I think they might have just not perfected it yet. Waiting for game developers to tell them what's missing from the controler.

I fail to see why they would want to launch at the same time as MS and not before.

They probably looked at the launch of other peripherals like any light gun ever released and there own Eye Toy for PS2 which had 1-2 games available on release. They saw the lousy sales numbers of those games and devices and thought, "Lets make 25 crappy games for release instead of just 1-2 to make up for it! GENIUS!" *coughwiisalesmodelcough* In the end they can brag about the devices sales numbers and omit the crappy sales numbers for the games. Personally I hope it works out so that at least 1 game will be fun and not a dust collector used to acquire some magic wand.

It makes sense. Line yourself up closely to release your new product around your competitors new product and you avoid yours from becoming 'old news'.

Hopefully, Sony puts this extra time to good use as opposed to just delaying a product for no other reason.

I've never understood the hype of this. The wii is fun for like a day.

if your going up against the WII you have to be on your game and not have games plagued with bad controls like tony hawk skate.

Maybe they signed an exclusivity agreement with some other company or they're waiting to work out some patent issue.
