Question
What are my options for motion control on the three consoles? What are the pros and cons of each motion control system on the Wii, Xbox 360, and Playstation 3?
Answer
The real question you want to ask yourself is "what kind of games do I want to play." That question affects the "best" choice pretty heavily.
Hopefully, the below list will give a better overview to help your choice.
The Nintendo Wii
- Largest current library
- cheapest standalone console
- You can acquire controllers (wii-motes) or even wii motion-plus versions packaged as parts of certain games.
Playstation Move
- Most expensive controllers
- Most expensive console
- requires peripheral (Playstation Eye)
- Small game library, (some current playstation games getting retroactive support)
Microsoft Kinect
- most expensive peripheral (the Kinect itself)
- excellent non-kinect 3rd party support (you may buy a kinect, but at the end of the day, you can fall back on Halo, if that's your kit)
- no extra costs in controllers
- small game library, few (none?) "hardcore" games with kinect support.
- Milo was just plain creepy.
