Just a heads up for some of you. You can't just post why Game A will outsell Game B. You have to explain your views

  • Kinect is targetting casuals, an as yet barely tapped market for the 360.
  • Kinect is not limited to controlling games it will also be used for video conferencing, menu control, voice control as well as augmenting other games. Why people insist that just because Microsoft have a tag line that they will somehow not utilise the Kinects features to the fullest is beyond me.
  • Lastly massive coverage. They really are going for it with the try before you buy shows all over the US/UK (Probably mainland Europe as well) and massive advertising coverage. Advertising sells dontcha know.

Wouldn't that make it harder for Kinect to sell if current 360 owners are uninterested. 

I am not sure they are uninterested but certainly in the begginning MS will be targetting a wider audience. I still expect a strong uptake from 360 owners but not necessarily for the just the games rather the package.

I fully expect augmented games to come out down the road that will make the most of controller and kinect this will be were the 360 hardcore can engage with Kinect. Leaning, Talking and even feedback based on facial expression it will all come eventually.

When people talk about kinect sometimes it reminds me of the tomorrows world CD peice. They knew it was cool but  smeared crap on it and tried to make it play and completely missing the point.
