Im amazed at some of the reactiuons here...

kinect delivered BIG TIME

kinect games looked v good

the big 3 games blockbuster games looked amazing

COD has timed exclusivity for 3 years on DLC

there was an unannounced crytek exclusive

and a new console... with a bigger HDD and built in wifi for the same price available TOMORROW.

come on fellas... get over the bias and admit that was a good conference.

 

I know it seem's no matter what some companies do they cannot seem to get any prop's from some gamer's.

I for one though Microsoft had a pretty good conference.

the fact that the redesign goes on sale this week is great, it will spurn new sales..

though as for :

"kinect delivered BIG TIME"

well I for one agree it was pretty darn good, some would disagree, but one of the thing's i like and I think that will go overwith pretty big is the dance instruction function. My Wife would go nuts over that

I think myself that is going to get big interest, because it's got the real dance move's in it and it teaches you those.

that is pretty good in my opinion.

My almost 3 year old son ran over during the animals game showing and said "Daddy I wanna play that, I wanna play with that kitty"

Win = MSFT

My wife will love the workout game, my daughter will love the dance thing from Harmo and we can all play the goofy looking games together. They seem to have hit the spot they were aiming for with Natal Kinetic.

that I think is the point, Microsoft's Kinect was not just about game's , it's also about getting more people connected over the internet. you know many people in the US do not even use their PC web cam's to make video conference call's to friend's and family, even though it would save quite a bit than long distance phone charges.

You be quite suprised at the study about that very thing they did just a year ago at stanford. the great thing about this is it get's people who never though how to connect to web conference with a web cam with the PC to be able to do it with easy setup and usability.

that I think is what makes Kinect pretty darn good. Hell Even Sony know's what great technology is in the Kinect camera. Sony even though about using it themselves. yes it's expensive but i think it's worth it.
