| CGI-Quality said: I think out-of-the-gate Kinect sales will be substantially higher than Move's (and it will likely push more hardware than Move has). However, I think as a device (especially since Move buyers will likely by multiple controllers) Move will sell more units lifetime. |
Well I agree that really coming out of the gate Kinect has more momentum and will be a heavier on the first week. And obviously, Move will get a lot of extra revenue from the sale of extra controllers. Really, though, as much emphasis as we are putting on the physical unit sales (Move controllers and Cameras and Kinect systems) I really think right now it is a poor way to gauge success. Poor choice for analysis if you ask me. What it really comes down to, is the software you are able to move. If they have the capability to use the device then they are going to buy software for it. May be a little bit harder to determine for PS3 as some games are optional or received updates, but I think this is the best way to go about it. And from a MS/Sony and developer standpoint, I would say this is what they are looking at the most as well. More profits to be made off the software and more software sales equals better long-term success.
