| xaq404 said: Yeah, right. Kinect is honestly pretty embarrassing. Microsoft's understanding of the "casual" audience is pathetic. Microsoft: Well, that WIi thing is doing pretty damn well! Maybe we should make our own motion controller! And sell it to the casuals! But what do these "casuals" like? Microsoft's understanding of the Wii's audience: HERP DERP MOTION CONTROLS DEERRRP COLORFUL GRAPHICS HERP HERPPP SHALLOW GAMEPLAY DEERRRRPPPPP. Microsoft: Wow! What retards! This will be easy to sell! We just need to make colorful minigame fests! Who cares how good they actually are? Who cares if the hardware is $150? These retard's will buy it if we advertise it! Take this approach opposed to Nintendo's strategy of basically taking their arcade games experience and using that to make motion control games that play like arcade games, and using a simple exterior. |
This is targeted towards new console owners, $299 is cheaper than a Wii plus a Balance board which used to be a popular combo. The kinect games i've seen so far looks much better than Wii spots, Wii fit and Wii Sports resort. Those 3 games are 3 of the most popular for Wii, only games missing are Mario Kart and NSMBWii and you got all the "casual" games on the Wii thats popular.
I'm not saying this is the shit or anything hell i wont buy a Kinect, but the audience will be there since the games which are popular on Wii can be recreated better on Kinect (fitness games and sport simulators).
