| MessiaH said: Similar in that it increased pricing on customers. However in functionality, kinect is invasive, it can GET IN THE WAY of you enjoying your console. Bluray had benefits, games will only get bigger and need a medium to hold them. Bluray had that answer which DVD simply could not do anymore. No disc swapping and being able to watch blu ray movies on the ps3 are always nice features to have. Having to shout at my TV and fight with my kinect sensor to work as intended is not nice to have. |
You can watch Blu-rays on the Xbox 360, just not directly.
Disc swapping isn't really a big deal, how many hours would you have to play in Final Fantasy before inserting the next disc? A long time, certainly not every 5 minuits.
Kinect is also fantastic when a game supports it well, for instance using it in Mass Effect 3 to issue commands, it was used as an addition to the game, not as a main method of control and it worked well.
Despite the Playstation 3's high price and all the extra features it had, it really did nothing new or ground breaking that the 360 couldn't do.
Kinect just needs a single killer game and people will be sold on it, right now, it's best used as an additive to a game.
Personally, I wish Lionhead would do a Black and White 3 with Kinect support, years ago Black and White had "Essential Reality P5 Glove" support, where your hand was the hand of God, Kinect would be well suited to that kind of game.
