buttonless on Microsoft's Kinect coming out relatively soon now both these controllers deliver true one to one motion the Wii does require a Wii MotionPlus it doesn't add on the hooks up to the bottom to get that true one to one motion I found it to be very smooth I really haven't any jerky feelings with the PlayStation Move at all whereas it intended we without the Motion Plus differ use one although it doesn't always work as smoothly as you would like so again well the nice things about the movies get that added functionality of the motion controls um also you're getting a library of games that are really more dedicated to a hardcore gamer the Wii is targeted mostly towards party games certainly there are some more adult-themed games majority of the catalogue are deemed toward the younger demographic a sony's done a really good job about targeting their console towards the hardcore gamer and the move is for an evolution of that so things like God of War to be able to control crotteaus uh in the new and different way without sex are you feeling like you are a cooking mama or managing little pets so you've got access to sort of use these controllers in a very very new way for very adult themed games certainly we've seen games on the Wii that a use sort of a gun motion but now with the PlayStation moving it that's that same sort of control scheme get in high-definition the Wii is not an HD console PlayStation 3 is certainly leading the charge for high-definition so you can access to a ton more games and you're going to use it in sort of a new and inventive way now Sony's also releasing a least amount of party games with this as well if that's your thing the PlayStation Move bundle comes with a Sports Champions game which is very similar to the Wii Sports game that we've seen in the past now both controllers are not without their accessories the Nintendo Wii has a nunchuck accessory which gives you a bit more functionality has some motion sensing in it as well and the PlayStation Move has a navigation controller which essentially brings full DualShock compatibility and controlling options to the controller you can see it right here with its two triggers on the back this is actually not required you can hold if you'd like and you can deal with the awkwardness a DualShock 3 controller in your left hand if you so choose so this is actually not a requirement but let's talk about price - this is actually sort of a very expensive endeavor if you need to get the full kit to get access to PlayStation Move meaning you need the move controller you need the navigation controller any de PlayStation Eye it's going to set you back about a hundred and thirty dollars which is about $70 shy of the total cost of the Nintendo Wii console itself in addition to of course what the PlayStation console is going to cost you this is a very expensive proposition now the future of the PlayStation Move is going to be determined a lot by the developers all the majority of developers have said they will support and move so we will see sort of the PlayStation games that we've grown to know and love Metal Gear Solid god of war and such with move compatibility and something I'm really excited about I really liked playing the Wii I enjoyed it but I felt like I couldn't enjoy my full catalog of games you know Call of Duty like the full Call of Duty not the sort of we up version that I had to do on other consoles so I'm really excited about taking my my gaming enjoyment instead of taking it into the 3d world and not being limited to just left or right up or down but really sensing motion so I'm thinking lightsaber games and such you're really going to be a lot of fun swords and guns we've already seen a lot of adapters actually put this into a gun and let you use it as a trigger so really I'm very excited I hope this is just a simple explanation for people I didn't get into sort of high tech things I know how the hardcore gamers are looking for but I wanted sort of an overview a high-level sort of look down so what differences between these two controllers are particularly answer what this little ball at the top is that's been what mostly questions have been geared to hope you guys in joyed are you excited about the move you care not care you waiting for the Kinect I really want to hear what you guys have to say I am John Rhett enger' from TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you the next video bye-bye you
