Sony has released a handy comparative breakdown of the PlayStation Move, putting it up against Kinect and the Wii in a variety of categories. Unsurprisingly, Sony has judged that Move beats out the competition. The basic message seems to be that Move does the work of both Kinect and the Wii combined.
Hilariously, Sony adds "built-in rechargeable batteries" as one of its features, and states that Kinect does not have them. Considering Kinect's big gimmick is that the human body is the controller, I'd say that's a little disingenuous. After all, the human body does have rechargeable batteries.
With that in mind, check out the other ways in which Move goes toe-to-toe with its rivals, all according to Sony. You can almost smell the corporate bullshit emanating from your monitor.

I...see what you did there?
How about the fact you don't look like a tit like when you use natal?
No, really? You expected them to come out and say Kinect or Wii are better?
They could've saved a lot of time by printing in large block letters 'MOVE > *' and we wouldn't be here.
I was looking into the Move, until I remembered I already had a Wii. The only use of Move that really interests me is the usage of it in LBP.
You're going PC?
And I love how they completely sidestep the whole price aspect completely. Stay classy Sony.
I think its just the marketing dept's way of including BluRay on the ad.
Core games. At launch, not in 18 months.
Really?
Is Sony implying that they'll provide tabs of LSD with a purchase of the Move?
I know it's all marketing P/R bullshit, but that sort of claim is moving towards the realm of absurd.
I'll be more than happy to see this whole motion control fascination hit the wall and sputter to a limping, quiet death.
I'd much rather an engrossing story with engaging gameplay, even if it's generic, over flailing like a spastic tard and waggle control.
But it looks AAAAWWWWWWWFFFFFUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
I mean im not getting Playstation move but at least it vaguely has games.
But hey! Look at all those HARDCORE GAMES FOR REAL GAMERS!!!
And a controller that fixes your borked shots.
LAWL! That's all the same thing! Plus Kinect doesn't need a controller/batteries.
Minus points for Sony.
Tit for tat.
Oh, wait a minute...that's right...I don't give a shit about either of them and I'm only getting Kinect cause my wife wants it.
Also, good on you, Jim, for pointing out the "rechargeable batteries" thing. I was going to comment on that, then read the rest of the text and saw you beat me to it.
These lists are ridiculous, but honestly, this is far more fair than Microsoft's Kinect comparison.
Never been seen? I take it you've never heard of the EyeToy?
I'll probably just go cold turkey... I'm a daddy of 2 pushing 30 now and barely have time to game as is, sad thing is I buy games like I'm still going strong. I'm not a fan of the way gaming is going.
Until either Kinect or Move get some near 3DS level of games out there's going to be a rough couple months/years of us making fun of the epic amounts of PR bullshit spouted off by Sony or Microsoft. Just calm down and either join in or ignore the Kinect/Move articles.
sony has kung fu rider. end of argument. sony wins.
"70m worlwide sales" - Yes No No
Never talk about the competition. Do not remind the consumer, when you're trying to charm you with your product, that there is competition out there.
Good or bad, advertisement still is advertisement.
