Title: Move Will, Uh, Move Units, Says Denny

Michael Denny, boss of Sony Worldwide Studios Europe has said that he believes the release of Sony’s PlayStation Move motion control device will have a distinct effect on PS3 hardware sales.
“If you look at where we are with PlayStation 3, and where we can get to, this new system that has genuine new appeal in both vision technology and motion technology - and the experiences it can bring - I think it really will not just attract new audiences to PlayStation, but re-excite some of the existing PlayStation fans in the experiences we can give them,” Denny said.
“It's interesting - you look back at PlayStation 2 and it was about the same time in that console's life cycle that we started introducing new casual/social games and new interfaces, like SingStar, or Buzz!, or EyeToy before that,” he continued. “It's not new to PlayStation fans having physical gaming, or having new interfaces.”
When asked if he thought the Move would become a reason for people to own a PS3, or simply appeal to those that already have one, he replied, “It's going to do absolutely both of those things.
If you've already got a PlayStation then it's a great additive experience. It can add to existing games, or existing franchises that people already know. We'll bring new IPs, new experiences for it - but as I said before, the stage we're at in the life cycle with PS3, it can help us broaden the audience now, as we'd expect to do at this time anyway.”
I don't like the ball-end on the Move. Now that I think about it... will the Move also get a "jacket"(AKA the condom of the motion controller, play safe! XD) out of continuous flinging and destruction of the handle?
