Apparently this isn't common knowledge, so a new thread is in order.

Hardware Latency:

Playstation Move: 22 milliseconds
Wii Remote: 50 milliseconds
Kinect: 100-150 milliseconds (the cam runs at 30hz=30fps, this alone translates to a minimum of ~100ms lag)

This is the speed at which the hardware reacts; no amount of software tweaking can improve it. Add to this the unavoidable delay caused by the software side: For modern console games, the additional software lag appears to be between 55 and 130ms. Some bad offenders such as GTA IV have even more, around 180ms.

Lowest Possible Total Lag:

Playstation Move: 78 milliseconds
Wii Remote: 105 milliseconds
Kinect: 175 milliseconds

Average Total Lag:
Playstation Move: 115 milliseconds
Wii Remote: 143 milliseconds
Kinect: 218 milliseconds

This is why the lag in Kinect games is much more noticable than for Wii and Move: http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/kinect-latency-tests

it didnt deserve its own thread because 1) there is about 50,000 threads having ago at kinect one way or another. 2) people know that Kinect has more lag, this is no secret. When you are the "button" as opposed to a sender receiver designed unit you will always get more lag, until they learn how to do it correctly.

Why does a new thread need to be put up if there was 3-4 minimum before kinect was released about the same topic?

So people could accurately compare Wii, PS Move and Kinect before Kinect was released? Awesome.

Interesting. I suppose it speaks a lot for our brains' ability to compensate for delay that everything I do with the Wii controller feels instant after I play it for a while...

no the stats were there, the milliseconds dont matter, because guess what milliseconds are a quite small measurement, but as khuutra said the more you play it the less it will matter.

Hahahahhahah. Thank you for your continued awesome contributions.

Your really grasping. It's a good article from a well known tech site about the three current motion controllers on the market. If your so bothered by the results then just ignore it and enjoy your game, you don't have to take away the fun from the tech heads who like to debate about this kind of stuff.

good to know i guess

That, and there's a certain threshold below which we simply don't notice any lag. Of course, lower latency also means you can react faster in a game.

not grasping at anything, if this was just about the numbers than ill let it go, but this DOES NOT deserve a new thread as there were threads about Kinects lag to other systems lag before launch. So this is a repeat thread albeit with new information.

Bothered about results? really, I havent read a huge amount of reviews of the systems complaining about the lag of Kinect therefore not fussed about the results, i'll let the "tech heads" discuss this. I just think it was a thinly veiled attempt. I will leave it at that. If it was innocent I apologise.
