| shuraiya said: It's not too surprising. Microsoft has to focus on Kinect, or else it runs the risk of falling into obscurity. Ever since the device launched, it became a significant part of the console's future. If it fails, it would likely signal the end of the generation for Microsoft. The boost the console has received in the months since Kinect releases have been based both on titles available and also largely on titles yet to come. Everyone seems to have their own vision of what Kinect could be and are waiting for Microsoft to deliver, so they really don't have a choice but to try. |
Falling into obscurity? The 360 has been doing pretty damn years before the Kinect launched and sales were not on a decline. The only console that was falling into obscurity was PS3 thanks to high prices. Sony chose to sacrifice billions of dollars to keep the Playstation brand relevant by giving PS3 massive price cuts. With that said, MS could easily boost console sales by cutting prices as well but they are choosing to make significantly higher profits instead. 360 is almost in the black, PS3 on the otherhand will never get there.
Now in regards to, "Microsoft has to focus on Kinect." The Kinect primarily gave the 360 a boost in the casual market. Which is something Sony attempted to do with Move and it flat out failed. It would be stupid for MS not to put some focus on Kinect, the demand has been simply amazing.
