Forums - Gaming - The "Why I should go with ____ motion control system" Thread

This is an equal opportunity thread.

I want people to write as if they were talking to someone at the beginning of December 2010 who doesn't own a console and has no brand loyalty to any console, but has recently become interested in gaming in general and motion control gaming in particular and wants to buy a console. They are asking you which console + motion controller system they should buy and why. Up to a point money is not a major deciding factor for this hypothetical noob, though obviously price is always part of a person's buying decisions.

I will copy and paste what I think are the most compelling arguments in favour of each console here in the OP. So, put on your salesperson's hat and sell that motion control system like you were Reggie / Jack / Aaron. You don't have to limit your pitch to motion control gaming of course, but listing a whole bunch of exclusive games to someone who doesn't know Master Chief from Solid Snake from Link isn't really a winning strategy.

You should buy a Wii because...

You should buy a 360+Kinect because...

You should by a PS3+Move because...

There is really only one answer for each. Because you like the games that are on them. There is no point in having a control scheme if you don't like the games on it.

You should buy a PS3 and Move because it has a camera and a Wiimote, so it's like having a 360 duct taped to a Wii.



If motion controls are the primary criterion, then buy a Wii because it will have about 10 times the motion control library. Buy an HD console and you're limited to only a couple dozen games and unknown future support.
