NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I thought I'd never see that thread again!!
On topic: I suspect that in a years time, the smoke from the Kinect/Move battle will be clear and one of the two will be an overwhelming success while the other will be an interesting experiment (aka huge failure). Let's come back in 365 days and see how it went.

Actually, I do not see either of them being tremendously successful this generation. Until their refined versions are bundled with the PS4/Nextbox, they will be nothing more than a peripheral (light gun, Sega CD etc.) It is good that Sony/MS are testing the waters, but honestly, I do not think it will make a significant impact for either.
Take my case for example, while I prefer Move's implemendation, I probably won't get it at all. I already have a Wii, and with WMPlus I really haven't seen anything on Move (or Kinect) that excites me. Sony/MS can bash Wii all they want, but the fact remains that Wii has a solid, prexisting library of motion games, and I have seen little software that makes me want to move (pun intended).
There are many in my posistion, so I hold that neither Move or Kinect will be truly successful until bundled at launch. Then again, I am a PC gamer too, so maybe console-only gamers would be more likely to buy Move/Kinect.
