Pachter Talks Kinect, Wii, Move Value Comparisons

Following on from the post earlier where Microsoft claimed that Kinect offered better value than Wii or Sony Move, infamous games analyst Michael Pachter seems to agree with us that it probably doesn’t.

For new Xbox gamers the bundle is pretty good value, but for those of us who already own 360′s, the Kinect stand-alone price seems pretty high. What do you think? let us know in the comments.

“We disagree…and think that standalone Kinect, at $149, is not as good a value as a standalone Wii at $199, which comes with two games (instead of one) and a much deeper library of content. On a bundled basis, we agree that Kinect plus the Arcade 360 is a compelling value, at only $100 more than a Wii bundle, but with the deep library of Xbox 360 games available, plus a robust multiplayer experience and the opportunity for value added Xbox Live services.”
