Sony UK Says Microsoft Kinect Lacks 'Legs'
Head of Sony Computer Entertainment in Europe, Andrew House, has taken the American route to dealing with the opposition: slagging it off. This time it's Move vs Kinect.

Mr House explains to MCV that, " (PlayStation) Move has found an easier success in Europe because of the heritage SCEE has built through SingStar and EyeToy. And it has got legs – it’s got lots of other opportunities. Whereas, controller-less gaming (like Kinect) has limits, as we saw with EyeToy.”

Ouch. However, Mr H' also has some positive things to say about PlayStation Vita. Currently priced at £229, that price will, "build rapid momentum to the device."

Yes, 'to the device'.

A price that would 'build even more rapid momentum to the device' would be sub £200 - closer to the 3DS and more in line with American prices.

But no, here's to the UK getting screwed and Sony's console flagging because it's too expensive!

Here's a tip Sony... when you can buy a PS3 for less than your trying to charge for a PSP, you might just have got your pricing wrong! Would love a PSV but just cant justify that price.

I dunno, Sony seem to enjoy sticking a stick up their arse then complaining about it.
