There are different ways in comparing prices with the motion control options from the three consoles, but in the end, the Wii comes bundled with a one player option for $200, and none of the other two even approach that. As a new owner looking for a motion setup, the Wii is unmatched in price. After that, Kinect and Move both have their price advantages depending on certain scenarios (supposing a $149 price point for Kinect).

Base investment-Advantage Move

2-4 player investment-Advantage Kinect

They seem to be wildly different in their approach and demographics though, so it's hard to say which will be more effective. Sony seems to be marketing the Move to the exact same demographics they market the PS3 to now. There doesn't seem to be a large branching out of family oriented, multiplayer gaming, and that is evident when their big Move showing at E3 is a single player adventure game suited for the same crowd that purchases LBP, Uncharted, Infamous, etc. 

Microsoft on the other hand has Nintendo 101 in place with the way they're marketing this. It is gung ho going for the expanded market, to the point that they're ignoring their current userbase to attract this brand new one. The games all have Kinect branding, all are simple to execute, all have a pleasing art direction for families. I just recently saw a large scale special on Nickelodeon about Kinect. It was a massive presentation. So while I think single player gaming will be practically non-existent on this, they will have secured more success in the multiplayer aspect than Move will.

Great points!!
