kinect will fail but not fail badly they will just have to forget about kinect 

kinect is at a stupid price for 129 pounds and move is only 40 pounds

To be fair, the full Move experience will cost considerably more than 40 pounds. Several games seem to require atleast two Move controllers (or atleast for the full experience), most people will need to buy an Eyetoy, and the Navigation should be necessary at some point. Ofcourse you'll need more Move controllers for multiplayer.

In a nutshell, if you only spend 40 pounds you aren't getting the full Move experience.

No, you are getting one expensive paperweight.

In all seriousness, these posts on Kinect vs. Move is akin to old men arguing about an upcoming military conflict. We may have suspicions on how it may turn out, but we will be proven wrong once the battle gets underway.

It is easy to ridicule the Kinect, but don't forget it is one piece of equipment, while the Move is at least 3 (assuming one player only with the Navigation Controller, Eye and  Motion Controller).

If the Move Motion controllers retails at $49.99 a pop, then the Move has the potential to be a lot more expensive than the Kinect. Do the math:

1. Kinect $150 standalone (maybe $200 if you have a non-Slim 360 model and you pay to make your 360 Kinectable).

2. Move will come at $99.99 for the starter kit (eye, motion controller, and navigation controller), then $49.99 for each additional Motion controller (dildo looking controller). For 4 player capability, I can easily see the price of the Move at $250 (starter kit plus 3 additional motion controllers at $49.99/controller).

To be fair, You only NEED two wands for ONE game: The Fight: Lights Out. Other games may offer to use two wands  (Gladiator duel), but you can use the nav controller instead. I don't even know why your bringing up 4 player capabilty because

 

  • Kinect doesn't even allow 4 players on one kinect device
  • I have yet to see a 4 player Move game where 4 people could play at one time. Most 4 player games could be used to take turns using ONE Move controller. 
You may have the option to buy an extra MOVE controller, but that doesn't mean it's needed, unless you really want to play The Fight: Lights Out. Either way, if you just wanted to try out motion controls, The starting price is higher for Kinect.
