"Why do I now have two X buttons and two O buttons? Why would you even do that? Who at Sony thought it was a good idea to have two buttons have the same picture on them? Do they do the same thing? If so, why are there two of them? Do they do different things?
The real problem isn’t the confusing buttons, it is that Sony is showing that all it can do is try to copy the Wii and hope for the best. It’s just a nunchuck that connects to the system via bluetooth rather than connect to the wii remote via a cable. This handicaps multiplayer as well, as only 7 bluetooth devices can be connected to the PlayStation 3 at one time. They can probably get away with this though, the sub-controller likely wouldn’t lend itself to 4 player games anyway."

"The only conclusion to come to is that they want to be the Wii. You may disagree and say that Sony is not trying to be the Wii here, but when their controller is almost exactly the Wii’s and it comes out with the exact type of game that the Wii did, it’s hard to think otherwise."

"So you have the $300 PlayStation 3 and the $100-$120 for one complete set of controllers. Parents are not going to be buying this over the now $200 Wii, it’s just to large of a price difference."

"The sports game that Sony revealed is the biggest proof that they have no idea of what they are doing. It’s an obvious attempt to recreate the Wii Sports phenomenon, except it’s not going to work. Wii Sports got all of the attention it did because it was new. When this comes out, it will have been 4 years since Wii Sports, and the only new thing that the Move adds is higher sensitivity. Problem is, Nintendo already stole that thunder with Wii Sports Resort. "
