Of all these three motion controlled peripherals for gaming, the Wiimote, Kinect camera, and Move controller, it's Sony's device that looks the most stylish.

AFTER MICROSOFT’s Kinect and Nintendo 3DS another big hardware product of E3 2010 was on display as Sony announced it’s PlayStation Move.

Of all these three motion controlled peripherals for gaming, the Wiimote, Kinect camera, and Move controller, it's Sony's device that looks the most stylish. The black flashlight handle stick is topped with a ball that can change color, depending on its use in a particular game (the ball is actually soft to the touch, which always seems to surprise people), and it looks a lot more like game hardware than Nintendo's understated white controller or the Kinect's multimedia-looking Webcam.

Apart from the design and looks the Sony PlayStation Move is the best on act as well. It is completely a product that works good enough as a video game peripheral in the motion-controlled gaming. Kinect works good but not as good as it should, it is not as responsive as PlayStation Move is. The games that were tried were not responding accurately to the moves.

In fact Kinect’s best part is the voice recognition, which is not one of the most sought after features from the gamers. It responds and recognises voice commands pretty accurately which makes it useful for home theatre tasks.

Nintendo's Wiimote is physically closer to the PlayStation Move. It works well enough for games such as Wii Fit or for steering a platform game character around, But when it comes to t translating the moves of a character one-to-one on screen it gets problematic.

However the PlayStation Move hardware felt totally connected to the TV screen and never went out of control for that matter. However there was a bit of lag while playing fast paced games but mostly it’s response was great and well controlled.

There are these three hardware available in the market but the question remains that will consumers shell out extra money after they, already, have a gaming console?
