I haven't seen Kinect or Move at Best Buy. I kind of detest Best Buy. But, I was at Sam's Club and they had a Kinect and my kids thought it was awesome. I also heard that the soccer game was one of the worst games on the disc. Whatever. I'm not a fanboy, but I bought Kinect and I think that my kids are going to love it(for Christmas). I think that people need to give Kinect a little bit of a break. Remember all of the Wii shovelware? No offense to Sony, but they blatantly copied Nintendo. I think they have a better product, that is much more accurate, but it is treading ground that had already been gone over. Kinect is totally new and different. I'm not saying that it is a huge success, BUT it is intriguing enough for me to make a purchase. Look at Dance Central. When the games are done right, they are great. I think people need to give it a bit more time before crapping on it so soon.

Welcome to the past Sir, it's called Eyetoy... Misinformed much? And besides, Sony has been working on a WAND concept YEARS before the "Wii was even an idea", so how Sony can copy something they already have had in R&D for years from another company is really amazing. If anything, Nintendo copied Sony (maybe after seeing some tech vidoes) and thought that might be a success and had the balls to go for it (because they were kind of in a bind after losing so bad to Sony for 2 gens, so they were trying to differentiate themselves, so they basically had nothing to lose). I am definitely not saying they did (copy Sony), but for all I know, they might've.

And besides, everyone copies everyone.


Be careful not to call someone misinformed whilst peddling faulty information yourself.  Sony can say that they were working on a wand before Wii, but Nintendo's reserch on motion control predates Sony's.  In fact, it was originally intended to be part of the Gamecube.  Furthermore, Microsoft had a motion controller (Freestyle Pro) YEARS before either Ninty or Sony marketed anything of the kind.

Your last statement is absolutely true... everyone copies everyone!
