Doesn't quite matter if they get Wii numbers. I'm expecting the Kinect to be a big success and that could lead to great sales for Dance Central. The Move is in a worse position because its likely not to sell as well and that's less potential to sell Move software.

No, your problem is you're bias and don't understand many people are interested in the Kinect's current line up. I look forward to what they have coming now and in the future. You're just waiting for games that appeal to a core gamer.

 

The Kinect will have mass appeal to casual gamers and it'll definitely attract core users simply because its unique technology. The Kinect isn't gettting tons of attention because of politics, people are geniunely interested it full body motion tracking.

Casual gamers aren't going crazy about the Move because its too similar to something they have already experienced, the Wiimote. The PS3 isn't known for its casual userbase and I doubt the Move will attract them. I doubt Core gamers want to buy all that hardware just so they can "enchance" games they already enjoy with a joystick.

You're right about the Move. I don't expect it to sell high numbers. Kinect will sell big because of Microsoft's ability to market items and the fact Kinect is something new.

I own one HD console, a PS3 and if that makes me biased so be it. But once again, what I saw (and plenty other people on this forum agree with me, including Xbox fanboys) of Kinect's lineup is that most, if not all the games, look like rip offs of Wii shovelware games. This is something you really cannot debate, the only difference in these games is that you are the controller.

I haven't seen a core game used for it yet, nor have I really seen any core gamer excited about Kinect, once again, based off of the disappointing lineup. Technology will not attract hardcore gamers for Kinect. Its games will. Yes Casuals will like Kinect, but Kinect might end up being left in the dust after they get tired of it.

I think the Move is more priced towards the PS3's own fanbase than more of the Casuals out there. However, if someone doesn't own a Wii, they could skip the Wii and come straight to the PS3 so who knows how it could work. I think you also underestimate the usefulness of the PS Move and exactly what it can do for games with its accuracy. What I do know is that Move is definitely more catered to the Hardcore fans than Kinect is, and I'd probably go as far as to say that most review sites are most impressed with Move's lineup than Kinect's lineup at this point.
