Move and Kinect will fail, because they are both missing a (different) key component in what made the Wii a success.What Wii had that made it a success was a combination of the quality content of the games that appealed to the masses, coupled with the novelty of the motion controls.

Kinect has their own motion control novelty, but the games themselves look awful.

Move seems to have more of the quality games, but is missing that novelty facotr that will draw attention to it (as it is an exact replica of the Wiimote w/motion plus.)

 

the problem is your only looking at it based on just the Wii, and not what it offer's outside of the Wii dynamic. Both the Move and Kinect both offer thing's that the Wii or Wii motion plus does not.and since their not out yet it's kind of early to say will fail. like it's pre destined or something..lol

not at all and even these guy's from MIT also disagree with that take on their type of motion control tech...I see many on here still think of it as an exact replica of the Wiimote w/motion plus..that is not the case at all because the Wii is missing 2 key element's that the Playstation move has  and the one the Modus motion control system has.

because if it was a replica as you said that's as bad as someone saying that the Wii is just a refurbished Game cube  which it's not.

But wouldn't you say that it's a bad thing that people are still thinking that? Granted that some of it is just internet bias noise, but some of it could reflect an ignorance even in forum-dwellers that could easily apply to the average consumer as well. Whether it's the same or not is irrelevant, and in this case it's more important that they're indistinguishable (as opposed to your counter-example of Wii vs GameCube), because this is going out to the consumer, who has no obligation to understand the differences in anything (especially between a product that's been 3.5 years on the market, and one that remains unreleased and is visibly similar) whereas its the job of software engineers to know how Wii is superior to GC.
