In the ongoing Gamers Development Conference (GDC), Sony strategically announced a new application called Move.Me for the new developers. Basically, Sony wants developers to make unimaginative & creatively driven technology in the fields of health, education etc. By this move, the company wants to expand the reach of playstaion move beyond gaming. Last month, Microsoft announced that they will be introducing Kinect to the new consumers beyond proud Xbox 360 owners. We usually hear from both Sony & Microsoft that the seventh generation of gaming which includes home consoles like PS3 & Xbox 360 will be longer than expected. So, are these companies trying to make their consoles life little longer? Recently, we got to hear, that Sony has scrapped the development of PS4 because of lack of funds. On the other hand Microsoft spends approximately 500 million dollars to promote Kinect. Both the companies are trying their best to popularize their respective motion weapons .Consoles(hardware) sales in the recent months has shown no improvement despite launching redesigned consoles. At this point of time ,opening up their technologies does make sense.
