Playstation Move Vs. Xbox 360 Kinect: Metacritic

[Reasonable]

Hi Seece,

I think there are at least two Move games missing:

Flight Control HD (Score: 82): http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/flight-control-hd

Tumble (Score: 74): http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-3/tumble/critic-reviews

I won't argue about games with Move support as an addon goodie, but these two are clearly Move games.

And I noticed your rating categories are a bit arbitrary: you combine the top ten (90-100) and next ten (80-89), but the next category is only the next five?! (75-79) and then all of a sudden follow the next 25?! (50-74)?

What about combining always groups of ten for sake of neutrality?  I hope your grouping is only accidentally and not by bias... Kinect happens to have two upper-seventies games and Move one in the lower-seventies which ends up in the same category as Kinect's two fifties games. A bit strange, huh?

So with the two games above included the more objective table would be like this:

Meta	Kinect	Move
90
80	1	1
70	2	3
60	1	2
50	2	1
40		2
30	1	1

This suddenly looks much more in favor of Move, doesn't it?  But the neutrality of my categorization is undoubtedly higher.

So I would aks you to update your table accordingly. Thanks!

Thank you.  I and a number of people pointed out that it's odd to have mixed ranges in a table of this sort, and it leaves the reason open to all kinds of missinterpretation.  Note I don't think Seece was trying to play favours for Kinect as his table went up - so far as I know - before there were any scores.

I think he's trying to zoom in on the 50 to 80 section with the view anything over 90 is great and anything below 50 is crap, but it just distorts the data spread in my view.

I do think the Kinect launch titles are slightly more polishing in some areas, and seem a bit more cohesive - I prefer the look of the avatars, etc. in Kinect Sports vs Sports Champions for example - but purely as games the launch titles for both peripherals really are startlingly similar in range per genre and very in line with similar Wii titles.

I feel we're still waiting for the first really amazing Kinect or Move title.
