It's been difficult telling which console is winning the next gen battle of motion gaming ever since the NPD Group stopped publishing sales figures. Although a small sample size, I may have found my answer during a recent trip to Fry's (electronics store).
On my way to the checkout, I began noticing a crowd form in front of a large flatscreen TV near the video game department. Being the overly-curious guy that I am, I made a quick detour to see what all of the fuss was about. What I found was two young girls having a dance battle in Dance Central. People of all ages and demographics were mesmerized, not wanting to take their eyes off the action.
Xbox Kinect
Once I made my way through the crowd, I ran into the PS3 Move booth where two lonely people were trying to play a game. No crowd, no excitement, and probably nothing being sold.
PS3 Move
It seems as if the Kinect has landed the first punch but the fight has just begun. Will the Move have a must-have game in 2011 that pulls some market share away from the Kinect? Only time will tell.

- I’ve been a gamer for over 15 years, but more recently became interested in the industry. I’ve grown tired of the same-old, same-old game review sites where I have to sieve through piles of fluff in order to get to the meat and potatoes. Do people really care about marshmallows in the shape of game characters? I sure as hell don’t. That’s why I created this blog –It’s a place where gamers can get important news, reviews, and information about the games they care about - a place where I can express my opinions – and hopefully a place where I can share unique personal experiences untold by the larger gaming sites. I'll focus exclusively on console games; mostly Xbox 360 and PS3.
