Motion gaming is the new face of interactive video game action, and there’s no going back.  First introduced by the Nintendo Wii, motion gaming has revolutionized the way we play, the way we exercise, the way we spend time together as a family.  Both Sony and Microsoft have built upon the foundation that Nintendo laid in motion gaming, and have taken it even further with the recent release of both the PlayStation 3 Move and the Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect.  The game has just begun.

The PlayStation 3 Move is very similar to the Nintendo Wii.  It uses a motion controller that allows an interactive gaming experience that immerses players into their gaming action.  While the concept mimics the Wii closely, the PS3’s motion sensor technology is more sensitive, providing a greater level of precision and accuracy than the Wii.  While PS3 fans love the Move and hail it as superior to the Wii, there is no denying that Nintendo has the most extensive array of family friendly gaming options and fitness themed games.  We do expect that the PS3 will great expand their motion gaming repertoire, but expect that it will more than likely be geared to serious gamers rather than a family friendly platform. The PS3 Move comes bundled with the Sports Champion PS3 Move game, Move Controller, and Move Eye Camera.

Where motion gaming really takes a leap ahead is with the Microsoft Kinect, a motion sensor add-on to the Xbox 360 that provides a completely new and revolutionary motion gaming experience.  Using advanced motion sensor technology, as well as facial and voice recognition software, the Kinect provides a controller free, interactive gaming extravaganza that is unlike anything that has come before it.  Players become the controller, and through motion and voice commands, becomes completely immersed in the exhilarating Kinect video games.  Because of the interactive nature of the Kinect gaming platform, all Kinect games end up being physically beneficial, and they also have a complete line of fitness themed Kinect games for those wanting to turn their fitness into fun!  The Kinect motion sensor device comes bundled with the Kinect Adventures game, and the Kinect motion sensor.
