Xbox Kinect v/s Playstation Move
The latest innovation in the gaming industry is the advent of motion controllers, and the two major players are gearing up for war. Sony and Microsoft have attacked this new dimension in gaming from two different viewpoints. Whereas Microsoft tracks the motion of the user, Sony's controller tracks its controller in 3-D space. Microsoft seems to be using the Xbox Kinect as a testbed for its motion control project, whereas the Playstation Move is just a motion controller. The Kinect can track up to two people simultaneously, and is now integrated into very few games, whereas with the Move, the number of people who have the controller can participate in the game. The games which will implement these controllers will decide their fate.
