Nintendo changed the face of gaming when it unleashed the Wii way back in the winter of 2006, pulling in multi-generational horde of new gamers, eager to shell out for the big N's pared-down, accessible fun. Skip forward to the present day, and in the run-up to Christmas both Microsoft and Sony are hawking their own nifty motion-gaming wares -- Kinect for Xbox 360 and PlayStation Move respectively. But which of these three motion marvels deserves your hard-earned pennies this year? We've played extensively with all three and present our findings here.
Nintendo Wii
When it launched four years ago, the Wii was lambasted for its bizarre remote-style controllers and frankly hilarious name. An astonishing 74 million sales later however, and the Wii has not only snuck into just about every living room in the western world, it's made Nintendo enough money to purchase the entire solar system. Affordable, and so simple to use that your Nan could humiliatingly trash your high scores in under five minutes, the Wii is the motion-gaming system to beat.
Microsoft Xbox Kinect
If Nintendo shook things up by removing most of the buttons from its controller, Microsoft has gone one step further by scrapping the controller altogether. Kinect is powered entirely by your own body -- monitored by a sophisticated array of cameras mounted in a black bar that sits under your telly, you'll be flailing your way up the leaderboards in no time at all. Kinect doesn't hit the UK until 10 November, but we've given the hardware a thorough test.
Sony PlayStation Move
Sony's motion-gaming effort takes the idea the Wii made popular -- waggling a remote -- and skews it in a new direction. Move operates slightly differently to the Wii and like Kinect is able to deliver motion-gaming thrills in glorious HD. The PlayStation is also probably in the best position to bring motion-gaming to the hardcore market,
something that could potentially prove very lucrative.
