Racing games:

Command and Conquer

With the kinect or move, how are you supposed to play these games well?
How do you plan to do a dragon punch (Shoryuken) without a controller? How about blocking?
Neither is going to be able to tell the pitch of your foot for the "accelerator" pedal if it changes by a degree or two, so you'll mostly have a couple levels of throttle and won't be able to upshift/downshift with any sort of speed as they recognize you going forward and back only.
Unless you have a touch screen TV, you'll never be able to play a RTS even 1/10th as well as with a keyboard/mouse combo. You need so many hot keys that there's just no way in hell you'll be able to have fun with a RTS game on these.
Finally comes FPS. How would you reload? How would you go prone? how would you aim? How about grenade? turn on your flash light/laser equipped to the gun? how about calling in an air strike for CoD? etc. etc. etc.
Kinect and Move will be great for relaxing/party games, but not much else. It'll be a fun "accessory" but you can bet that they're not going to move away from controllers in the future.
They only game that I've heard about that would be fun to be competitive on is the Playstation 3's ping pong game for the Move.

The support is going to be so limited that this is going to get no use.
