| cool8man said: I don't understand this comment: "The kinect is like the SegaCD and is a type of an Expansion onto the console again with its own games but no hybrids." How does Kinect have no hybrids? What is Child of Eden, Harry Potter, Forza, and Fable 3? Those are all hybrid games that either can be played with controller and Kinect or they have sections just for Kinect. All hybrid games will have a front cover that says "BETTER WITH KINECT SENSOR"
The Kinect is not like the Sega CD because the developer can release a game on 1 disc that supports both controller and Kinect. With Sega CD the developer had to make the game for both Genesis cartridge systems and Sega CD disc systems. The capabilities of the Sega CD and the Genesis were widly different (Sega CD could have video clips and much more advanced audio) while the capabilites of a Kinect game and non-Kinect game are virtually the same. There are 3 kinds of Kinect hybrid games: 1.) Play entire game how you choose with controller or Kinect. ie. Child of Eden 2.) Play part of the game with controller and part with Kinect. ie. Harry Potter 3.) Play the game with both Kinect and controller at the same time. ie. Racing game with head tracking
As far as trying to predict long term sales, I think it's a pointless exercise because it largely depends upon what Nintendo's response is to Kinect. |
Some people can't decide if it's an eyetoy , the new sega cd or the new sega 32x. One thing is certain ....that for these people it will simply be the stuff of their nightmares when the first sales' numbers start coming in....
