If 3DS launches this holiday everybody that Kinect are target against (casuals) will forget about it. M$ is pushing Kinect to hard imo, we 360 owners want our share of exclusives that are not for Kinect please. That said, it will be bigger than Move.

I think Move will be bigger- It's launched sooner, is cheaper and has a bigger variety of games.

Wii games, Kinect is something new, Move is a Wii mote that look like a dildo. Consumers aren't gonna spend that much money on motion control (Wii is $200, Kinect $300, Move $400). Also third parties other than Sega (and fitness games like EA) doesn't sell well on the Wii, its Nintendo that makes the Wii games.

Sony aren't a bad company, hell this gen you could say they have the best exclusives, but a HUGE part of the Playstation brand has always been third party, i just dont see that happening with the Move except for adding Move as a 2nd control scheme (like Heavy Rain and RE5) and alternative controllers never sell well. Kinect gets crazy 3rd party support.

I guess we'll see in a few weeks time :)

Didn't the Move only have 4 launch games? Tumble, Sports Champions, Get the Party Started and I forget the last?

I looked at how many games both peripherals have for 2010, it's 20-21 games in favor of the PS3 Move, and to be fair thats not much more considering the 2 months extra the peripheral has on the market.

I don't share your optimism for the PS3 Move. I think most gamers interested in the Move already own a PS3. I think the Wii Fit sold more balance boards then the Move will sell peripherals.

As for 3rd party games on the Wii, they do sell well. Just Dance, EA Sports Active, and Carnival Games are 3 titles to sell over 3 million. However in comparision to the games Nintendo has, thats not much at all.

As for 3DS, if that launches this fall, Kinect sales will be killed. The Nintendo DS will be the best selling console by the end of the year, a successor console with 3D support, and an Ocarina of Time Remake....KILLER! The 3DS on it's own could probably outsell the PS3 and 360 combined total sales, never-mind the peripherals.

Damn straight.

I have very little optimism for move, but that's still more than I have for Kinect. Kinect's gimmick (hands-free gaming) can do nothing but hold back the "proper" games, such as Oblivion, Bioshock, *shudders* COD etc. The Move can at least take the Wii ports of sucesful games (Wii sports, Resident Evil, Conduit, NMH etc.) and with little work, Move has good games.
