"The figures are in and it seems Kinect is dominating the market with 8 million sales over Move’s 4 million, despite the PS3 motion controller having a full month’s head start. But it’s early yet, so we look at the year ahead to see what’s in store for Kinect and Move."
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.

In the very cnet article Sony said sold to retailers 4.1 mil and MS said 2.5 sold to customers.
Why does wach company keep flip flopping stats just to fit the current PR hype? Sold-through, Sold in, Shipped, and Sold... all to mask true figures. This is why sales should NEVER matter to gamers its ALL PR talk.
Since this article belives the hype.....in one month (DEC) MS sold 5.5 mil kinects and Sony didnt sell 1 move controller.....ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
Leave the sales games to the corporate guys, with the charts and graphs
NowGamer is the gonnorrhea of videogame journalism. You guys make HHG look like a genius.
All I hope for is that Move works as well as it looks for Socom and Killzone.
lol i loved how fanboys said no one would buy kinect and its selling twice as much!
