Why are people trying to downplay Kinect's success?

[ghettoglamour]

I have to say that I'm a PS3 owner, so I'd like to see my console as market leader, because I think it's the best one (my opinon).

I chose "I am butthurt", not because it's a success for the Xbox (I mean, it's not my money anyway), but because I'm worried about the future of gaming.

I see Kinect as a great device, with potential for great features and gimmicks, but NOT as gaming device. I don't understand why core gamers are happy with those sales, even Xbox fans. You'd have to admit that that kind of games is not what you're looking for.

So if this keeps selling massively, it could start a new trend, casualizing games even more. Publishers would start to ask themselves, why bother making AAA Titles with huge budgets, when they can sell the same amount of copies with a cheap Kinect or Wii game? At the end, for the companies, it's all about the money, don't forget that.

 

So yeah, "great job Microsoft", but this kinda hurts me, and not because I'm a sony fanboy or whatever
