Too bad Sony negates the awesomeness that is Kevin Butler with the horridness that is Marcus PSP.Originally Posted by NeoCracker
They say any press is good press. I wonder if that's really true. The Move has been met with almost no fanfare whilst the Kinect has be made into quite the spectacle. However, Kinect is getting ripped on harder. To those moderately informed people in the target demographic, maybe it's possible that they will hear the bad press on the Kinect and go for the Move instead, which hasn't gotten all of the vitriol Kinect has and is more Wii-like so as to be comfortable. On the flip side, Kinect is new and exciting.
I really wonder how it's going to play out. I just know that I'd rather get the motion controller that didn't have a big to do, but also didn't have a pile of s**t from the reviewers. The worst I've heard about the Move so far is that the launch library sucks. Same for the Kinect, but almost all reviewers I've heard have at least said the tech works and works well... they just aren't excited about it.
I still think MS does a better marketing job. PS3 only seems to seriously court the hardcore gamers even though they try to push the idea the the PS3 only "does everything." It still feels like it's not as accessible to non-gamers. Meanwhile, those core gamers are already playing all of their online games on the 360 and MS is courting the Wii's demographic.
Interesting...
