Are The Kinect And Move Investments Paying Off?

by Andrew Reiner on Nov 28, 2010 at 05:54 AM

Microsoft views Kinect as a new console. Sony continues to pump out software that supports or only works with Move. Both of these peripherals would appear to have staying power. But as video game history has shown, almost every peripheral vanishes within a year or two of its release. A lack of software support is almost always the culprit.

I'm assuming many of you have invested in at least one of these devices. Are you still using it frequently, or has it already started to collect dust? Looking ahead, do you see your investment paying off? Are you confident that Microsoft and Sony will continue to support these devices? And lastly, if an upcoming game gives you the option to use a conventional controller or Kinect or Move, which way do you think you'll lean?
