After 95 pages about the conference. I must declare that this has to be one of the best conferences ever. The division of dispute between XBox fans is priceless. Let alone the ghastly shocks and unbelievable thoughts that many curios other console owners think. This was fantastic.
MS conference was fine. It targeted an audience to expand the sales. So why does MS Fail, but Kinect succeeds? Kinect is a fantastic piece of hardware design. It is a piece of hardware that could literary change our lives in regards to home entertainment. That however is only the hardware. The real question is.
How is MS Fucking it up? There is a right time and place for everything. MS has decided to take an excellent tech to try a heavy handed approach by forcing Kinect as a 360 device. That's the fail number One. Kinect should not be limited to the 360, but should be a gateway for all devices. This forceful nature will only cause Kinect to stumble and likely not become the world changer it can become.
Fail Number Two. MS has decided to pretty much copy Nintendo. MS regularly fails when it comes to copying. Unless MS is on home turf(ie their OS or PC Design) they tend to never get the foot hold they want. Often they end up flapping their wings. Kinectanimals == Nintendogs, KinectSports = Wii Sports, Kinect Adventure == WiiPlay...... Ubisoft is the only real candidate and even then Ubisoft got into the fitness software beacause of WiiFit. You Shape is likely an signifigantly improved port of the Wii version. Overall MS is flapping it's arm hoping to get the attention of the bigger audience.
Just keep in mind if you go running down the street flapping your arms and making bird sounds you can guarantee people will look. Will they join you, probably not.
It's all a real shame to. I think Kinect could really revolutionize digital interaction. Now because of this model of heavy hands it will likely fall to the way side.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
