THats probably a fair and accurate assestment. Heres the problem with that. DO people eve CARE about those types of games anymore? Dont think even this Kinect will be able to play core games that much better, and the Just Dance sports crowd that did like Kinect I think the numbers have diminished. And even then they arent paying 450+ to play slightly better versions of games they've already played. People forget how cheap the WIii was in comparison.


I think we're on the same wave length. I'm not saying it's a great plan, but it's definitely the thinking behind bundling the Kinect with the system.

With the pricing front, I also think that's the thing holding the Wii U back right now. Like you say, the Wii was much cheaper, the type of audience drawn to the "motion" controlled games, aren't comfortable with the entry point of both the Wii U and the XB1. It may be that a lot of them have moved onto smartphones and tablets, but I also think a lot are waiting for much lower cost of entry with the hardware.

I still watch the E3 and laugh sometimes, i cant fathom what was going on in their heads, at least they quickly turned alot of stuff around

For Xbox? yes again another WTH decision, they should have learned that you cant sell a system for 500 and expect it to fly off shelves that is no way a casual entry point. Wii U? I dont know about that one. Ill have to disagree, i truly believe its just a system only Ninty fans want. GC was also pretty cheap. It fascinates me that Ninty can not sell a system above a certain price but the other two can. I dont know what that says about Ninty...well i do but people wont like it.
