Sony Respond To Kinect Comparison Charts

Yesterday we published an article showing a Microsoft chart comparing the price of Kinect, Move and the Wii.

Now it’s time for Sony. Dual Shockers have got their hands on a features comparison chart taken from a media kit at the Sony Media Holiday Preview Event in New York this week.

As you would expect this chart does have a slight bias towards the PS3 and Move. A good example of this is the section “Secondary Controller” where the Kinect column simply says “No” rather than “N/A” which would probably be a fairer representation.

It also lists the PlayStation Eye camera as having voice command included. This may be technically possible but I’m yet to see this being used, and based on Microsoft’s E3 presentation Kinect will include voice command out of the box.

I don’t think I need to pick too many holes in this as I’m sure you will all do that in the comments section below.

  1. Fair enough, though I think listing kinect as having “no built in rechargeable battery” is pretty sneaky.

  2. Funny how Sony haven’t included any prices. I think they know that they can’t compete with the Wii for price, but can for the capabilities of Move.

  3. Hmmm no pricing. Very interesting. I guess unless they cheated and added a Wii balance board then they just cant come out on top of the Wii, even though they offer a lot more than the Wii it never looks good to cost more. Maybe the no pricing is also to do with Kinect only very recently being confirmed price wise and they didnt want to risk being wrong on the Internet and then armageddon breaking lose on them.

  4. Even if I had a 360 as well as a PS3, I’d still go for Move as it appeals to me more and because I have absolutely no desire to even try Kinect.

  5. Buttons: Yes | Yes | No
    Why even list the other features?

  6. I would buy MOVE because i have a PS3
    If i had an xbox i doubt it will be working

  7. All this comparing is really starting to blur the facts of the different control mechanisms….

    It is just to bad that developers for PS3 don’t use the standard libraries for voice-recognition, head-tracking and face-recognition for the PSEye that are available.
