Gamestop is the only one doing the 50% off thing. Amazon has some nice discounts too but not 50%.
I say a price cut is incoming on Playstation Move. To assume its being discontinued is just trollling. It's sold over 8 million with no where near as much advertising as Kinect. I call that a success.

Where it fails is with original Move IPs. I have a Move and haven't touched it in over half a year.

Exactly.  Well, maybe not trolling.  More like sensationalizing an event that happens to any electronic device to get more hits.  I also expect an official price cut.

That's why no1 can make a game where you can move your character through a 3D world easily and not running into walls well moving slowly in a hallway in the only one that's even kinda done it? Kinect doesn't work as a controler face it. 

Of course they did, but what about the R/D and the advertising they are doing now? Kinect sales both hardware and software are slowing down, sure it's a short term victory but it won't last it's already going downhill fast and they just sunk all their studios into it.

Xbox 360 already has something to move your character through a 3D world, its called a joystick and its awesome. Apparently you just want motion technology to play the same old games you've always played. But the goal for Kinect was to deliver something a little more unique and its done that. I'm sorry but ranting at me isn't gonna change the fact that Kinect is a huge hit.

 

For the record lets look at the top 10 sellers this year.

Top Selling Software in 2011

1 DS Pokémon Black / White Ver... 7,108,552
2 Wii Wii Sports 4,094,602
3 Wii Wii Sports Resort 3,984,521
4 Wii Just Dance 2 3,349,268
5 X360 Kinect Adventures! 3,275,299
6 Wii Wii Fit Plus 2,574,035
7 Wii Zumba Fitness 2,475,641
8 Wii Mario Kart Wii 2,458,375
9 X360 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2,351,398
10 PS3 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2,063,616

Kinect has sold over 3 million units this year. When the holidays come they'll sell millions more as well. Maybe they changed the definition of going "downhill" because it looks like Kinect is doing friggin awesome.

Wow you are delusional. All kinect is good for is posing and frankly a mirror is cheaper. Over 2 million of that was from the tail end of the holiday season. so in one year it sold a mil compared to 10 mil in a few months how is that not downhill?

And yet, over 3million people disagree with you. Kinect works well for what it is supposed to do, it isn't supposed to mimic the Wiimote nor is it a copy of Move, it is something console gaming has never seen before, it is innovative to say the least, and a pretty big sucess. I cannot say the same for Move.

Really, if I were to go to extremes as you have, I would tell you that Move is just another copy of the wiimote, I mean  a controller, WTH? Who cares if it used a camera , it still has buttons and is something you have to hold. Seriously, that is not moving towards the future, that is competing with the past.  

Now, see how ridiculouse that is? Please, get a clue and stop wasting everybody's time with your silly arguments, and get a grip on reality.

they marketed the device as an accessory and not as a real gaming use...that is why no one bought it...
plus you can't compete with Nintendo

Playstation move is dead here. No one talks about it or actually want it. Software sales are just proving it :

Sports Champions = 2,57m

EyePet = 0,94m

The Fight : Lights Out = 0,30m

Start the Party = 0,25m

Zumba Fitness = 0,23m

Racquet Sports = 0,20m

The Shoot = 0,17m

TV Superstar = 0,11m

Michael Jackson The Experience = 0,09m

PlayStation Move Heroes = 0,05m

Kinda sucks because it's way better than 12389 wii games that are selling better.

WTH kinda of response is that?? Kinect isnt needed for most games, as is the Move. Balance Board?? what games can you make for that thing besides exercise and dance games, and they sell well enough on WIi without it. Your argument was that the higher the install base the more support it gets, I shot that theory down by Motion+. That thing sold alot BEFORE it was even packaged with the damn Wii, so dont you think by your own logic that they should be drowning in games?? You cant cherry pick what add-ons you want to use

My point is they don't need it because the Wiimote is already a motion control. All the Motion Plus did was improve tracking which developers don't care to use nor do I think Motion Plus features can actually improve software sales. Even Nintendo themselves barely support the device.

The Kinect on the otherhand adds a completely new experience to the 360. It doesn't just make the joystick better.

those points r true, but that has nothing to do with install base. more motion+s should mean more support. they r still both addons
