I don't think ^ will be successful lol



Currently playing:

Unreal Tournament 3, Warhawk, Rock Band, Final Fantasy X, Final Fantasy XII, DMC2, then 3, and Radiata Stories

As of now i am inclined to believe move, until i see more of kinect and see the pricing of both it, the bundles and its kinect only games( unless they're honestly 59.99 like amazon lists them) I can't determine how successful it could be.

I would say move. it now has a strong enough hardcore selection of games and a good few casual games.  the move will be supported by the core gamer first and then push into the casual market.

where as Kinect will start in the casual market and work its way back to the core.

so in other words Sony is starting in a position of strength and pushing into the casual market, where as ms is throwing a stone into a river and making it become an island. they probably will struggle to get games to bridge the gap, it will be one market or the other.  where as Sony will have the games in the middle like time crises, which I think falls in between casual and hardcore (which equals mainstream). so basically three markets from the start, with strength in it's core.

not only that but the moves precision, will allow for a more compelling experiences and immersive games, when move is released all the features at the moves disposal not just the wii like functions will be shown. reality will set in making it even harder for Microsoft  to keep the new and revolutionary, smoke and mirror campaign up. hype will be hit hard, similar to what happened when a bbc reporter got his hand on both the peripherals. the move will come out on top imo.

if not I still think it could be used for other things, in the area of game development.



correct me if I am wrong
stop me if I am bias
I love a good civilised debate (but only if we can learn something).

Btw Microsoft is announcing the core lineup and pricing in August at Gamecom, just FYI. For instance they didn't show off Fable 3 even though its been touted as a Kinect game.



Tease.

really? So the games sony annoucned at GDC are nothing? And yes a few coke cans to everyone on earth that likes coke is bigger than a show on good morning america, after move has already been demo'd to many many sites/tv shows..

1 billion cans of coke are sold per day, that's a lot of coverage for the Move if you ask me. Anyway Move got me after i saw the Sorcery, and Socom 4. Kinect on the other hand im not sold on yet, no hardcore games makes me very sad, and no price, but M$ still have time i would hope.

yes some core games for Kinect could change everything thanks for that info.

Why is everyone saying these devices are expensive? Wiifit came with 1 game and a plastic board and was 100 bucks. This is *slightly* more advanced tech with a lot more applications...it costs money to build this stuff.

With that said I think Kinect will mop the floor with Move when it comes to sales.  

Move is just a gaming device, which while more precise, has been available for 4 years now. Sony may stress that its more precise...but casuals dont care, only we do. 

While Kinect is a user interface device for the xbox as much as its a gaming device...Not to mention that its slightly more unique in its execution and is easier to market to casuals (tracks body, and voice control...who doesn't want that?). Add to that the day when Kinect announces PC support and yeah...

My thoughts exactly.
