Re: The Motion Controls War
Well, they're both going to fail miserably. I think Kinect will fail less miserably but not for the same reason you do. I think it will sell better than the Move because it is a single device unlike the Move which could require three separate purchases. I'm sure the Move will also be sold as a bundle, but imagine all the sales people having to explain to customers that they do not have to buy everything if they already own an EyeToy or that they can use the Dual Shock 3 in one hand if they would like.
Nonetheless, Kinect seems to be stillborn before it even launches. It apparently can't recognize the human form sitting down. And now we hear that it can't deal with more than two human figures at a time. I'm not sure if it's possible for Microsoft to undercut the promise of their own product any more than they already have. At least it took a year before people realized that the Wii couldn't actually do 1:1 controls (as much as I don't think any console should anyhow).
