Is X1 forcing Kinect on us any different than PS3 forcing Bluray on us?

You're amazing.

You can partition a game while it's in development, but post development that's a different story. MGS4 is an example of how a game can't always be partitioned once it's been build to be read off a larger medium.

The developers of Witcher 2 figured it out. But apparently Konmai can't. I guess Konami just sucks.

Maybe it takes more work post development, but it can certainly be done.

Your words, not mine.

Maybe just at some point, Konami realized an 8 disk, sub HD port isn't worth it. Maybe he just needed Blu-Ray to make the game he envisioned, and what he could have made for 360 would not have been the same game.

Just pointing out, this is a case where BR was needed for development. I'll admit there aren't many examples, but if MS made the 360 BR, I think games would have benefited.

So if anything, MS forced CD's on us.

Either way we're done right? You agree that bundling Kinect with every console isn't the smartest move is it? I disagree with you about PS3 BR being of similar nature, end of story.
