A feature you want integrated into games on your system ends up resulting in what is used to make the feature so needed. Same with Microsofty trying to push the whole cloud computing and always on. They do want a system that is totally integrated with the Internet, and also happens to totally integrate with your motion, movement, voice, and so on. Of course, when early adopter don't find it cool, and rebel, you have problems on your hand. And that is where Microsoft is with the ONE at this point. You do have the faithful partisans who will end up arguing everything Microsoft does is golden and defend it on forums like this, but they aren't necessarily the norm. |
Everyone has something they offer to the gaming industry. Sony has always upped the formats, MS has helped with the online and online based software elements. It just might work. We'll see how the dedicated servers work with the cloud computing goes. I dont think the Kinect will be integrated into everygame. Does every Sony game use six axis? Not necessarily. Microsoft wants to make sure the tech gets used but Kinect in its state is only a supporting device and not enough of one to create an experience. I wish I could say it was but cloud computing has more potential to smooth out the online experience than even it does and thats not even proven yet.
