I think Kinect and PS Move look really stupid.

I'm really looking forward to not buying either of these. This motion stuff is SO gimmicky right now.

... unless of course one of them proves over the years to be really awesome, which I don't think will happen.

Looking at both the betas as they were being displayed, it appears that the PS3's Move looks really good for 1st person gaming. I can see other avenues of gaming platforms where this would work well.

The demo for Kinect wasn't all that spectacular. Using your avatar to paint on a wall with various gestures and painting methods didn't make me a firm believer in this technology.

However, without a truly immersive game play experience, I don't see either of these being a killer addition to the respective platform. By immersive, I'm referring to immersive visuals, immersive fully surround sound, possibly tactical response / haptics, and even venturing as far as sense of taste or smell (note that all senses should be isolated for each player).

Most players are content with their dual analogue controllers, although coming from the mouse & keyboard camp, prefer the extra inputs and macro capabilities given with more buttons. To each their own, though.

SIDE NOTE
Is there any chance of adding a [ code ] block to this, with possibly even syntax formatting? Using [ quote ] sucks:

let foo = String.toCharArray("hi");
