| snfr said: I didn't read all of the posts here, but what I gathered from this thread is this: - Many people admit that Kinect is a success, but they think it's not right to consider it a new platform. Guys, besides one or two people in here I haven't seen anyone who said that Kinect isn't a success, but treating it as a new platform is just pointless. If Kinect is a new platform, so is Move, Eyetoy, Wii Fit balance board, and even WM Plus. You need these peripherals to play specific games, yes. But they still stay peripherals because they are useless without the consoles themselves. It would make more sense to compare it to Move, WM Plus or the Balance Board. This would also show that it is a huge success. Another discussion that appeared some days ago was if it is the fastest selling electronic device. Hell, Kinect is selling incredibly well, but ignoring the iPhone 4 won't let it disappear. Anyway, some of the discussions in here are actually quite funny. |
This. One of the best and clearest posts in this thread. Blockheads will hate you, but being hated by them is actually a compliment. 
BTW, comparing it with Balance Board implies a very positive side-effect: BB had and still has a huge success, despite having a very low attach rate, most of its buyers have for it only the game included.
