This winter has seen the two other console makers introducing their own takes on motion controls. Microsoft has released their Kinect add-on to the Xbox 360 while Sony is trying to expand their appeal with the Move for the PlayStation 3. This shift effectively confirms motion controls as the control scheme of the future and further validates Nintendo's bold gamble.
Move and Kinect released roughly at the same time heading into the holiday season. All eyes in the industry has been on the two new devices and how they would impact the sales of the so called HD twins, and what impact they would have on Wii sales.
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.
american's full of impulsive shoppers
once it hit opera it was all downhill
This was a waste of time. 2 pages for this cheap opinion post? And I am fairly sure he is talking only about the USA.
"Move has failed to differentiate itself from the already available tech in the market."
Neither motion control is innovative. Roughly put: Move is Wiimote HD, and Kinect is PSeye HD. Not that it matters anyways.
Over 2 mil sold in Europe in 2 months. It is not just "implusive Americans". If it is avertising that sold Kinect, why is that a bad thing and who's fault is it if Sony did not succeed in that department?
The guy sited innovations and newness of gameplay that propeled Kinect, and the similarities to the Wii as the charecteristic that held back the Move.
This is not a Move bashing article!
You may not care who is winning, but it is still news worthy to look at why one is more successful. It also gives good perspective at where the industry might be headed. If Kinect continues to grow at its present rate, Sony and Nintendo will have something like it or a counter. They all want to sell to a wide audiance for obviuos reasons.
better marketing that's all... Sony could of did it with pseye but they didn't..
Lots of advertising, plus blinding gimmick = $$$
