Sony has aggressively started to prepare its potential customers for the PlayStation Move, or the first attempt of the company at motion controlled gaming. And Sony knows for a fact a tough battle awaits them. Nintendo’s Wii is still selling strong and with Microsoft Project Natal motion controller coming later this year things are going to get a lot more interesting.

Maybe that’s why the execs at Sony considered that launching a commercial in which they make fun of Project Natal and the Wii is a good idea. Having watched the clip below I tend to partly agree with them. Yes, it’s a funny clip and yes it has a couple of good jokes in there but it won’t suffice. It won’t convince me, or any really passionate gamer to choose PlayStation Move over Project Natal or the Wii. The information presented is not enough and I’m sure everyone will want to make an informed decision before buying.

The fact that it’s taking a hit at Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s similar products doesn’t bother me at all since these companies are more than capable to respond to any attacks from any rivals. I might add that we’ll be interested to see how these two companies will promote their consoles in the following months. The Wii has to reinvent itself somehow in order to face the new threats from Sony and Microsoft and Project Natal is still a mystery.

Motion control gaming is what the future will bring us. And Kevin Butler “Moves” from the Future in this commercial in order to show us how awesome the PlayStation Move is and why it’s better than archenemies Wii and Xbox 360 with Project Natal on top.

We’ll have to wait until November to see if gamers want to pretend their hand is a gun or keep catching a big red ball. If you don’t understand what I’m talking about then hit the video below and see for yourself how Sony is making fun of Wii and the Project Natal.
