Motion Gaming Review: Kinect vs. Nintendo Wii vs. PlayStation

Having been on the market for more than three years now, the Nintendo Wii is an old favorite. But with Sony gearing up to enter the market with its PlayStation Move, and Microsoft readying the Kinect (formerly known as Project Natal), consumers will soon be faced with some interesting new choices.

So which one is best? TechNewsDaily breaks down the positives and negatives of each. Let’s start with the one that’s already out...

[Donny]

move totally ownes all of those other devices in my opinion.

[RatFuker]

everything but kinect. @ donnie u play demons souls do you? pm me. and im looking forward to sorcery, now that looks sick! OMG THE SPELLS . "faints"

[dizzleK]

sorcery looks cool but not "shell out $100+ to play it" cool.

[NastyLeftHook]

i spend $100.00 every single week on beer, i think move for $100.00 is worth it.

[guitarded77]

And I was thinking I drink too much...

[sbizarre]

:) :D :[) Wii for family's and kids.. Move for me :) Kinect for who ever wants it.

[BeaArthur]

I love all these articles comparing the 3 when 2 of them haven't been released.

Motion Gaming = Casual Gaming

[NecrumSlavery]

Both MotionPlus as Move support core gaming. Kinect on the other hand, does not.

its kinect purely on the fact thats its trying something different where as sony has just improved the wii remote. Kinects a new experience which im looking forward to. I'm getting bored of the same old sequels year after year. It will be a nice break cant wait

[Cerberus2125]

I'm sorry but you sound like a fanboy who does not want to look like a fanboy,"For me is Kinect,anew experience which im looking forward to. I'm getting bored of the same old sequels year after year. It will be a nice break cant wait".so you're saying that it does not matter to you if it works or not,you just want to spend $150 dollars on something just base on the fact that it does something different,you must be a bored billionaire.

[hennessey86]

ill be getting move aswell I think kinect is getting alot of bad press for no reason, its still being developed and im sure as the devs get more used to it the games will improve.I think the pssibilities are endless and i know its supposed to be controler free but i think kinect could add to core games in the future like with killzone 2 where you use the six axis to turn a valve. I know thats not a great exsample but hopefuly you no what i mean. @ally12345 its nothing like an eye toy i dont get where the comparisons are coming from. The eye toy is a basic camera.

[NecrumSlavery]

Do like the idea of Change or the product itself

[hennessey86]

both

[ally12345]

Kinect is a new experience? Try telling that to the Playstation EyeToy.

[Pillville]

from the article:
"the Wii only has a couple of things to put in place, the PlayStation Move requires several components. You’ll need the PS3 system, the Move controller, the Navigational controller, the PS3 Eye"

umm,

Wiimote
Nunchuck
Sensor Bar

the exact same amount of setup as far as I can tell.

[Seferoth75]

Yeah its the exact same thing dude. I mean I buy a Wii I have to go right out and buy a camera. Wii remote, nunchuk and sensor bar.. SO its totally the same thing.

[Pillville]

He wasn't talking about what comes with the system. He was talking about how much effort it takes to setup the motion controls.

I was quoting the section named: "There’s a lot to set up"

[jneul]

YOU ONLY HAVE TO CONFIGURE IT FOR A TYPE OF PLAY ONCE, AFTER THAT YOU NEVER HAVE TO RECONFIGURE IT AGAIN UNLESS YOU SWAP FROM 1 TO 2 MOVES IN YOUR GAMING SESSION

[strickers]

Don't forget the Motionplus so it will do the job they claimed it would.

[strickers]

negatives for Move he listed are pretty weak.

[jneul]

I already have a wii so I want the next step in the evolutionary chain, yup the move:):)
