Wii or Kinect or Move?

If you had the choice which one? Wii, Kinect or Move?

I had a Wii on launch day, sold it after never using it for 2yrs. I think thats mainly because its more of a social console and I didn't have people to come round and play on it with. Now I have a gf who likes, at least, the boxing game

Kinect, impressive stuff. But theres nothing really out for it right now.

Move... just don't hear anyone talking about it.

I use the Wii pretty much daily now. Spent a while on the shelf but got dusted off when I got some fitness & yoga 'games'. Also love the Just Dance series. And it comes out whenever anyone comes over for a weekend/after dinner etc. Still a lot of fun to be had with multiplayer Mario Kart or Lego Star Wars etc.

I love the Kinect usability, but as you say, there's not a lot out for it at the moment.

Can there be a choice for 'Not bother and spend the money on some decent normal games'? I want to pick that one

I've got like a year backlog of decent games to finish

If you have to pick now I'd say get a kinect

petemc · 14-12-2010, 23:15

Really? Even though it's basically just one game, which is basically just Wii sports?

leowyatt · 14-12-2010, 23:53

yes because not having to hold a controller to me makes a big difference. You already have a 360 so I'd have thought it would be cheaper to buy the kinect that buy another wii

petemc · 14-12-2010, 23:58

Do you have to stand up for all the kinect games? Xbox is in the bedroom.

Still not sure that Kinect for one game is worth it over a Wii and all the best of Nintendo. Hmmm.

You need a lot of space for it supposedly, a couple of people at work were moaning that their lounges were only just big enough to not be bashing into things
