No matter how you slice it the Wii has the more competitive pricing. But for someone who likes hardcore and casual games the 360 with Kinect makes a compelling proposition especially when 2 player multiplayer comes at no additional cost. The PS3 is undoubtedly the most fully featured but the price disparity between the other systems is huge.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Cultured Vultures: "Sadly, not all hardware is created equal, and no matter how much developers might try, some gaming hardware just fails to hit the mark. We’ve compiled a list of 10 gaming hardware fails, and boy did some fail hard."
I would label the Power Glove, Kinect, and that Tony Hawk skateboard more as hardware addons hardware failure would be like the Virtual Boy and one day Stadia.
The picture should be the 360 RROD. When I think of gaming hardware failures that's what springs to mind. Kinect and it's bundled price tag definitely hobbled the already underpowered Xbox One though for sure so I would give it a close second place.
Lol I had the Atari Jaguar, surprised its "competition" the 3DO isn't on the list too, both as "popular" as each other.
Stadia is a weird one. It hasn’t sold at all well but in terms of how it works it’s still miles ahead of Xcloud in terms of stability and performance. Xcloud is still a way behind and that needs sorting but it will be in time. Stadia for me is one of those things that will go down as a what could have been moments. With better marketing it could have been a roaring success. I still play it and it remains the best place in my opinion to play CyberPunk 2077. Only platform I have played it on without having any issues at all. The tech is great. The concept is fine. Marketing terrible. Shame really.
The Xbox One was Microsoft’s Nintendo Wii U. Undercooked, undersold and just an unholy mess. The thing is with any of these failures is to learn from them and thankfully both Nintendo and Xbox did just that to the benefit of gamers everywhere.
So Kinect is still best value for money, since it has everything in one, just like how the PS3 had the wifi, rechargeable battery etc and the 360 didn't.
Funny how things change.

What does Move have apart from games which work better with a standard controller and have motion tacked on?
You got that harry potter clone and what else? Remember you CAN'T be able to use a standard controller for it to be a Move exclusive game ;)
Why stop at 2 player? Oh that's right Natal doesn't do more. My mistake.
Why on the first PS3 Image bundle does it say $399-$449? You can use SIXAXIS as a Nav. So why add the $50?
And again on the second image it says $99-$150, SO WHAT COST $51, are they just adding the $51 for the sake of it because existing owner already have a sixaxis/dualshock SO they just need the bundle BTW.
And for 2 player you need to add $80 which makes it $179 MAX! Not $210.
Ok, let's say you bought a PS3, just for a moment it came with a sixaxis controller which can be used as a nav controller. Let's do the math once more.
Move bundle $99+EXTRA WAND$50+EXTRA NAV $30=$179
Some game allow you to install them to hard drive so can I add an OPTIONAL 250GIG upgrade to 360S? Or what? The optional bit is a tad unfair seeing as how far is too far, I won't buy 2 wands, just the bundle and that's it for me $99. I don't think you should count a 2 wand without accounting for a 3RD player.
So both ps3 move and kinect are around the same price .
Only if you want to play with someone .
Actually no release game especially the 2 and 4 player games needs a nav or DSC. So for now a basic 2 player package for the Move is 2 wands and a cam:$130 and a 4 player needs only a wand and a cam: $80.00.And for me who has basically everything: $50.00, not even the price of a ordinary game.You people need to go back to school to learn how to add. And lets not forget that Move games are $40.00 instead of $60.00 like the Kinect. Microsoft butt kissers always for get that.
Well that settles that.
