I would agree sensor placement is key. I am not sure about needing 10 foot as a requirement to play any Kinect game even when I had the sensor low down I never had issues although I was using all the floor space probably 8 foot when player 2 player games.
I have moved my Kinect sensor to a different room which actually is bigger but not because of size as it was perfectly playable in the original room rather because the bloody thing gets played so damn much it was interfering with my Telly time.
The sensor is placed much higher here and I cannot say I noticed any discernible difference performance. I would say that if you play the sensor higher up and maybe behind the TV common sense dictates you get a few more feet back. Obviously if you have stuck your TV to a wall then you have reduced your flexibility somewhat.
Anyway I think both Move and Kinect are always going to have a certain amount of play space requirements based simply on the fact people are expected to move around a lot.
