I'm not saying the Kinect isn't a great piece of technology, it is by all means, but i can't shake that "EyeToy" feeling off me when i see it. Nintendo's threat are both Sony and Microsoft.  If Nintendo stops putting out high rated games even for a few months, your gonna see their sales take a dive. Anyways, both Move and Kinect are in their early stages, we just have t wait and see before we start throwing around any kind of awards.

Its not an Eyetoy. The Eyetoy only has one eye. Kinect has three eyes so it can see into your soul.



Tease.

Lol, I saw one at Gamestation the other day, I must admit it is ALOT smaller than I thought it'd be.. Which makes it all the more interesting if I am honest.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Time magazine gave it to the mobile incubator made out of spare car parts for premature babies. As for Kinect, I think naming it as the most innovative technology of the year is a bit...premature.

Since when did the American press become so xenophobic? Kinda sad, really, :P.

Oh, and I can't believe people consider Kinect and Move as "threats". If Nintendo felt threatened, it would cut Wii's price to $99 and introduce a redesign called Wii Plus with a built-in motion detecting camera and HD, xD.

I hope it does well as I'd rather MS not bomb on the thing and then spend the next few years being overly conservative

Let me guess, everyone who hasn't tried Kinect things it's not deserved. Everyone who has thinks it is deserved.


I tried kinect, and I would say it doesn't deserve it. It isn't hammered out as it could have been.

No,I haven't tried it and I'm in the thinks it's deserved category. lol

Actually if you read this dude's article he comes off really fanboyish towards microsoft. Seriously didn't think that professional journalism would hire such people...I just remember his other articles, he seems to really dislike the wii and even to certain extent the ps3.

(This is excluding this article, I am not going to say what deserves the technology of the year, whether it be kinect or something else.)

More and more articles like this will start to take its toll on Wii sales. Maybe only minimally the remainder of this year, but defintely next year.



Its libraries that sell systems not a single game.
