Went into Game today, the first thing i heard before i walked through the door was a member of staff trying to 'promote' Kinect Adventures to someone who cleary had no knowledge in gaming - the guy wasnt interested. it seems like Game are trying to target the less well informed customer, lol.

so i expect that they are trying to heavily promote or 'force' even, Kinect on unsuspecting shoppers.

What would you recommend to someone who has "no knowledge in gaming" and walks into a gaming store?

I certainly wouldnt recommend he pre-order Kinect Adventures, i suppose i could be wrong he probabily knew about MW2 and shooters, but doubtful he knew much about games. either way even though the OP has been getting it the neck about this, i've actully witnessed first hand what Game are doing, and i'm not the only one, its clear they're pro-Kinect, maybe even forcing it on people??

Edit: my impression was that Game staff will take advantage of someone's lack of gaming knowledge to try and get them to pre-order Kinect!

Of course you wouldn't, good thing you don't work for a gamre retailer. If a person comes in knowing nothing about gaming, I would suggest something casual to them, Move, Kinect, or the Wii, this is, after all, the most likely thing a non gamer would purchase. The question then boils down to what will make me the most profit, obviously it is in Game's best interest to push Kinect otherwise they would be pushing something else. It's not rocket science.
