A psychic Octopus has predicted that Playstation Move will be the best selling gaming accessory over Kinect this holiday season.
After the death of the FIFA World Cup psychic Paul the octopus, online shopping comparison site, Kelkoo, have employed the future-seeing sea creature’s only surviving relative to make some Christmas predictions of his own.
Ollie the octopus was given the opportunity to decide the fate on this holiday’s console wars: Microsoft’s Kinect motion sensor or Sony’s Playstation Move wand.
Both choices were placed in his tank and it didn’t take long before Ollie drifted over to Playstation Move. Maybe he was worried Kinect wouldn’t be able to track all eight of his legs.
Marketing manager at Kelkoo, Joe Cross, said working with the octopus was fun and that they couldn’t think of a better way to predict the UK best sellers this Christmas.
"Working with Ollie the octopus was a bundle of fun and given his psychic lineage, we couldn’t think of a better way to predict the UK Christmas best-sellers this year," said Cross. "From the X Factor, to Hollywood, to Silicon Valley, Ollie’s discerning tentacles know no bounds and his mystic insight into which products are set to sink or swim this Christmas are certainly set to add spice to the sales race over the festive period."
Playstation Move is on shelves now.
Kinect launched on Xbox 360 this week.
