Honestly, I could care less if this thing works or not. I have yet to see one piece of software to get me excited for this thing at all. I think Microsoft is going to have a hard time selling this to anyone outside of hardcore xbox fanboys at $150. Even the $300 combo deal os going to be a hard sell considering that a Wii can be bought for a $100 less and has the likes of New Super Bros. Wii and Mario Kart Wii. Kids will go to their friends house and play Wii, and want to buy Wii, not Kinect. I'm having a hard time trying to figure out who Microsoft is marketing to here.
And to everyone who says, "look at how much fun people are having though!" Have you ever seen a movie so bad, that it's hilarious? Movies like "The Room", "Over the Top", and "The Wizard" remain popular for this very reason, and it's hard not to watch them without smiling.

By this logic nobody will buy Move either so I guess we are wasting our time because both will be failures. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm not interested in Move either, but at least it has buttons. Also games like Resident Evil 5, Heavy Rain, and Killzone 3 already have Move support. I'll personally stick with a regular controller, but those games seem more interesting then anything Kinect has shown me.
And by the way, I haven't cleared anything up. This is a personal opinion.

@bolded- How is the Move bundle going to sell when it costs twice as much as a Wii?
|
I never said Move was going to sell.
But I think Sony is trying to target gamers more, where as Microsoft is simply trying to snag Wii's casual audience, which I don't think will work. I could be wrong and eat my words. Who knows?

The Wii audience is the only audience left for the 360 and PS3. Game like Halo:Reach, Gears 3, COD:Black Ops, Killzone 3, etc are all aiming at the core gamer. Motion conrols are not going to sway the core gamer to pick a console over the other. The question is will Kinect attract the casual audience better than Move and the general consensus is yes because its cheaper to get playing. $300 vs $400. Personally I think Kinect will sell better but until some great games are announced for it I see it becoming a novelty just like the Move. Move is not going to make Killzone 3 any better and I don't see many gamers using the Move option more than a couple times after getting their asses handed to them playing against DS3 wielding online opponents. Personally I think both were created to try to sway the Wii market over to their respective systems but neither will work too well in doing that.
