| Cueil said: I think we all can see... do a tweet search for Project Natal and you'll see it's not Microsoft creating the hype anymore. Even this stupid drawn out crap about the hype of Natal is hyping the damn thing. I personally feel it has the potential to change the way I view my games, but it also opens up the door for a host of other things. I also agree that the UI that is there now is just to much for the common users. I think that Microsoft can simplify it drasticly with some question when a user first launches their system. They can take out a bunch of the worthless stuff(worthless to the user not us) and push up front the things that the user would find more interesting. Things like Netflix and the latest movies and tv series could be right up there in front of them... do they game online? No? Take away half of the UI.... |
Not only are internet enabled tvs coming out this yr but motion controlled ones aswell (next yr). See Today show from yesterday.
There is going to be alot of multifunction competition built right into the tvs of tommorow so Netflixs and motion controlled menus will simply not be enough to compete against Hitachi, etc.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
