Console Wars – Move vs. Kinect: Precision & Accuracy (Round 2)

Move vs. Kinect is the focus of Console Wars Season 2, and in this second round, LP focuses on the precision and accuracy of the two controllers.

The Sony Move and Microsoft Kinect were released within just a few months of one another, and that immediately set up a Move vs. Kinect argument amongst gamers. While the first round, which was all about hardware, went to the Kinect, now we’re moving into something that could be considered monumentally more important: Just how accurate are these controllers?

While the PlayStation Move kept the same basic design concepts of the Nintendo Wii, Sony had a few years to work on perfecting the accuracy of the system. On the other hand, the Kinect is a totally new concept that tracks your entire body in a three dimensional space, could Microsoft get the results up to a level that would satisfy most gamers?

The Microsoft Kinect did win round 1, which doesn’t say anything to how round 2 will play out. We’re getting into the guts of the gaming experience these controllers off this time around, and while design is always a nice addition to any device, how it performs is a much better measure to whether or not you should be purchasing one.

Who do you think will win this round? After this, it’s four more rounds before we crown a champ, so be sure to tune in for them all. Which side are you on?
