Wonderbook
E3 Announcement Fails
Did Wonderbook even come out? I’m not 100% sure. I feel like all I ever heard of Wonderbook, Sony’s AR peripheral for the PS3 was at E3 2012 Sony press conference when it was first revealed. All I remember for sure is that everyone was very confused by it and that JK Rowling was somehow involved.
Sony, which probably pumped a lot of money into developing the PlayStation Move (thank goodness for PSVR to get at least something out of the Move, right?), wanted to come up with something, anything, that would make people feel better about their terrible purchase.
Oh wait, I’m getting some breaking news: apparently… OK yes, Wonderbook did come out. There were four games made for it, and you can buy it right now on Amazon for $8.99. If I wasn’t tasked with writing this article I probably would have never thought about Wonderbook again for my entire life.
I’m all for designing things for kids, and kids at heart, but Wonderbook was strange and a total waste of precious E3 time.
