PS3 Move vs Xbox 360 Kinect

Dec. 31, 2010 - PRLog -- Cons

Many compare the format to the Wii and consider it a direct copy because of the way the controller looks (i.e., the wand and the add on that looks like Wii’s nunchuck). There are no solid titles out right now that can properly demonstrate Move’s technology, so Kinect has a big advantage right now in that department. Also, many claim that it’s too traditional and does not offer any creativity towards elevating motion controller technology.

Pros/Cons of XBox Kinect

Pros

A big advantage that XBox has going for its motion detection is no controller. All the motion is detected by natural body movements. A unique feature it has over the Move is it has voice recognition. Just imagine saying “Hello” to your XBox and it responds back or turns on without you clicking any buttons. You can scroll through different menus on the screen by simply moving your hand back and forth. It offers innovation to developers, and limitless possibilities.

Cons

A lot argue that all of Kinect’s claims will go for naught if they do not work with its future games. So far all of the little mini games have worked, but is this really a gimmick in disguise? A lot of the games compatible with the Kinect coming out are made for little kids and not really the hardcore gamers. The functionality may also pose a problem, because it’s still a work in progress kind of innovation. There are bound to be quirks or glitches that could be detrimental in the long term. Many wonder how long will the Kinect last against the hardcore gamer base of PS3 move.
