EA: Kinect/Move FPS "hard to imagine"

I will say this though. I think MS will insist that any multiplat FPS NOT have Move functionality on PS3, unless it has Kinect functionality on 360. So I won't be expecting MoH, Bad Copmany or CoD to have Move support this gen, even though having a Move option for any/all of these games would seem like a logical thing to do.

I'm skeptical that Microsoft will be able to push this term onto the heavy-hitters: they need Call of Duty just as much as CoD needs the 360, and the risk of making a AAA game a PS3 exclusive because they insist on a term like this does not strike me as worthwhile.

Maybe, maybe not. When a game sells 25% more on 360 than PS3, and that represents >100 million of dollars in revenue the developer is gonna bend over and take it from MS. Maybe MS will insist on some counter element permanently exclusive to 360, if PS3 gets an exclusive control scheme (well not exclusive given there's Wii, but MS has nothing to worry about when it comes to 3rd party FPS games on Wii, so as far as MS is concerned Move controls on PS3 is the equivalent to PS3 getting an exsclusive element in a game).

Then again Sony could insist on Move controls for future FPS games if R3 and KZ3 pull it off with great finesse, and companies like Acti and EA can't really ignore the sales PS3 is generating for their frontline FPS games either. MoH on PS3 could end up outselling 360 version world wide.

I guess the main point is that MS aren't going to let multiplat titles have Move support without getting something for 360 in return, be it Kinect controls (or Kinect mini game?) or something else not related to Kinect.
