Natal is at least creative, I'm looking forward to that one.

Eh... Natal isn't THAT creative. It's just taking the concept of the EyeToy a little bit further.
More over, all they've got coming to Natal thus far is Ricochet, Paint Party, Milo, and Fable III. Meanwhile, The Move has 17 brand-new games announced for it (22 if you include pre-existing titles that will be receiving Move support), including some big core titles like SOCOM 4, Ape Escape, and Echochrome 2. Not bad, considering it didn't even have a name a week ago.

Release Date: May 01, 2004
Exclusively on: PlayStation 2
Basically... on the PLAYABLE :: EyeToy tech demos, this controller is a extension to what they had 6 years ago, but never implemented. So in a VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY VERY *gasps for breath*... VERY VERY VERY small way, Sony did have the idea first. Again though, in a VERY VERY VERY small way.
I do have the demo 8), but I have no time to record it.
--------------------------------------
To explain a little better, within the demo, there is a little "Magic Wand" game/tech demo that makes the user grab a bright color ball, stick it onto a shaft, and if you flick it, then you cast a spell. However, I never had a bright color ball hanging around... so I stored it for later use when I got a ball. You all have no idea how surprised I was when I found this demo inside one of my Eyetoy Play 1's that were stored in storage ::)

Well, this kills PlayStation Move:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/playstation-move-will-offer-limited-four-player-support/
For any game that uses either two Move controllers or both a controller and a sub-controller, it is a TWO PLAYER SYSTEM. The maximum number of these devices the PlayStation can connect to at a time, is four, including sub-controllers in that count.
And the Wii once again proved it's superiority.

Fireware updates. Simple as that, really. I'd also think it's not great to be acting like anything is set in stone yet, considering it hasn't released yet. Besides, I can only see that being a big affect on party games, and shouldn't most party games be simple enough that you'd only need to use one remote at a time?
Personally, I don't use the PS3 for local multiplayer - I use it for online multiplayer. I doubt this info would really affect that.
Too many people are expecting this to be a substitute for the Wii, when you should be looking at it as an enhancement for the PS3.I don't know if I'll get the Move... but if I do, I won't be getting rid of my Wii because of it.

I'm not sure it is that easy to increase the maximum number of bluetooth connections. I'd imagine there's some level of hardware limitation there somewhere, rather than just an arbitrary firmware limit.
