Kinect and Move battle it out in our head-to-head analysis
Both have motion control at their cores and yet they're vastly different devices, giving gamers a decision to make come the holiday season. Just the differences in the way they detect your movement mean they offer completely differing experiences.

Good article.
Nice written analysis too.
they was constantly more impressed by move, and was actually let down by kinect.
but they are now going but we already know what to expect from move, kinect is more exciting because it's new(lool at eyetoy never happening where was they??) and we want to see dev's maximising it's potential, erm last time I looked they have had the same amount of time to making good titles as sony(and ms bragged about having more publishers on their side) has, and move has the better library, not to mention it can do something called hardcore games!!
About kinect and joyride
"We found that if your fists pass the 90-degree turning angle the game gets confused and sometimes steers in the opposite direction."
About kinect and ballgame
"But it seemed to struggle with detecting our smaller movements – such as the twisting of our wrist to put spin on the ball. We tried repeatedly, starting with subtle twists and then large over-exaggerated flicks. Sometimes the ball span, sometimes it didn't, but we couldn't detect any kind of consistent recognition of our ball-curling intentions."
"This full-body interaction is beyond the capabilities of the remote-only Move, but there's a noticeable delay between your movements and that of your virtual counterpart. Enough of a delay that a sudden last-minute flick of the hand would potentially miss your target."
"This is the most shockingly basic form of gesture recognition at work here – there was no 1-to-1 relation between our movements and that of the runner at all. It felt like we were basically performing pre-defined gestures to activate commands that could just as easily have been assigned to buttons. This is not what we expect from next-generation motion control."
I wonder how Microsoft will correct all that stuff until the release. Can they, really?
they say ea sports active and child of eden that were shown at the microsoft e3 press conference will also be released on the sony platform as well.
does that mean ps eye can steal kinect games and do killzone 3?
only if Kinect can't scan my hand into a M16 in Call of Duty, I rather go for the next best thing and point with something thats physically in my hand.
