| Uberkiffer said: I own and use my Kinect on a near daily basis and have to say this article helps illustrate some of Sony's overall problems. First off, holding a glowing ball is not "sexy," being able to perform yoga with a personal instructor in front of your tv while doing nothing other than wearing what you wear is "sexy." The ability to fire up the xbox and say "xbox, Zune" and have it launch right into the Zune application is definitely sexy. I think that Sony focuses too much on the "hardcore" gamer and not enough on the actual gamers out there. This can been seen in their interest to value things like framerate, graphics, or the amount of in-game users OVER actual functional gameplay. Put another way, if Killzone 2 played as well as it looked, they would have their very own CoD style sales. Anyways, I think it is just a case of the "big guy" losing sight of what made them big in the first place... innovation, great pricing, mass marketing where did you go? |
I don't see how kinect is innovative or has great pricing, like Sony said they were looking at 3D cameras for awhile and just felt it would be a pseye 1.5, if Sony released Kinect not one person would call it innovative but since MS did everyone is as for the pricing for what kinect is capable of it is pricy, though MS really got the mass market appeal though that has very little to do with the actual quality or capabilities of the product or even the games that are on it, if it wasn't advertised and hyped it wouldn't have even sold 1 mil
