PS3's Move Closing The Sales Gap with Kinect

[Nereid]

I only said profitable, in no way did I say it was more successful than Kinect. I thought Kinect is a great success for Microsoft. Moreover, it may be integral to their long term business plan, Along with their staple branches of Windows, Office and Bing. It may be their way to define how people navigate through menus, something potentially as big as the invention of the mouse or a remote control. It definitely has potential, and the new Windows 8 emphasis of it confirms the importance to Microsoft's long term strategy.

However, even if Kinect plans may be big for Microsoft, fact remains that it (very likely) is still not profitable. Not at the current numbers, but possibly in the near future. On the other hand, Move may be profitable already, for all we know. It was an in house project that has been around since PS2 days and could have been canned before resurrecting after Wii's success for all we know. Again, I am speculating, but my point is Move has lost less money than Kinect, and is closer to making an overall profit. I don't have any numbers to back this up, but you know as much as me, so you can disagree. :)

Again, I need to say that both are profitable at the margin. Meaning they will not likely be canned in the near future. I am just plain disappointed with Move's first year, and hope for a better second.
