Then again I believe that no one has really bothered to explore its capabilities.I think the real trick for both Move and Kinect is to find both games and customers willing to accept the flaws of the systems.
Both Sony and MS have the money to invest in selling this stuff to developers (which is what they did at the last E3 and related events).MS also has the amateur developer community provided they allow XNA to access the Kinect controller ... and that community may surprise us all)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, the balance board doesn&#8217;t have any real support, but then it was a really limited device by design.

And the band hero set, indeed proves that people are willing to pay for something like that (I had forgotten about that franchise), but I don&#039;t see the same thing happen for Move or Kinect.
But time will tell, I&#039;m sure. I just don&#039;t think it&#039;ll reach Wii popularity, not with consumers and not with third parties. :)]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m not terribly convinced.

100$ for an extra that is only used by a fitness game ?Move &amp; Kinect will sell if even only one of their games manages to push the right buttons..
And as geeks we should appreciate the kind of magic required to make a computer recognize someone by merely using a camera as an input.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The GuitarHero-franchise has proven that people are willing to pay 100+$ for a set of controllers that only works for a single game.</p><p>Nintendo&#8217;s Wii Fit has proven the exact same thing.<br

It was a gimmick, and made you look stupid, according to them.
Now, who looks stupid? I mean Project Natal, oh sorry Kinect, (played too much with K&#039;nex, MS?) has you jumping and looking stupid, and you need a big-ass living room for it. And the balls on Sony Playstation Move... they just make me laugh, how silly those look.Indeed, as someone else pointed out earlier, Nintendo had the balance just right and it was there from the release of the console..I doubt that Kinect nor Move will get much third party love, as not everyone will go out and get those controllers. So those things are pretty much doomed from the start. As a games developer you can&#039;t be guaranteed that everyone will have the controllers, and you don&#039;t want to saddle your potential buyers with a higher price, just because you need to buy the controllers.
So, both are just me-too products, that probably won&#039;t get adopted much.]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know, I can still hear the taunts from the XBox and PSX fanbois and from the MS and Sony execs, when the Wii was first officially announced.<br
