19 titles before December rolls around
The full list of US Kinect launch games spilled the beans on the 17 titles available between the sensor's launch on November 4th and the beginning of advent, and now Microsoft has come through with the equivalent list for Europe.
Early in Kinect's life – so early it was only known as Project Natal, in fact – there were rumours floating around of the unit costing just £50, or around $80.

It's the showdown that gamers and industry insiders alike are anticipating to determine the future of PS3 and Xbox 360: Kinect vs. Move. "You are the Controller" vs. "It Only Does Everything", "No Buttons" vs. "Yay Buttons" and so on.

So that’s what we love – it’s not just an investment in this generation, it’s building the next one too. The next generation of consoles will automatically use all of these motion-sensing innovations and so a lot more people will be able to play with the next generation of consoles.Do you agree that Move and Kinect can share global power with one major territory each? If so, do you think Move will dominate in North America or Europe? Let us know!
