All I ever see from certain people is "Move will sell better in the long run, it'll have legs (yeah heard that before) with little to nothing to back it up other than wishful thinking.
If Kinect has a huge launch that means it can't have legs? (you know like Wii) but when something enters the race relatively slow it'll have legs?
At least in terms of HW, legs are very very different to those a game has.
More than likely Kinect will have legs, based on the fact it's targetted at current 360 owners AND a new audience, an audience I might add Move will struggle immensly to sell to.
I hear a lot of about "the core are REALLY interested in Move" and "oh the core hate Kinect." TBH I'm seeing a bit of both on both sides of the fence.
Again, people think this launch line up determines the lifecycle of each device, because move has core games it appeals to the core? Yeah that's fair enough, but Kinect will have core titles too, then what?
At the end of the day, Move was done 4 years ago and a lower price, and was targetted at a big untapped audience. Kinect has the advantage of being new, being cheaper than PSMove, albeit I admit it's still to high compared to Wii, and appealing to that huge market.
Of course I could be wrong, but given the vibes Sony have given off on how the feel about Move, it doesn't sound like they have much faith in it, or is in the long plan for them, unlike Kinect and Microsoft's attitude towards it, the difference is night and day.

I think you misinterpret some of what you hear/read. Just because some say Move will win out in the long run doesn't mean Kinect won't have legs. I personally think Kinect will sell more 360's than Move sells PS3s, but I think on their own, Move will sell better.
Now of course Kinect has advantages, like being something new and fresh, which works out sometimes (ala HEAVY RAIN), but could also take a back seat to something "traditional". Either case is possible and both sides are expressing wishful thinking. Nothing wrong with that.

Nah I'm seeing a lot of "Move will beat Kinect because it'll have legs" to me it's indicating Kinect will be frontloaded and then tail off (I mean how can something that's frontloaded AND have legs be beaten by something that just has legs?
Like I said, Move will have to sell a high ratio to current owners vs the 360 to beat it, given Kinect is going to spur on more HW purchases thus leading to Kinect units sold.
It's clear most people's sentiments about why Move will be better is because Kinect is the way it is, not because of it's games. Fact is though, most of those people thought the same about the Wii.
