lol like us core gamers consider this a big blow.......

Im all for the spreading out of releases.


The problem is convincing people who haven't already decided on the Xbox One, or currently ordered but are still on the fence, that spending $100 extra on a console because it comes with a camera but no titles that make extensive use out of it for months and with only one coming out at that point is worth it. Barring any future announcements, of course. The Kinect was supposed to be this big part of the experience with games like Ryse and Crimson Dragon making heavy or even exclusive use of it. They were going to blur the line between core and gimmick. Both of those games went back to traditional controls with only some Kinect support but nothing that is required. At this point, Microsoft has to tell people to spend $100 extra and then wait for it.

No need to,because from what i see,people who saying "lol no Kinect only games for launch now" are never planning buy Xbox One,they just find a new reason to blame MS,so why MS need to do that?


Because three of my friends are a good example as to why Microsoft needed to have something available to make the extra $100 purchase at launch worth it for them. They were all ready to preorder an XOne. When they heard it was $500 they weren't thrilled about it but they knew why and they were looking forward to Microsoft blending the Kinect into the core experience. Then they found out that the device was pretty much busted down to minor in-game functions for core titles and they decided it wasn't worth it. So they preordered a PS4. Last night I spoke with them after my last post. We talked about Kinect Sports now not being a launch title and one of them said, "I'm glad I didn't drop the money on it. Paying that much more than the competition for an accessory they talked up and then won't really be doing anything with for quite some time is bull****. A guy I work with cancelled his preorder and bought a Wii U when he found out there weren't even really going to be any Kinect games. He wanted it for his kids." Not that this news is going to sweep the world and have people crying out in anguish, but I'm certain my friends aren't the only handful of people who decided, after what they heard, that the extra cash isn't worth it. For people who don't worry about money and are Xbox fans, not a big deal. To people who need to be picky, which is a lot of people, it's a big deal.
