good review. it does sound cool how the kinect will automatically sign you in. did ign review move?

Yah.  They gave Kinect a 7.5 and Move an 8.5.  Based on the conclusions at the bottom, price and lag on Kinect were big factors.

Edit: To clarify, the precision with Kinect was good, their issue was with lag.

Hmm, They did say something about it not being intended as a 1:1 experience, so it doesn't sound like they were all that positive about its precision, when both competitors offer 1:1.

 

And as they point out with the lag issue - it differs game to game, which makes it a software issue, not a hardware one and thus hopefully the 2nd wave of kinect games will have very little lag.

The lag could depend on how complex the software is as well. So far Boxing seems to suck for both Move and Kinect. If the hardware is doing different amount  of  processing for each game then it would be a combo of hardware and software limts. Then most HDTV themselves has lag which would add the amount of delay between your movement vs screen movement.  Time will tell.
 For any 1:1 motion you want to make sure your HDTV has some kind of "game mode" setting which at least reduces most of the lag with HDTV.
