First off, Move is primarily not intended to combat Kinect at all. Move is a defensive measure against Nintendo. Move does have the advantage of servicing the existing userbase of its console far more than Kinect does, but the reason is its primarily positioned to give PS3 owners no good reason to buy a Wii (which it may or may not succeed at, since Nintendo's shown that their own motion control is often peripheral to creating killer apps), but the kind of games appearing there are to counter that, which is why we're seeing them push it in to more traditional experiences, or see EA create that exact clone experience of PGA Tour on Wii to PGA Tour here.

That's not how I see it at all. The Sixaxis was Sony's attempt to defend against Nintendo. Move is their desperate attempt to combat Kinect.

They both could have been, just that the sixaxis was a bit more of an afterthought, whereas this is a more deliberate effort to dig their heels in defensively. As much as Nintendo looks like they're in non-competition mode, they're very much after Sony's blood specifically (Microsoft is the one Nintendo ignores almost completely). The 3DS was an effort to make sure that any future handheld efforts by Sony would be irrelevant before they began, for instance (though it's up to Sony as to whether that will succeed), but Sony i think is finally getting the idea that the real threat to the PlayStation brand is Nintendo

I never thought of it that way, that there would be a battle between Sony and Nintendo. I don't buy it. Except on handhelds obviously.
