Tech Expert Claims PS Move is More Precise Than Kinect
Sony’s motion controller, PlayStation Move, is touted as the most precise motion controller on the market with true 1:1 motion tracking, while Microsoft’s motion technology, Kinect – which was previously known as Natal – takes a different approach with their technology by having no controller whatsoever. Now, a tech expert claims that the PlayStation Move is indeed more precise than Kinect.
BBC technology expert, Rory Cellan-Jones, said:
I was not quite convinced that Microsoft’s technology would deliver for hard-core gamers. It seemed to work well on fun Wii-like games where you didn’t need too much precision – I’m not so sure how whether it would deliver on a first-person shooter.
He continued when comparing the PlayStation Move to Kinect:
I’ve had a go on Sony’s Move motion control system, which is unveiled on Tuesday. Sony’s solution is much less radical. It has retained the controller, now adorned with glowing spheres which interact with a sensor unit on the television.
This makes the whole experience less physical than with Kinect, but it also delivers a lot more precision. Sony showed us a table tennis game which seemed to mimic the real thing much more closely than I have seen elsewhere.
The PlayStation Move will be showcased at Sony’s press conference tomorrow so expect more information regarding the motion controller come Tuesday.

Well, we always knew it was more accurate didn’t we? It has more technology in it. Not only does it have the camera but it has the wands too with all the sensors inside it.
Hmm, this is interesting. Can’t wait to use PS Move
I think XBOX will wn this, though… Unfortunately… Their install base is huge, and, although the Kinect unit cost more, if you can play up to four people at once with one kinect, it will be “cheaper” in the eyes of consumers… four Move wands + two “sub controllers” to cover all your bases with Move… Even if they’re $30/ piece, that’s pricey… And a lot of controllers… If you already have (in my case) 4 DS3s, then 6 more controllers gets to be a bit much… Oh, and the eyeToy?
We’re already learned that most consumer don’t care about precision or quality (ie Wii), and if they already have the notion that PS3 is more expensive, they won’t care to do the math… They’ll just label “Move” too pricey for them and get their Kinect…
Want.
Yeah, I’m pretty certain of this, a controller is the way to go until camera’s and console power is high enough to provide a truly accurate experience
accuracy and feedback is every to me when it comes to hardcore game. The MOVE deliver both
hello …
I want to MOVE … in 3D
4 people in front of a camera, thew software behind must be working quite hard for the xbox to reproduce it on screen … i want to see it in a serious game.
cheers!
Nh, sorry .. btw .. KB’s pic rocks
taz you seem to be talking like a casual wii-er. is that why you think the old eyetoy/webcam will out do it because there install base doesn’t have half a mind to see a rip?
