| S.T.A.G.E. said: They thought the Wii U would bring people towards them since the tablet market is growing at a rapid pace but failed to see that videogames only have a finite amount of use to them. They don't need it. The Wii was simple, a quick gimmick to enjoy with the family. The Kinect fed off the residue of that crowd which is why MS ctoninues to believe in the value that isnt no longer really there for the mass market. They are protecting an investment that is powerful but can only do so much when it comes to games and Sony pointed this out long ago no matter how hard they try. The Kinect does not make the Xbone unique. The Playstation has been using the same device for the longest. The problem you're not seeing is MS got the mass market credit for something Sony started earlier and already dried up the value of. MS if forcing Kinect down peoples throats and you know it. They are just protecting their investment. Xbox fanatics will buy it, plain and simple. Let them have it. I will have it if I get my Xbone later on. Its still a very attractive item which represents the American gamer (and I am not even sure they will win over all of those gamers back, the multiplat gamers are jumping back to Sony for sure in America). P.S. When this gen first started I and many others said that you could buy a 360 and a Wii for the price of a PS3 and that was true. Today I am saying the Playstation can be purchased with two games of your choice for just about the same price as an Xbone. Its a direct advantage, especially for gamers who care not for exclusives. They have any two games of their chosing and a more powerful console at a cheaper price. |
Your Kinect = Eyetoy shtick is as adorable as ever. It doesn't matter how many times you bring that up, you're never going to be right.
