Sega’s Move and Natal games to attract PS2 crowd

SEGA has plans to announce titles for Move and Natal at E3 that will appeal to the PlayStation 2 crowd.

Speaking with IndustryGamers, SEGA West President Mike Hayes says “We’re very supportive of both [controllers]. It’s too early to give out details on that, but we’ll provide that at E3.”

He went on to say, “The thing we like about these [motion control] applications is that they tend to suit the traditional Sega genre. Look at the phenomenal success we’ve had with games like Mario & Sonic, which effectively is a whole variety of party games that happen to be based on the Olympics. And we’ve done very well recently with Sega All-Star Racing.”

He says that Move and Natal will draw in people “I’d call the PS2 type of consumer,” which will suit Sega’s upcoming games. He also said Sega will support each platform equally. He says, “they’re both very important partners for us as we try and sell more software.”
