Michael Pacther, som er analytiker for Wedbush Securities, har sammenlignet salget i USA mellem de to bevægelsesprodukter, henholdsvis Xbox 360 Kinect og PlayStation 3 Move. Michael Pacther fortæller til IndustryGamers.com, at Xbox 360 Kinect trumfer sine konkurrenter betydeligt med en stigning i salget på hele 27 %, mens de konkurrerende produkter, PlayStation 3 Move og Wii, til sammenligning kun er steget henholdsvis 12 % og 14 %. Dermed konkluderer han også, at Xbox 360 Kinect softwaren med lethed har klaret sig bedre end PlayStation 3 Move. Han forventer yderligere, at efterspørgslen på Xbox 360 fortsat vil forblive større end de øvrige konsoller – blandt andet på grund af Kinects popularitet.

“Under one-fifth of PS3 sales included bundles with Sony’s Move controller, suggesting another modest month (we have chosen not to subscribe to peripheral data). Over 2/3 of Xbox 360 sales included bundles with Microsoft’s Kinect peripheral, as Xbox 360 Kinect console bundles again outsold PS3 Move console bundles by over 5:1,”

“We note that the top selling Kinect software titles easily outsold their Move counterparts.”

“We expect demand for the Xbox 360 to remain stronger than the other consoles due to the popularity of Kinect. We expect Wii and PS3 hardware sales to continue to decline (despite February’s up month for both) in the first part of 2011,” he said. “Without further price cuts, we expect hardware sales to be down in 2011, and we think that the console manufacturers will position cuts around the E3 Expo in early June.”
