Haha! Oh boy, I can deal with it. MS should have made the Kinect an option. It works very well and it would have sold well on its own. Apparently MS is so happy with the new Kinect, they believe every X1 owner should have it. Unfortunately, I don't think Kinect will make gaming better for the average consumer. I don't feel Bluray made PS3 a superior gaming machine either and cost Sony a lot of sales. |
Blu Ray holds great amounts of space and looks world more. The amount of audio it can hold is astounding for disc based gaming. Blu Ray has already proven its worth in being the format of all three brands consoles and Sony's (yet again) for a second time. Just goes to show that Sony knows a winning format when they see one and Blu Ray is set to shove off DVD in the next couple years for good as the main format in non-gaming households. When Sony uses a format in the gaming industry it not only affects us as gamers but the ability for the common man to purchase such things as well. Microsoft knows better, which is why they followed them with DVD's early on in their first gen when they launched a year after.
As I said before, Sony created camera based motion gaming. The Kinect succeeded off of the Wii's exposure to the non-gaming market and Sony shaved off quite a few people themselves and sold half of what Microsoft did with the Move so thats not half bad with their shitty marketing. Anyway, they knew its a secondary part of gaming that should be left up to the consumers. Microsoft has the burden of proof since people were forced to have the Kinect of its use in gaming. Those who use it for multimedia purposes alone, well I can understand them. Everyone else? Not so much.
