Why the Playstation Move won't catch on

Despite the fact that many developers will sign on to "develop," (re-release), games for the Playstation Move, I don't think it will catch on.
Allow me to offer a one line argument for why the Move will not be the next big thing that Sony is hoping for.

Wii - Nintendo first party games = Move.

The only thing that has ever enticed me to buy a Wii is that it's the only place where I can find Mario and to a lesser extent Zelda, Metroid and other Nintendo properties. Shit, New Super Mario Bros Wii has already sold around 11 million copies, does Sony have anything exclusive that can even come close to that?

Of course, I don't represent all the consumers of the world. Perhaps certain people just want games that let them bowl or play tennis virtually or flail around like imbeciles, what about them? Well, those people already have a Wii and are happy with it and are not about to jump up to buy a Playstation for $300 and the peripherals required to play Move for around $100. Many people have mentioned that perhaps people with nice HDTVs and a Wii will want what is essentially a Wii HD. Honestly that sort of thinking is out of touch. I hate it every single time I hear a Nintendo rep say it but they're right; the vast majority of Wii owners don't give a shit about HD.

Barring some unforeseen and outrageous circumstances, wading into the waggle-ridden territory that Nintendo has carved out for itself is one of the most ill-advised things that Sony could do.

EDC Update: Mirror's Edge

The first goal on my extreme difficulty challenge is complete!

I just beat Mirror's Edge on the hard difficulty. I actually found it easier than my original playthrough on normal, largely because I almost always knew where to go next. What a fantastic game Mirror's Edge is, the more I play it the more I'm willing to look past the issues and shortfalls and wrap myself up in the bliss that is Mirror's Edge gameplay. Despite the fairly linear levels, the sense of speed and freedom is a nice break from stop and go shooters like Gears of War, Modern Warfare and Halo where brief gunfights are broken up with constant hiding, healing and regrouping. If you haven't tried Mirror's Edge, you owe yourself to find a copy and give it a go, I'm sure it must be inexpensive by now.

Here's my updated progress:

Halo 3: Legendary difficulty in solo mode
-done
Rainbow Six Vegas: Realistic Difficulty in solo mode
-done
Rainbow Six Vegas 2: Realistic difficulty in solo mode
-done
Gears of War: Insane difficulty in solo mode

Halo 3 ODST: Legendary difficulty in solo mode

Assassin's Creed: 100% complete
-Templars, Jerusalem flags and Damascus Flags still needed
Project Gotham Racing 4: Receive a platinum medal in every arcade event
-approx. 20% complete

The Extreme Difficulty Challenge

I'm the sort of obsessive jackass who spent hundreds of hours of my childhood and teenage years beating games like Goldeneye in every way possible. I beat every level in that game on every difficulty in the time limits necessary to unlock every cheat. I collected all 120 Stars in Super Mario 64 and met Yoshi on the roof of the castle. I beat 100% of Super Mario World, finding all 96 exits and maxing out my coins. Quake 1 and 2 I beat on the highest difficulty, I unlocked every fighter in Marvel Vs. Capcom 1 and 2, I soloed Halo 1 and 2 on legendary.

This is not the sort of behavior that a normal and healthy human being should exhibit, let alone foster, but foster it is exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to challenge myself to beat many of my games on the highest difficulty, and/or 100% them. Call me sick and disturbed, but don't ever say I'm not determined.

Here's a list of the games, my goals, and my progress so far:

Halo 3: Legendary difficulty in solo mode
-done

-done

New Portal Update Includes Mysterious Clues: My Money is on Half-Life 3

The online videogame community has been abuzz about a new patch for Portal that adds a new radio station that includes hidden messages pointing towards... what? No one knows yet. It looks like Valve has hopped on the viral marketing bandwagon. Lets just hope they get it right and the messages don't just point to a website with no information or a countdown timer that ends with another countdown

My money is on the messages being an early clue towards Half-Life 3, (or Half-Life 2: Episode 3), perhaps only the beginning of a larger and more mysterious viral campaign. I noticed that at the same time that Steam updated my copy of Portal, it installed a hefty update to Half-Life 2: Episode 2 as well, perhaps there are some clues there as well.
