Both Move and Kinect use a camera based system. I could see a Move wand type controller working very well with the Kinect system. This way you could get the accuracy needed for games like fps or sports games where you use a racket, as well as full body tracking. Do you think we will see such a device from MS in the future ?

Well with all the copying that is occuring in the motion sensing wars i dont see it as that far fetched. They will likely make something of the sort down the line.

Definitely it will be called Kinect 2 and it will cost $200. While lems are going to claim it is the most original and incredible thing ever done in the history of gaming.

Sony was initially going to do that with Move (Move + 3D camera) but it would cost way to much.

I so hope they do, it'll open for many game genres which have been hampered by the current controllers.

Kinect it self is accurate enough for almost all genre out there the end result depends on the skills used in coding the software for example compare the accurate dance central to the laggy fighters uncaged you'll know what am talking about. Kinect will surely have hybrid games that requires kinect and regular xbox 360 controller not any special kind of controller. The strong point of kinect for me is the price point because 1 kinect $150 will connect the whole players in a room while 4 moves $50 each and a ps eye $40 will connect 4 players in a room. Hybrid games will only require xbox 360 controller for character movement & maybe for shooting also while kinect will be used for every other thing in the game. M$ are very cautious with pricing so they will not want to ruin kinect marketing with another addon controller like the move because of the overall price will required for 4 players will be bizzare.

i think ur hyping it a little too much. the only platform i can see having less boundaries when it comes to developing games for is the mighty pc, and even that i wudnt say is "limitless"

The whole point of Kinect is YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER. I don't think it would sound as good if it was "YOU ARE THE CONTROLLER...ALONG WITH THIS WAND SHAPED PERIPHERAL" Pretty sure that would sound really wrong :P

They could but that wasn't the point of Kinect.
