before looking at the video i understand the motivations of mega64.

all ms has given us this gen is lets say "hardcore" games and mature experiences, heck xbox live is praised as much as halo. if i was a 360 fan i would be disapointed, not everyone is like you guys in the forum, they don't want to play kinect, as it looks this whole holiday would is based on kinect yes their is fable 3 and halo reach but those arent going to give ms first place this holiday, kinect will. and if kinect is succesful(which will happen) they will base more games around it, and possibly focus on it a lot, giving the hardcore games less games to enjoy. until know other then kindgom and gears 2 2011 looks week for 360 fans.  

i understand their frustation, i ofcourse are going to buy move just to play shooters, but i'm pissed that they delayed socom 4, i would have loved a new ip this holiday. well atleast sly copper and heroes of move are coming.

This holiday season is going to be one of the best the 360 has seen to date. I am fairly certain I will be broke the entire time thanks to the lineup they have coming.  I have no doubts they will continue to keep me and my "hard core" game addiction taken care of.  As long as there is money to be made on the hard core audience Microsoft will be there with their hand out to take our money...

I don't see why the two can't co-exist together.  While I mainly want exercise and dance games for the Kinect, I will continue to be a "hard core" player.  But anything that will get my couch potato loving ass up and moving around is a good thing and I can't wait.

sales wise i agree with you, game wise for the hardcore it depends, for huge halo/fable fans ofcourse but for people waiting for a new experience then probably not.

im not saying they can't co-exist but ms is putting to much emphasize in kinect, until know for 2011 we have kingdoms and gears 2 in march/may. while for ps3 we have infamous 2 and killzone 3, twisted metal, and sorcery.

im not saying i agree with mega64, all im saying is that i understand his reasons to hate kinect, yes i have only one console, that doesnt mean i hate the 360 and thats why im bashing kinect. as a gamer who isnt interested in motion controls i would have sony to put a bigger emphasis on AAA titles for ps3 this holiday instead of it having on move, and respectively for mega64. 

also you have to take into configuartion that pre-e3 many 360 fans expected kinect to be playble by the hardcore, and obviously they were disapointed.
