Clearly Nintendo did something right: years after incorporating motion controls into the Wii, the competition is finally following suit. With the Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect, Sony PlayStation Move, and even the Nintendo Wii Remote Plus controller all landing during the same holiday season, it's only natural to compare and contrast these three similar-yet-different systems.
A group of surgeons made headlines after they managed to perform an endoscopic procedure on a pig located in Hong Kong by using PlayStation controllers. It involved the use of a PS5 DualSense controller as well as a PlayStation Move controller.
Yet another powerful device Sony gave up supporting. KZ3 move was one of the best motion controller implementation ever
That's really cool. It's crazy something like that is possible with gaming controllers 1000's of miles away.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Not a bad article.
Just one disagreement, on the "most likely to collect dust" part. They say Kinect wins because its always plugged in, but as far as playing it thats another story.
Isn't that contradicting yourself? It doesn't collect dust cause its always plugged in, but your not using it. Thats the same idea with Move and the Wii Mote. If you don't use it its "collecting dust".
Sony never really support the original pseye or the ps3 eye or their own sixaxis motion control so why are they going to make any thing beyond the Harry potter knock off.
Another thing is ps3 gamers still believe the potiential of the ps3 hasn't been tapped. These control setups will take away from that power if used.
Then we have the fact that Sony can't make a halo killer or a Mario killer nor a wii play or resort killer. It seems Sony is following the fad part of nintendos goal with out the game play.
Game play has always been sony's weakness which is why they focus on every thing else. Ms is a follower and machine pr monster that actualy has helped out a number of studio early. Yet I don't think they understand gaming ethier. Yet they do understand pc gaming. Sony's trick was to try and leverage pc gaming yet ms core business has always been pc gaming. They just brought pc gaming online to consoles at a cost.
The problem is many wii games use parts or all of the wii mote to enhance play unless you hate console games you love the wii's line up. Epic yarn just came out goldeye is coming with the new conduit and the new Zelda which will eat sorceress soup.
Then on top of this we have tons of games ranging from hardcore stuff to fitness puzzel games of all kinds.
Truthfully the only reason more gamers don't play the wii is their hope of finding a good match online or playing with friends or there HDTV just don't out put sd visuals very good.
What is funny is every time I play mariokart there are loads of people still playing with a very high skill level. The online shooters always have loads of people plus lots of people replay their wii games alot just like they did with their snes and nes. The only ones that don't play the wii are the casual hardcore that are basic graphic whores or new to gaming so they don't know what they are missing anyway.
So if you bought a wii to play stuff like sin and pun or even Sam showdown collection then your not a bored gamer yet if you need hype inorder to buy and play games then I understand move and kinect will be novelties yet kinect will make ms loads of money so they can fund the next xbox.
i really have to disagree with your comment.... you fail to mention the many ps exclusives that are outstanding, sales dont mean that the game is actually good.... by the way we can argue that pseye was the first motion controller and just like the move 1ups the wii the kinect ups the pseye. in a couple of years none of the 3 will matter hell maybe not even the reg controller. i like the kinect but so far it's nothing but party games... which is cool and fun but it's not something that most would play all the time... the move is easy to integrate into existing games giving them more replay value. trust me im enjoing mag even more now, it makes every kill more rewarding some how... in fact i believe that's what gives the move a slight edge, the fact that it can work with different genres. im sure developers will use their ingenuity to make some badass games but for now it's move. the kinect is going the right direction (maybe) we'll just have to wait and see. i'd rather play sorcery than kinect's harry potter game.... the wii is out of the league now it went from the majors to AAA. want to understand how you can say that sony doesnot make good games or evolve gaming. ohh well sony has since ps1, always latest tech... giving time for devs to come up with outstanding games. you buy a ps3 and you will have the best library of exclusives across all genres, microsoft should of bought studios instead of bribing them for timed reases... by the way sony doesnot need a halo killer or mario killer.
Playstation Move > Wii motion Plus > Kinect
LOL. I think the author assumes that if it stays connected, it is more likely to be used. Integrating Kinect with the interface is a better argument, but really who is going to do that either. Buttons are better.
For casuals, all three consoles are equally prone to the "dust bunny factor."
