PlayStation Move demos impress as Sony disses Kinect. The PlayStation Move hits store shelves on September 17, and Sony is hard at work convincing gamers that it's something they need. The company has been aggressively touring the different trade and community events, showing the press and gamers a series of tech demos in order to highlight what the hardware can do. A new video with some of these demos has been posted to the PlayStation Blog. (We had a chance to test-drive some of this content at E3, and it's an impressive use of the technology.) This isn't smoke and mirrors, and anyone who has had a meeting with Sony in the past year has likely seen these demos and played with them in person. Yes, I now want a Wolverine-style Move game in a very real way.

These videos also show off a major advantage the Move has over the Kinect. That's not to say that Sony thinks the Move is going to explode out of the gate.
