US giant has stepped up to back to win the wars this Christmas.

GameStop's Bob McKenzie told Eurogamer that Kinect is looking much healthier than despite Sony's controller having a two-month head start.

McKenzie explained: "I'd say right now Microsoft's Kinect is looking to be the winner of the two for us. We're very happy with the sell through over the weekend. It has met our expectations and actually exceeded our initial forecasts."

He continued: "I do have them both obviously and the Move bundle is a great option but I knew for my with an eight-year-old daughter and ten-year-old boy that Kinect was really going to be the thing that was more geared towards my household."
