Kind of a controversial statement isn't it? I do think it could be a kiss of death to Microsoft users, meaning their platform may become swamped with shovelware and could tarnish its image as being "hardcore." |
Good point. I've been scratching my head as to why MS fans want this device to be successful, at least the ones that pride themselves on their "hardcore" nature. Perhaps they just want MS to be successful, but come on, MS is like, the richest company in the world! It's not like the NEED the success..
All these 360 gamers are going to end up with is a shift to casual "birdmen" games on Kinect, the same types of shovelware poured out by third parties on the Wii that everybody loves to hate, and one of their biggest cards against the Wii (that 360 has a better ratio of quality games) will be lost.. The third parties have tried this strategy on Wii a couple years back and it failed. And if these games couldn't sell on Wii, they sure as hell won't sell on the Xbox 360.
If MS is really going to shift as much focus to Kinect software as they've claimed, naturally there is going to be a decline of typical core games on 360. I guess they think they can have it both ways.
Look at the software announced for 360 this year already.. Gears 3 and Elder Scrolls V are litterally the ONLY 360 games I want.
