which is more likely to entice buyers to purchase the respective console?  will kinect cause more people to buy an xbox 360 or will ps3's exclusive titles cause more people to buy a ps3?  i think this is actually a pretty interesting topic.  i cant even decide which will sell more cuz kinect has a good bit of momentum and ps3's exclusives list is almost legendary.  discuss.


Kinect is more enticing because the masses are more easily targeted and influenced.

um... really? So your saying otherwise Move is much better, it is just advertising. Leave it alone, Kinect is a fantastic technology whehter you will believe it or not


NOWHERE did I ever said nor did I ever imply that Kinect was bad technology.  And this has nothing to do with Move.  Please don't take my standpoint so personal just because you don't agree with it by making things up.

On a different not, back to your orignal comment.

I don't think the consumers are more "easily targeted" or "influenced."  Companies understand hardcore gamers (believe it or not) just as equally as casual gamers.

The main reason why Kinect and Wii have/will do so well in the coming years is because they are marketing to the Western culture.  If you notice, the main line up for Kinect and Wii has some form of fitness.  Western culture loves something they can do at home and have fun with friends and family AND do something healthy.  That's a dangerous combo.

The main problem with the original statement is the idea that gamers are not so "easily" targeted or influenced.  Nintendo and Microsoft understand both gamers quite well, with Sony continuing to aim for a highly specific market that they know just as well.

In less your not comparing casual gamers to core gamers.  In that case, I don't know what your talking about...



V:  And the truth is, there is something terribly wrong with this country, isn't there? Cruelty and injustice, intolerance and oppression. And where once you had the freedom to object, to think and speak as you saw fit, you now have censors and systems of surveillance coercing your conformity and soliciting your submission. How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror. I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence.
