| S.T.A.G.E. said: They had to scrap their intentions or else. End of story. The Xbone's reception was one of the worst receptions ever in the history of gaming (yes wayyyyyyyy worse than the $599 PS3 incident. They managed to beat that.). All of the cards for MS seemed to fall one after the other. Give people their damn console and stop trying to control everything. Stop trying to tell people what the future is unless its affordable and doesn't restrict them. As I said again, when Yusuf from MS was interviewed he played it off like the core gamers opinion on the issue don't matter when they make up the bulk of the early adopters. |
That's a cool story and all but the only thing that is relevant is that yes, they did change. And we've already established that. You don't need to explain why they changed. All that matters is they did, and they did so far from being on "the brink of failure". Which means you're wrong. You're only making my point for me.
| S.T.A.G.E. said: Sony never put huge emphasis on the Eyetoy because they saw motion controls as a secondary way to game. They were never happy with sole camera based gaming which they deemed inaccurate, so R&D went to work on the Move in 2004. I am not rambling, you just like to discredit Sony every chance you can get. If I was rambling you wouldn't be writing as much as you are. Stop using Nintendo as a crutch, Nintendo gained the intended market, but Sony put zero marketing muscle behind their motion controls. It blew up in their face when their same essential product was used by Microsoft with major marketing and had a positive public reaction. Yes Allard, you're correct, Sony was never the first to majorly start camera motion controls on a major console. I bow down to your bias. When you provide the source, no one wants any part of it. Its the saddest thing I've ever seen. |
No one is discrediting Sony here. It's not discrediting them to say they didn't start any "camera motion control trend". They also didn't start the online pass trend. Would I be discrediting them to point that out, or just speaking the truth? And how funny that Sony first didn't care much about motion controls and put no marketing or emphasis behind it, and now they "majorly" started it on a "major" console. Your qualifiers to trump Sony up are just adorable. Aren't you the same guy who once said Kinect is a straight rip off of Eyetoy even though it is vastly improved and different technology, but PS3/PS4 integration with Sony handhelds is not a ripoff of what Nintendo did with the GCN and GBA because "the technology is a lot better"? Please do not speak of bias, the ironing is delicious.
All I am saying is Sony didn't start any "trend" with the Eyetoy. You again make my case for me when you talk about how Sony used it as a 2nd tier option and put no marketing or real care behind it. I think you just don't know what a trend is. Hope that helps. Not going to comment on it anymore.
