Profit has been the name of the game for decades... well centuries.

 

And that game is Call of duty.

And we all have always dreamt of a gaming world in which all games tried to be like Call of Duty, right ?

RIGHT ?

your high go home! no but seriously, people arent going to shell out 400 plus for a kinect 2, the Kinect wasnt that popular. THis isnt going to be the Wii not even close

non gamers could do all that crap better on stuff they most likely own.

I agree with everything else.

The Kinect was extremely popular. Kinect is probably the most successful add-on ever, it moved a lot of software, gave the 360 a casual userbase, and boosted console sales. It was a bigger success than most imagined and people are still buying it. It didn't just fade into obscurity like other add-ons we saw this generation.

Dude, look at the games in your sig. You don't think there is a pursuit of profit there?

Don't be hatin' because Call of Duty: Ghosts will make more money than all of those games combined.

The kinect was never popular, it was a firework. There is a difference.

Marketing made it out to seem like it was something for the Star Trek universe but it never ended up delivering any kind of solid gaming experience.

The bubble burst.

I was talking about economics. It is all about the profit and it has been for centuries. You can't argue with that.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

I hope it does well, we need competition. But i'm not sure if it can, if the hardcore don't buy into it why would the casual lot buy it?

So how's the weather in bizarro world?

Sold over 20 million units, still sells, and it isn't popular? GTFO!

Yes, many of the things they are showing are rather neat, useful and helpful. Yesterday, I realize I could have used Xbox One's features - I tend to be doing thing with my hands and having music or tv one when I am working. I wanted to switch the channel, and it would been great to just tell it to switch.

I think the interface will have broad appeal.



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned.

Seriously, dude ? How about you take a look at the games in my sig. A damn good one and tell me how many of those follow the same old copy-paste, safe, do it by the numbers milking till it's dead strategy that games like Halo and COD followed this generation.

Does shadow fall look ANYTHING like past killzone games ? Have you EVER seen a game like Beyond or Knack ? Did GT happen to have 4 titles like Forza or 5 like Halo did this generation ?

I understand you are in the corner trying to defend the one but don't come to me telling me how different iterations of the SAME GO'DAMN game is what I should be happy with. It is really f****** patronizing.

How's the weather in the land* where the grasp on the english language is fairly lose ?

Sold is in the past tense. The bubble also also belongs in the past. Impulse purchases based on bs marketing that never delivered any solid gaming experience also belong in the past.
