Despite all the X1 Improvements, geographical bias will be its biggest problem.

I think they did good by actually letting you unplug the Kinect. The tinfoil hat people were right this time around, MLD. It's clear that they were always able to provide the Kinect without X1 so why did they even try to pull that stunt in the 1st place? Why would they try to make the Kinect for the console to function all of a sudden?

You don't find that to be odd, MLD?

Good thread though

I once read an interesting theory on the always-on and required Kinect. It ties in with Microsoft's TV focus and essentially Kinect would capture the reactions of viewers to commercials. This would potentially be incredibly valuable data for marketing firms to improve advertising for all sorts of products, worth billions of dollars.

That sounds like it should have been kept as a perk of having Kinect on. This bitch is so powerful that it can look at you and sense your heart beat. I've also read somewhere that the sensor can also sense the pace of the blood streaming through your veins when looking at you.

 

I don't see how they could get better than what is done now. If i'm looking up RPGs then advertise RPGs to me. If i'm in the movie section looking up horror films then advertise horror movies to me. I dont think they can get any better than that.
