Review of Kinect for Xbox 360, Playstation Move and Wii


"Microsoft and Sony detailed their upcoming motion controller at the E3 2010. Microsoft Kinect for Xbox 360 is a controller free experience with voice control. Sony gives you controllers to hold on to during game play like the Wii.
What is the better solution? For Nintendo the winner is still the Wii. Nintendo's Reggie made it clear during the Nintendo E3 2010 media event that the Wii is still a hot seller breaking sales records past holidays." -i4u.com-

Well this would be another gadget all the tech junkies are looking forward to have their hands on. For me every console has its own pros and cons. Playstation 3 is for people who appreciate high quality graphic experience and serious gamers. Xbox 360 of course for those who are a strong follower of Bill gate's empire and not to mention its like a mini computer; have functions and interface which is user friendly (well thats expected as Microsoft is good in that sense). Wii on the other hand is for families who want to have quality family time and who likes to share the laugh together with a bigger crowd.

As for me, I owned a Playstation 3 and a Wii. Whenever I played games on Playstation 3, the only crowd and only gaming partner I have is my 2 year old boy. He will held the controller which of course are not connected and would pretend to play together with me. As for Wii, sometime my wife would join me and of course being competitive, none of us would settle for a second place. But Wii offers lots of fun to my family and we did enjoy the laugh and sweat together.

Nevertheless, Sony and Microsoft has finally realised that to capture a bigger market, they need to have what Wii have, totally different gameplay. It would be interesting to see how would market accept the revolutionary, if not new, technology as compared to Wii. Of course its different from Wii but Nintendo has proven that their games are well accepted by kids and families. Xbox and Playstation is more for grown ups. I am pretty sure that Sony and Microsoft has done a lot of reserch on how to penetrate such niche market.

"Additionally the Wii is proven to work. Kinect has demoed really well, but if it will work as advertised in real living room settings is not known yet. Same is true for the Playstation Move.
It is going to be an exciting Holiday shopping season for video gamer, that is for sure." for more information please visit i4u.com.

Thats all from me. Will come back with more and more...
