It's already confirmed that they have been doing this for years. To act as if you're a crazy conspiracy theorist is not based in any logic or facts. So I do see legitimate concerns over placing an 'intelligent, voice recognizing, always connected online camera' directly into the center of your home. Secondly, Microsoft is looking to attack a variety of revenue streams and that's the primary reason Kinect is forced upon consumers. They look like they're providing a lot of value, when ultimately it's designed for their eventual bottom line. Sure, some features will be useful,fun and even potentially game changing. However, there is definite cause for concern over it's legitimate functions as it pertains in a gaming environment. Which then leads you down the path of questioning your need to own it if you don't plan on utilizing the multimedia features (Anyone outside of the US, I'm talking to you). It's not just Sony fans. It's most people. |
You know MS has deals with media companies out side of the US right. Anyway, you do know pretty much every company sells portion of your data. Do you think all the data Sony has about your just sit on their servers. Its crazy how people on one end will have this huge conspiracy about one company but willing and able to let their company of choice do whatever to them with a smile. Keep thinking any corporation has your best interest and you will sooner or later be led to the truth. **They All Want you MONEY**.
Does the Kinect have other revenue uses that MS is thinking of, Well of course it does. MS is a business, it would be stupid if they did not try to maximize their return on a product. When Sony sells a memory card that cost 3 times as much as a standard card and you can only get them from Sony, what do you think thats about.
Do people really wake up with this notion that corporations like, MS, Sony, Apple, Google do not want to take your money. That they find many ways to maxmize their profits and revenue. That they try to fit their products into just about anywhere they believe they can make it sell.
Get real, you are not making any type of revelation. Do not trust any corporation. Its always there job to make you want their product and if they cannot then do not get it.
