I think kinnect is alot better than the move especially in terms of what you pay for. 

1) One ps move bundle is $99 but thats for one person only where as kinect is $150 for 4 people.

2) Quite a few games like archery, boxing or gladiator type games requires two  move peripheral per person which means you will be spending at 99 * 2 which is $198 per person. If those types of games are multiplayer and  you have 3 mates at that time than you need to buy 6 peripherals which is 99* 6 which is $594 which can get you a wii and a 360 slim lol. If you want to play 3 players you only need to buy one kinect peripheral.  Also whats funny is that the bundle comes with move sport and in that game you have sports like archery and boxing which requires two peripherals but you only have one LOL.

3) Plus ps move is a more accurate but a pricey wii remote.

You were think sony would have learned their lesson for pricing their ps3 so high . I guess ignorance a bliss

 

Regarding your points:

1) Kinect is for 2 people only unless you have sources it supports 4 players

2) Additional PS Move controllers cost $49.99. The $99.99 starter kit you mention comes with the PS Eye, 1 motion controller, and 1 navigation controller. Doing the math, for 2 players or the boxing game requiring 2 motion controllers would bump the Move price to around $150. For 4 player functionality, you are looking at 3 additional PS Move motion controllers @ $49.99 per controller bumping the total price to $250 ($99 starter kit plus 3 additional PS move controllers @ $49.99 each)

3) Correct

As for pricing, it is a tad deceptive on both Sony and Microsoft's part. As an owner of a non-Slim console, I would be paying an additional $25-50 to make my 360 Kinectable. For new consumers, they would also have to purchase a $50 Xbox Live Gold membership if they wanted to Kinect online. So, minus the console cost, you are looking at $200 to get the most out of Kinect.

Here it is in easier on the eyes terms (assuming 4 player for Move and full online Kinect experience):

Sony Move - $250 ($99.99 starter kit plus 3 additional Move motion controllers at $49.99 each)

Microsoft Kinect - $200 (Kinect priced $150 plus $50 Xbox Live Gold membership plus the additional cost to make a non-Slim 360 Kinectable)
