Forums - Gaming - ps move set to outsell kinect

I posted above about either could be a relative failure or success, but something to keep in mind is when they come out it'll also be seen what each once can actually do.

The Kinect system can be used with NOTHING - just your hands or body.  I saw how they used their hands to change screens ..

The Sony system looks kinda like a modified Nintendo idea.. like you're holding a controller that is motion sensitive.

Just a thought..  pricing won't matter at all -  especially if one unit proves its system is more practical or has more developer support.  A cheaper Sony unit could do well or just be an underpowered, under supported piece of junk that ends up collecting dust.  The Microsft unit could be overpriced if it is undersupported..but if it turns out they are supported and have alot more usefulness its price point wont matter.  It'll be a must have.. Only time will tell.

i will be here when Kinect outsell Move only in its 1st day on sales.



Just a heads up for some of you. You can't just post why Game A will outsell Game B. You have to explain your views



I am going to post the same survey on the VGC site it will show that 95% will purchase move day one the other 5% on day 2.

Clearly it matters who and where you ask these questions.

Winner of the 2010 VGC Holiday sales prediction thread with an Average 1.6% accuracy rating. I am indeed awesome.

Kinect as seen by PS3 owners ...if you can pick at it   ...post it ... Did I mention the 360 was black and Shinny? Keeping Sigs obscure since 2007, Passed by the Sig police 5July10.

actually, I can see it the other way.

Kinect is what people call innovative and the boom right now.

The marketing seems also better.

 

However the reason kinect will be the biggest hyperflop ever is because of Justin Bieber ads

  • Kinect is targetting casuals, an as yet barely tapped market for the 360.
  • Kinect is not limited to controlling games it will also be used for video conferencing, menu control, voice control as well as augmenting other games. Why people insist that just because Microsoft have a tag line that they will somehow not utilise the Kinects features to the fullest is beyond me.
  • Lastly massive coverage. They really are going for it with the try before you buy shows all over the US/UK (Probably mainland Europe as well) and massive advertising coverage. Advertising sells dontcha know.

Wouldn't that make it harder for Kinect to sell if current 360 owners are uninterested.

I am not sure they are uninterested but certainly in the begginning MS will be targetting a wider audience. I still expect a strong uptake from 360 owners but not necessarily for the just the games rather the package.

I fully expect augmented games to come out down the road that will make the most of controller and kinect this will be were the 360 hardcore can engage with Kinect. Leaning, Talking and even feedback based on facial expression it will all come eventually.

When people talk about kinect sometimes it reminds me of the tomorrows world CD peice. They knew it was cool but  smeared crap on it and tried to make it play and completely missing the point.

Thread title seems to imply an overall sales victory for the Move, while the survey was performed within a group of gamers. 

Since the target audience for Kinect is people who don't already own an xbox, and wouldn't otherwise purchase one, there is no way that conclusion can be drawn.

Is Microsoft still working on Milo?

OT: I think MOVE will outsell because Kinect because

  • Lower initial price. The lowest price for Kinect is $150, while the lowest price for MOVE is $49/$99 depending on if you have the EYE or not. This will be important for people not quite sure if they want to adopt motion controls
  • Appeals to existing PS3 owners, Kinect doesn't appeal to existing 360 owners.
  • Kinect will have to compete with cheaper, family-friendly, and well- established wii. For a casual gamer, the 360/Kinect bundle is more expensive and more hardcore purchase. 
  • MOVE has more 1st party support. 
  • There have been many claims of limits/malfunctions of Kinect. No sitting, much distance needed, etc. Microsoft may or may not get rid of these problems, but it should be noted. However it's the opposite for MOVE. You mainly hear good news for MOVE.
  • MOVE is easier to implement into existing established games. This may not be a reason to really want move. But, for someone who already owns LBP 2, Resident Evil 5, Killzone 3, etc. They already have a game to try MOVE with.
You could argue that Kinect will have more advertising, but I would say that word of mouth will be just as impactful.
