I love Kinect.... probably the best natural filter MS could have found.... all the narrow minded and conspiracy theorist will be purged from the XBL user base.... Then i just remember you're just a fanboy giving some hilarious and lame excuses. So ok, whatever... enjoy your "innovation" (LOL) |
What makes people think that every person that would buy a XBone is seeking to utilize the Kinect sensor all the time? Just like the PSeye, the Kinect is adding capabilities, NOT requirements. If you don't want to use the sensor then ignore it. What M$ was trying to do was make an evolutionary product that has the capability to be a stand alone game system, or a stand alone skype interface or a stand alone cable box or a stand alone whatever. THeir mistake was thinking that the people who read the early press and or even care before it is launched would want anythiing other than a simple game system. What I find the most interesting is that in every interview that i have seen or read, the Sony brass says that their system "does that too" when asked about almost every feature that M$ is pushing. Sony outsmarted M$ by having a reveal that said almost nothing and then making M$ think that they needed to show up the PS4 and announce something special. M$ fell right into it and did what many bits of information said that Sony had planned on doing up to a week or 2 before E3. M$ announced DRM and their higher $ of $500. Sony stood back and waited a few short weeks for M$ to commit and then they could do whatever the media and game enthusiasts were asking for. Sony made all the right moves if you want to pander to the community that this site was built for. But, we will wait and see what the average non-gamer will do. I will probably get both systems like i have for the last few generations, but i will wait to see how things are selling 8-12 months after launch vs the obvious sell out that will happen at launch for all systems.
