Why Sony is giving up on Move when Microsoft is still eagerly pushing Kinect?

Serioussamik · 2012-10-10 08:47:41

That's something that has kinda disappointed me, after I spent so much 2 get those 2 Wands ,a Nav controller and Gun Attachment ( I'M sure millions other like me feel the same).I mean on relesease was not every other review praising both Move and Kinect and saying both are worthwhile devices? Both platforms saw equally matched releases (like Sports Champions and Kinect Sports, EyePet move and Kinectimals).And even today there's no significant difference killer-app wise among the two.Some say that Kinect is a bit more innovative and there may be a bit more functionality that the Kinect can end up offering ,but thats debatable at best.But failure or no failure at least MS is not giving up on Kinect...whereas Sony's disinterest on Move is getting all too apparent.Not nice!

And kinect sucks even more sales don't take that away.. The fact that some of the biggest features kinect has that is been use on games and on the dash board is voice command say how silly the thing is,voice command is not a capability of a camera is a capability of a microphone.

Seems the people that matter disagree with you.

because at least sony still knows when to pick their fights and back out when they lose it. the move wasn't going anywhere, people didn't care about it enough, and there wasn't enough software support for it, so they stopped backing it. plus, most people that cared about motion controllers already have a wii.

Move didn't sell as good as Kinect ... but I believe this is mainly coz Sony didn't support it well ... we should have seen more games like that horror titles from E3 ... more games that are built around the Move.

The floppage of Move is good news. I don't want PlayStation to chase Nintendo's pot of golds like what MS is doing.

You're missing the point. Sony is chasing Nintendo's pot of gold..they just didn't do a good job of it with the Movemote. Maybe Wonderbook will be more of a success.

If you honestly think Sony doesn't want to dominate in the casual market you're delusional...oh wait..

Microsoft spent 1 Billion dollars to market Kinect. They are going to ride that thing like Seabiscuit. Trust.

by chasing the wii's pot of gold do you mean releasing a simple fighting game to attract kids staring video game characters and a kart racer to attract kids starring video game characters? yea, so glad sony isn't chasing that wii money :roll:

ALL platforms try to appeal to children. by the "wii's pot of gold" he was referring to motion controls. you didn't get that?
