PS Move and Kinect = Sega 32X

[Balasubbie]

Just interrupting this thread to say that this is fucking brilliant. Now, as you were.

nope. Move and Kinect < Sega 32X

-neither has given us the best arcade ports of this gen, the 32X did in its (short) time
-neither has really interesting exclusives which MUST be played with that hardware. The 32X has several (Kolibri, Chaotix, Motherbase 2000, etc.)
-neither has any shmups or fighters, the 32X had several of each.
-the 32X Star Wars game is legions better than what I've seen from the upcoming Kinect Star Wars game

oh, you mean from a marketing and sales perspective? Well in that case

Move and Kinect > Sega 32X

-Kinect had sold over 10 million units by March 2011. Likely they are approaching 15 million soon. It has added to the install base and been a boost to their bottom line. There are around 40 games for it, with another 30 or so planned.
-Move has sold close to 9 million units. It has helped Sony's bottom line as well, and the amount of games for it are comparable to the Kinect.
-the 32X sold about 650,000 units by Spring 2005, when the Saturn launched. It has less than 40 games.

So I guess the oXbox is coming out this year? Better pre-order.

heh, 1995.

Does my Sega 32X analogy seem reasonable in your opinion?

Move and Kinect are more akin to an alternate reality in which the Casio Loopy was successful.

And everyone uses an Activator.

Although ironically, SegaNET and XBand really did forsee the future.

I thought that Kinect sales have been HUGE and really bolstered the xbox360 sales. Am I wrong?

I don't know how popular Move is, but Kinect is definitely not a 32X.....

The only Kinect exclusive I have is Kinectimals. Good clean fun. And i find Child of Eden much more enjoyable with Kinect. I have a few fun Move games but nothing that is greatly enhanced by it. Perhaps i should try a FPS with it.
