| think-man said: It not about the negative its about it being new and fresh, I think if MS waited things would be alot different now. The people that tried the Kinect already and maybe weren't impressed will probably not give it another shot where as if they waited and released it with the xbone it may have been more advanced enough to impress them. |
By including it in the box, it doesn't matter if the decide to give it a shot or not. It's there. If someone is so he'll bent against Kinect that they're not going to buy an Xbox One, because of their experience with the original Kinect, then not sure what to say to that. Technology is ever improving, so if someone swears off technology because it doesn't live up to their expectations, it's their loss. If it substantially improves upon the past functionality, it'll succeed.
Based on your argument, Microsoft should have held off Windows 1 and just waited until they had Windows 7 ready. Or Apple should have held off the Apple I until the iPad was ready. Or that we shouldn't send any rockets up into space until we can achieve Star Trek technology. The problem with your argument is that without the steps in between, we don't get to were we are today. Hindsight is 20/20.
In 1940, we only knew about genes. In the 1960's we discovered DNA. In the 1990's we mapped the human genome. A decade ago we began understanding DNA, but we considered humans to be made up of DNA (our 26 Chromosomes) and junk DNA. Today we now know that junk DNA isn't junk at all but is vital to defining who we are beyond our genes. It determines how long our bones grow, how large breasts get or well endowed a penis is. There are a whole slew of genetic differences controlled by what we once called junk. But in 73 years, through each step, we went through, we learned something vital. And since the human genome mapping our understanding has exploded.
Yes, travelling from point A to point B in a straight line is much easier, but few roads are perfect straight lines and most that are straight are boring as hell.
