CNN = mainstream.
IGN = core/hardcore gamer nerdlings.

The majority of the CNN audience is 40plus years old(iirc). Which is not the type of audience who'll care about Kinect, or are likely to go out and buy it.
|
But core gaming nerds at IGN aren't likely to buy it either.
Also, lets remember CNN is the 18th most popular website in the US. While IGN is 186 I believe.
I would guess CNN's reach to casual gamers and people with disposable income is much larger.

The 40 year old Will Wimpys will tell their Sally Soccermom wives to buy it for their children for christmas. The middle aged Bob Businessmen will buy it for their family to keep them occupied while they are on numerous "Business Trips". It's perfect marketing!
|
Sell to the one that doesn't know any better and disappoint everyone, yes perfect marketing
|
Well yeah. That's the casual audience. Wii dominates it.
The way I figure it, if people can actually have fun with those Wii party games. They'll go ape shit for the Kinect.

Kinect hasn't exactly proven itself better then wii's party games though, and casuals don't like to spend alot or own multiple consoles, so the fact that wii already owns the market makes it doubtful that people are going to go out and get kinect unless they really buy into MSes BS marketing
