After trying out a number of games, I'm getting at launch:

Dance Central, Your Shape, Kinectimals, Kinect Sports (and Kinect Adventures although it's bundled anyway).  Ones that I didn't try but am interested in are EA Sports Active 2 (have the Wii version of the first one and although it was good I never used it because I hated have to strap the damn controllers to various parts of my body all the time), Motion Sports, Sonic Free Riders and possibly the Brunswick bowling game pending reviews.

Very excited for Child of Eden and Project Draco next year.

I'm only quoting you because you named a whole bunch of games that made me go look them up and I absolutely have 0 interest in any of them :(

Then you have no interest in motion gaming period.

Move out da' way old timer! Cutting edge stuff coming through!

Move games start at $40. Kinect games start at $50. Do you guys see the price of games affecting the sales of either of these?

Nope.

If the Kinect games are more appealing people will gladly drop the extra $10.

Move required games so far have been lame. The only one that seems worth playing is free with the bundle.

As opposed to the 0 kinect only games worth playing

Move launched with titles similar to those(some actually on it), and not well received, in short, you'd probably like alot of the crappy move games too

Can you point me to the Move versions of Your Shape and Dance Central?  EA Sports Active 2 that doesn't require a controller and can track things like push-ups?   Where is the Move skiing game that tracks your body downhill?

I must have missed those.

You can pretend that experience of twisting your arms is the same as controlling a gaming with your whole body but it's simply not true.

the move has the PS EYE and you can play those type of games without the move controller

But its basically just a webcam. It couldn't emulate what the Kinect does.

Great!  Point me to those games please.

It's interesting though that the PS3 version of EA Sports Active 2 doesn't include all the features of the Kinect version.

"Where Kinect’s uniqueness comes in is with its “Total Body Tracking” system: because the camera has the ability to follow your skeleton, it can analyze your exercises and provide feedback. I watched Recio do a few half-hearted leg lifts, and the game quickly pointed out that he need to lift his leg higher if he wanted to get credit for a rep. Lazy folks might have been able to “cheat” the original EA Sports Active on the Wii, but that’s going to be much more difficult when the all-seeing eyes of Kinect are watching your every move. "

Why did they not include it in the PS3 version, since, as you say, it can do all the same stuff?  Someone should show them how the Eyetoy works I guess.

there is nothing cutting edge about a better Wiimote or better Eyetoy. They might be cool but not cutting edge

cutting edge 

n.

1. An effective quality or element.

2. The position of greatest advancement or importance; the forefront

 

I'd argue both the Move and Kinect are a step forward from their predecessors.

No, most of the Move's games have a cheaper SD counterpart on a cheaper console.

Kinect is an actual different technology, though we don't know yet if it is an appealing one.



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

Take into account that that's all being done on the Eye Toy and on the PS2, I'm sure the PS Eye and PS3 can do much better. It's obvious that the Kinect is a better camera, the guy you replied to never said it wasn't. His just saying that those types of games aren't exactly great and can probably be done on other hardware because it doesn't actually take advantage of the hardware it's currently using.

It also doesn't help that a few of the games that you mentioned have had really bad previews.



Bet with Conegamer and AussieGecko that the PS3 will have more exclusives in 2011 than the Wii or 360... or something.
