a dissruption the way Nintendo did during the Wii era.

Nintendo created a way to make gaming more accessible for casuals by using a gimmick. This phenomenon caused casuals to flock to gaming for a short period of time and then lose all desire. There is no way what the Xbox One is doing is anything like that. People dont need an Xbox One to control their living room, Microsoft is assuming they do. Nintendo is a commercial brand so they use gaming to bring people in, Microsoft is doing the opposite, so why would people move from what they are currently to buy an Xbox One especially at $500? The Wii launched at an extremely affordable price, thats the other part of why they were so dominant.

But MS is trying to integrate all it's products with the X1 so that mainstream (NOT CORE LIKE YOU OR ME) can easily access gaming thus expanding the market!!! C'mon isn't there any MS fans that can help me defend the X1 here? The Sony fanatics are killing our poll!!!

The Kinect would have to be in the forefront if they want that to happen and Kinect already ran its course. Secondly, the Xbox One is not at market price so the casuals will not flock to it because gaming isnt interesting enough for them to purchase at that price. Gimmicks only last so long and without giving people a reason to game buying a gaming console (which is its primary function) to be in your living room is void. Kinect sold a lot just because it can do xrays and watch you have sex, while hearing your heart beating simultaneously wont change that. Hope MS brings out a killer app for Kinect because I know Halo will sell some Xbox Ones when it comes, because it always does in the beginining but even then after a while it no longer becomes a system seller because the installed base has leveled itself as regulars for the known sequels. Nintendo is going through this currently with the Wii U, awaiting the first party titles.
