Xbox 360 Kinect sell more than Playstation Move on this holiday season

OR

As inform in IDC research firm, seems that new haming controller from Xbox 360 called Kinect outsell compare with Playstation Move from Sony, where 2.5 million to 3 million Kinect controller sold and Playstation move sold arround 2 million until 2.5 million. 

Kinect standalone sold around $150 and Playstation Move sold arround $50 and already available on store since September 2010. With this price differences, seems that price is not main concern for some gamer and i would like to said "new experience in gaming" become main reason.

Also inform by Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter told CNET in an interview, said that KInect will hit 5 million unit sold until end of this year whereas  Sony will not so lucky Playstation Move.

Sony again noted its sales of about 1 million Move units in the United States and Latin America during the product's first month of availability. Going forward, based on the fact that the Kinect was released just last week and will outsell Move this year, according to Pachter, those sales could be eclipsed quite quickly by Microsoft's motion-gaming peripheral. And much of that success is due to Microsoft's marketing efforts, Pachter says.

"Microsoft has a lot more promotion going on (tie-ins with Kellogg's and with Burger King), and I think that they will spend a lot more to make sure the public is aware," Pachter said. "The other thing Microsoft has going for it is that their redesigned Xbox 360 is an upgrade option for the installed base, and once a 360 owner decides to upgrade, the cost of Kinect is only $100. I think you'll see more than half of Kinect units sold as part of a console bundle."

Last sales comparison that I would like to mention is from research form Ipson that Kinect from Microsoft will be "big winner" compare with Playstation Move

Kinect motion tracking system from Microsoft for the Xbox 360 will be “the big game winner for U.S. 2010 holiday season”, managing to edge out the PlayStation Move system from Sony.

    

Ipsos also found that the overall buzz for Kinect is higher than for the Move, most likely because the no controller concept of the Microsoft device is seen as more revolutionary than the Move, which still has buttons and a wand like hand held physical presence.

But from all research firm and analyst, it is back to gamer to decide will buy controller and console type for this year holiday season...Happy Holiday!
