More and more good news about how awesome Kinect is, huh? :)
These things could change by the time it comes out, perhaps, sure, but it's pretty bad press at the moment... and pretty bad, if they end up being real.

And woah, it's the same for Move! The camera can only see four devices, so that means that if a game uses both the main and Navigation (Sony Nunchuck) parts, as a great many titles will, it's limited to two players only. Only games that are remote only support 4 players on Move.
I wonder if Nintendo will point these limitations out...

Yeah, it's a limitation of the system... Both are software issues, though I don't know how soon, or if, they'll be resolved.

Unrealistic? They've just got girly-man noodle arms.
There are clearly weaknesses in all 3 of these systems. The big question is how well they'll cope and if their strengths are still strong enough to be worth the money.

Considering that neither showed off any interesting titles, I'd be inclined to say that, no, they're not worth the money.

Bah, Sorcery looked interesting.

Predictable problem. I mean, how is the system supposed to know for sure who's playing... that has got to be difficult. Obviously a pretty huge problem playability-wise, though. :)
