*This thread is not intended on starting a flame war*

During black friday today I went to Best Buy to purchase an iPad. Whille I was there I went to the video game section. There was a cool motion control area where one side had kinect and the other side had move. I never tried kinect before so I decided to try it. It was a soccer type game. I personally did not like that specific soccer game because well it seemed as if kinect was not reading my movements clearly. Then I went to go try the Move since i didn't try that before either. It was that table tennis game that I heard so much about. It was hard!!! But I was still amazed at the accuracy of it when i moved around my paddle. Anyways what i noticed was that many people were actually getting frustrated with kinect and going over to play the Move. While some people were playing kinect only a crowd of 3-5 people were wathing them. Then when people were playing disc golf for move there was a crowd of about 10-12 people watching. It seemed that people actually liked it. So who knows, maybe Move might actually be some competition to kinect here in the States.

The whole time I was at Best Buy the specific Kinect sales person was explaining it to some guy, haha

For Move Best Buy needs to have the whole game of Sports Champions up and running...at my local  Best Buy they only have the demo and that is near worthless to get an idea of how fun the game actually is and how good Move is. 

I haven't seen Kinect or Move at Best Buy. I kind of detest Best Buy. But, I was at Sam's Club and they had a Kinect and my kids thought it was awesome. I also heard that the soccer game was one of the worst games on the disc. Whatever. I'm not a fanboy, but I bought Kinect and I think that my kids are going to love it(for Christmas). I think that people need to give Kinect a little bit of a break. Remember all of the Wii shovelware? No offense to Sony, but they blatantly copied Nintendo. I think they have a better product, that is much more accurate, but it is treading ground that had already been gone over. Kinect is totally new and different. I'm not saying that it is a huge success, BUT it is intriguing enough for me to make a purchase. Look at Dance Central. When the games are done right, they are great. I think people need to give it a bit more time before crapping on it so soon.

I agree. I feel the same way when I go to Best Buy. That place sucks donkey balls!

I tried Move at Best Buy.

I can tell you that such a display would serve to turn people off on the game -- because the tethering makes it difficult for the controller to fully show its stuff.

i recently played Kinect at a store near me and i me and 3 friends all had a go. it had trouble picking us up and laggy as hell. the store was almost empty aswell so that couldnt have ben a problem. 

i dont know if all kinects are like it but everyone i have asked here in the UK dont like Kinect. concidering how much microsoft is spending on advertising here its insane! 

Welcome to the past Sir, it's called Eyetoy... Misinformed much? And besides, Sony has been working on a WAND concept YEARS before the "Wii was even an idea", so how Sony can copy something they already have had in R&D for years from another company is really amazing. If anything, Nintendo copied Sony (maybe after seeing some tech vidoes) and thought that might be a success and had the balls to go for it (because they were kind of in a bind after losing so bad to Sony for 2 gens, so they were trying to differentiate themselves, so they basically had nothing to lose). I am definitely not saying they did (copy Sony), but for all I know, they might've.

And besides, everyone copies everyone.

Be careful not to call someone misinformed whilst peddling faulty information yourself.  Sony can say that they were working on a wand before Wii, but Nintendo's reserch on motion control predates Sony's.  In fact, it was originally intended to be part of the Gamecube.  Furthermore, Microsoft had a motion controller (Freestyle Pro) YEARS before either Ninty or Sony marketed anything of the kind.

Your last statement is absolutely true... everyone copies everyone!

That's the reason why I put it in " ", because I don't really know exactly what's going on behind the curtains... but I guess I can not expect everyone to comprehend what I am thinking in front of the computer. Sorry about that =)

Anyways, the video demonstration from that guy on PS2 shows that this has been in Sony's mind for a long time. What we two are talking about are ideas vs ideas (at the PS2/GC stage), he was comparing Kinect vs something new, when there has been something called Eyetoy, SOLD ON THE MARKET, for YEARS. I think that is a bit different.

Anyways, apologize for the misunderstanding! I'll be more clear! Oh well, off to Sony Showroom in Ginza, and then Akihabara !! Great way to spend my Saturday. Enjoy your day.
