I haven't checked this blog for a week truthfully, and  came back to my blog not being accessible, when fixed it I seemed to have lost some files. I hadn't backed this blog up like I do my other ones. Not an excuse but a reason for the 2 people I know try and share info with me XD

Looking like the move.me has had a bit of time to flourish, still can't find any games to test of my own.

Tech Journal

The Move.Me project could help medical researchers prototype, for example, rehabilitation applications for patients undergoing physical therapy. The Move.Me application could also lead game design students to develop new creative concepts for gaming within the areas of 3D modeling, motion capture, and augmented reality. The application is compatible with any Windows orLinux-based PC; other devices such as tablets and smartphones can also receive PlayStation Move‘s tracking data if they can connect to a PS3 system.“PlayStation Move’s camera-plus-controller combination allows for the most precise and immersive gaming experiences,” said John McCutchan, senior engineer, SCEA Developer Support. 

“Now we’re formally taking that advanced technology, which was almost ten years in the making, and offering it to innovators outside of our traditional game development community so they can create their own applications to impact the world in exciting new ways.”

Good set of information from the tech journal, opens me up to backing up what I think move.me can be used for.

Move Sales

I didn't know how much of the Ps3 Market the move covered, there are 60+mil Ps3 consoles in circulation, but only 4.2mil moves sold. Developers are going to shy away from making a game for such a small percentage of the market, a real shame because this will slow down the moves progress.

SCIE

Reading up on the History of Sony from various sites I have come to understand that their console came from a joint project with nintendo, really interesting find!

Ken Kutaragi developed a Snes/Famicom capable of also playing 32bit CD-rom games.

Nintendo disputed with them over profits and dropped out, Kataragi got funding despite the boards appeal against the project. He get's moved to work on it at Sony music, a different financial branch, and the console gets a release in 1994.
