Rumour has it the PS4 was originally intended to require the move motion connector to be always connected and on
Xbox One still requires the kinect motion controller to be connected and on

This requirement was to help encourage game developers experiment/support augmented reality which promised to be the most interesting aspect of the next gen

(Google search Xbox augmented reality/occulus for more AR info)

Has Sony damaged augmented reality chances by making the move motion controller optional to lower the price?

If the move device isn't purchased/connected by PS4 purchasers will game companies still invest in this tech or just play it safe and make basically what we have now?
