Ars Technica posted an opinion piece today stating that Sony’s Playstation Move is better than Microsoft’s Kinect (link) which in itself wasn’t exactly eye-opening. What was interesting was the third comment, posted by ArcaneAmoeba:
For two players with 2 Move navigation controllers, I believe the price is far above Kinect. Even though Move has far better launch titles than Kinect does, it’s not enough to make me even consider buying a PS3 yet. Since I already own an Xbox I really hope there’s gonna be some good titles that would make it worth buying. Casual games aren’t gonna cut it. The technology is great, but the games are terrible.
Seriously? I mean, how long have both consoles been out? Doesn’t he think that if there’s been nothing to make him purchase one after all this time that there probably never will be? I am simply astounded at the guys line of thought that there still might be, after all this time, a chance something would come out on PS3 only which would tip the scales and convince him to buy a PS3.
Incredible!
It’s funny isn’t it – as if he’s just been waiting all these years for a reason to buy one… People are weird.
Personally, I think the Kinect hardware is pretty damn cool but the games… urg. No. Wheeras the Move stuff doesn’t thrill me but the potential for games does!
