In short, they know the Kinect 2.0 wont sell if its sold separately. |
That is just garbage. Kinect is around 25 million in sales, MS have the knowledge, experience and resources to back that up and sell Kinect 2 just as well.

God knows how it got to 25 million. The amount of noticeable games on it was abysmal, same goes for the PS Move. I'm sure MS were doing the Scrooge McDuck money pool dive while the people who bought a Kinect wondered what the fuck they could do with it after a week....tops.

kinect is my most used feature of my xbox 360. I am getting the xbox one solely because no other companie in the world right now offers what it does with voice controls. Its going to make my entertainment watching even more enjoyable than kinect 1 did. I cant wait. when the kinect 2 gets released for pc, I will get it for that too. The closest thing to kinect right now are tvs with voice(which only work for your tv, not all the entertainment apps that xbox has, nor my cable box, and cost a lot more). I would hope some company could compete with MS in this area so the xbox one would be cheaper, but no has stepped up to the plate yet.

Alright, fair enough. This is a market for Kinect, but you have to at least admit that Kinect was not handled well as far as its implementation with games. For all the install base they grabbed, they really did not do much with device it self. Albeit, things like controlling the dashboard and commands on different games are cool, they aren't revolutionizing anything anytime soon.
|
Haha love the rick grimes pic, even though the show is massively overrated and even poor at times.
It is laughable people say Kinect makes the entertainment expereince vastly better. Voice is more of a hindrance and an annoyance to me, I know many cannot stand voice activated anything. it is a gimmick nothing more. Same thing with gaming. When I am sitting home watching a show, how does kinect enhance anything? It doesn't.
Ms is betting too much on it and are going to lose.
Even nintendo has abandoned the motion fad.

Kinect is not just motion, its motion and voice. Kinect is the next step in interfaces. I didn't get it for games. I got it for media use, and it has revolutionized it. Phones are using more and more voice control, some are even adding motion control too. Gesture interface is very similar to touch(which I honestly dont use, as I dont like touch interfaces etheir), which everyone is getting more adapted to since smart phones and tablets use it. Have you had the pleasure of using a kinect to watch media? With kinect 2 basically removing my need for 3-4 remotes i use on a daily basis I cant help but be excited. I dont know if you have heard of the open living room kitchen concept, but if you have and like to cook and watch tv, or do things around the house and watch tv, or simply be freed from your remote, kinect is a must.
|
Yes lets add a 100 dollar kiect to use instead of out remote or voice commands..............Only proves my point. Voice is not always accurate and worse then GASP, having to push a button. Gimmick is a gimmick.
You don't even need Kinect for voice.
|
bahaha you really have no clue. a descent universal remote is at least a 100 and that's the very low end of it. and it is still a remote. so i'd throw 200 at the kinect 2 just if it would only improve on noise cancellation because this is the only real issue I have with it. You'd be in my close circle I would wager a bet over a long time that voice control will become standard for most things that needs button pressing. I know me and my familly will make the switch as it comes more and more available.
even wifey the other day was trying to talk the TV just to realize it wasn't the XB on, this is proof enough for me that it ain't a gimmick, cause if there is something she is not it's a tech fanatic and usually makes fun of me. the 68 year old dad has been using voice command on his car GPS ever since it has been an option on the cars he buys, and I can't wait the day I can set up my oven by voice while telling my house AI to play some jazz on the Hi-Fi system and all that good stuff.
but yeah sure it's a gimmick, I'd invite you in my tech paradise.

A decent universal remote is 100 dollars????? LMAO, I stopped reading as soon as I saw that. You can get them here for 10 bucvks, and all cable boxes and TV's come with remotes anyway.
It's a gimmick and not needed, sorry.
