It’s the classic Shakespearian story - a new videogame system introduces motion control to the masses and its competitors rush to copy it. So, in these tense moments before launch, what’s more popular - Sony’s Move or Microsoft’s Kinect? According to EEDAR, the answer is yes.

Based on their polling, Move and Kinect actually have equal resonance with the gaming public.

Explains an EEDAR analyst, “Whilst the Kinect had more absolute interest among IGN viewers, on a relative basis (by weighting the install bases of both hardware consoles - the Xbox 360 having a larger base) both Move and Kinect showed near equal popularity.”

So, what’s tickling your fancy right now? Sony’s fancy colored controllers? Or the prospect of playing a game on Kinect hands free?
