| Squilliam said: I wonder if we're going to see a camera array/game bundle ala Wii Sports/Wii Play for $60 come the next E3? I wonder if they will also start to bundle this with every single Xbox 360 SKU permamently? It makes sense because it adds to their media functionality and gives them a unique selling point which is different to what is available on the PS3 (Finally!) Unfortunately this new information kinda kills my other thread about Wireless!

In what bizarre world does the 360 desperately need unique selling points to differentiate itself from the PS3?
Let's look at the term "selling point"... selling... as in, to SELL. This very website provides plenty of data on console sales. The 360 already has a unique selling point over the PS3: it sells and the PS3 doesn't.
A camera + game would be different (I'm skeptical of even that), but I'm going to say there's a 0% chance this thing is bundled with every 360 SKU, because Microsoft enjoy making money.
I don't even feel like debating this any further, so I'll just bet that this won't happen and we'll see who is right. Same goes for the redesigned "slim" 360 with a slot load DVD drive and built-in wireless...
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
