What was the whole point of Kinect 2?

Microsoft entered the 8th gen too confident. It thought that, because the original Kineckt sold really well and the XBox 360 practically draw agaist the PlayStation 3, they could follow the same strategy and keep being succesfull (not to mention the DRM policies). When everyone called them out, they had to make a new plan to compete against the PS. Even Nintendo didn't follow the motion controlls, in favor of a tablet-like controller. It wasn't a good idea, but you have to admit tablts are very popular nowadays, so the logic is at least there.

Tread carefully with such statements. There has practically been a difference in terms of when the consoles launched and how much selling through for the same time-line. PS3 is ahead without a doubt. We don't need to be discussing 7th gen competition now.

EDIT: Now as the 8th gen consoles were launching at same time this should have been taken into full account by Microsoft when they decided to force Kinect 2.0 and DRM policies on the loyalists.

Flame Wars incoming XD.

But you have to admit the Kinect gave an important boost to the 360. Without it, the PS3 would have passed the 360 sooner.
