To get two Move contollers (which obviously you will need unless it is a on rails game) will cost you £140. That is a lot of money. Then add to that the additional assesories and batteries etc.. the cost will go up and up.
So not really sure people can say Move is cheap. I normally don't agree with Pachter but he said ""Some games can be played with the PlayStation Eye camera and a Move controller, some with the Eye and two Move controllers, and some with the Eye, a Move controller and a Navigation controller. In order to be safe, consumers wishing to participate in the Move experience will have to purchase the Eye ($29.99), two Move controllers ($49.99 each) and the Navigation controller ($29.99), plus a game.
"If purchased as part of a bundle, the all-in cost to play with Move will approach $180, which we think is beyond the reach of the typical household"
And he is right. That will hurt sales badly to begin with. The difference between the two is we know Moves price, it is high once you have the things you need. We are yet to see Kinects price. I expect around $70-$100 range as do they. And at that price they predict
"We think that if Microsoft prices Kinect close to cost (which we estimate to be around $70), it will see a very high attach rate, with the potential to drive $200 – 400 in lifetime value from each Kinect household"
So i agree with them, cheaper Kinect beats more expensive Move. Especially when you need to buy at least an additional one to play two players.
