I fully expect augmented games to come out down the road that will make the most of controller and kinect this will be were the 360 hardcore can engage with Kinect. Leaning, Talking and even feedback based on facial expression it will all come eventually.

 

Is Microsoft still working on Milo?

 

OT: I think MOVE will outsell because Kinect because

 

• Lower initial price. The lowest price for Kinect is $150, while the lowest price for MOVE is $49/$99 depending on if you have the EYE or not. This will be important for people not quite sure if they want to adopt motion controls
• Appeals to existing PS3 owners, Kinect doesn't appeal to existing 360 owners.
• Kinect will have to compete with cheaper, family-friendly, and well- established wii. For a casual gamer, the 360/Kinect bundle is more expensive and more hardcore purchase. 
• MOVE has more 1st party support. 
• There have been many claims of limits/malfunctions of Kinect. No sitting, much distance needed, etc. Microsoft may or may not get rid of these problems, but it should be noted. However it's the opposite for MOVE. You mainly hear good news for MOVE.
• MOVE is easier to implement into existing established games. This may not be a reason to really want move. But, for someone who already owns LBP 2, Resident Evil 5, Killzone 3, etc. They already have a game to try MOVE with.

You could argue that Kinect will have more advertising, but I would say that word of mouth will be just as impactful. 

 

Yes to Milo, in fact Peter got quiet the hump when it was suggested that it was not and the statement was clarified.

I think the issues have been given a lot of bad press in very small circles in the wider circles they are making every effort to get that word of mouth going. Also I think it is worth noting that not all 360 owners are hardcore but it is fair to say they represent probably the majority demographic as they probably do with the PS3.

I actually think the Wii helps Kinect. I think a lot of them will be looking for something new, Nintendo are not going to give it to them this holiday so it will be Move or Kinect and Kinect has the edge here.

Obviously you know the price argument. Obviously the headline favours the Move the bean counter may talk higher potential total cost of ownership but no getting away fromt he fact that Move certainly appears cheaper.
