Current Kinect pricing is a marketing scheme!

I dont know. MS sell a $100 wifi add on before so..

Before? They still do. My guess is the wifi adapter is purchased by those with a lot of disposable income. And they must sell pretty well considering there hasn't been a price cut on them.

The Kinect is part of the 360's rebranding and the price needs to be competitive with other motion devices.

yeah it is at $150 its cheaper than sonys move which will cost close to $200 to get more than 1 player

it's actually cheaper to buy them all separately.

Well the Move bundle cost $100. Throw in the Navigation controller and that's another $30.

A lot of people like to play games with their friends and the Move is intended to appeal to the casual market. Another Move controller is gonna cost $50. Throw in $30 if you want to play a game that requires the Navigation controller. So a Move bundle, additional Move controller, and two Navigation controllers will run you about $210 plus tax.

Also, I was looking at The Fight: Lights Out. From what I can tell that game requires two Move controllers for each player. So if you wanna play that game split screen it'll require four Move controllers. So that experience will run $250 plus tax.

Basically I'm saying the full Move experience isn't cheap. The full Kinect experience shouldn't run more than $150 and I presume the real price will be around $100.

toshay. in your argument somebody's real friendly. while in mine you haft to buy your own.

Its actually spelled touche.

Generally people own multiple controllers so they can play with friends and family. The Move clearly has a focus on multiplayer gaming as well but the controls aren't cheap and the upcoming titles so far are lack luster.

You could argue the Kinect titles don't look great either, but you only need one Kinect device for multiplayer.
