| S.T.A.G.E. said: The Kinect was a media darling but a concrete failure on pushing gaming. To anyone who denies the Kinect cut into the casual attention span they did, how much is truly the question. Microsoft had everybody in the American media under their thumb in 2010. 2011 the Wii's sales dropped drastically, especially in America. Its obvioius their focus changed because Americas purchasing habits on a casual end are media driven. Microsoft has shown the world that top notch marketing trumps being able to back up your cause. |
You mean after the Wii received no more major games? The Wii was already falling before Kinect and if Im not mistaken the 360 was already catching the Wii in the states that year, Kinect just solidified it. In other words, Kinect came when the Wii was already falling, what makes matters worse for you is how you can claim Kinect killed the Wii and yet Kinect has continued to fail at taking the Wii's software sales lol. In other words you have no proof. If Kinect was killing the Wii and people are shifting from Wii to kinect then why do "casual" games continue to sell better on the Wii?
