I just wonder what some of the reactions would be from the MS defenders if it was the other way around.  What if it was Sony who was refusing reviewers from getting Move and its launch games, and MS was open to it?  I can hear it already: "Sony must be hiding something."  "Move must be crap or they would let the reviews be known."  "OMG, Sony forced Kotaku to take down a video making fun of the Move?  They must be afraid of something."  "Move=Fail."

Ok, we still hear that last one, anyway.  Point is, I know they would be bashing Sony if they were doing it instead.

why not go a step further?

imagine living in a universe where Sony had developed Kinect and Microsoft came up with Move.

I like to do that when i'm in a Kinect thread and try to imagine what the people who support Kinect would say about it if it came from Sony. The ridicule would never end

i would even go that far to say that it's the "Console War" that plays into Microsofts hands. Because, in my opinion a product like Kinect is a slap in the face for every serious gamer, especially for the core base of the XBOX, since it doesn't cater for any of their favorite genres. But still people defend it as if it was the second coming of Christ. i do wonder how many fans are only supporting it only for the fact that it is Microsofts entry into the motion control market, and not because they are really excited for it.

ask yourself guys: what if Kinect was not by Microsoft? would i really want it?

Be honest, nobody is gonna read your mind



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
