I do think is a good step in a new direction for Microsoft... But being honest, it came too little, too late.

If the Xbox 360 had come with this from the bery begining, it would make a lot more difference... But this is a response to Sony's Home and Nintendo's Mii. And implementing it on a console that didn't consider these new values from the system's conception is going to ba a hard struggle to cater audience

Exactly. I don't think this will increase the amount of sales from microsoft. The usage of the avatars will not be as high as the wii (many games are using them) and the demographic that the xbox brand caters too tends to be gamers that this would not interest. The company has to have similar values to Nintendo to be able to do this successfully...and they have to have a way to generate buzz around it.

 

Leo-j I understand where you are coming from, but you have to look more in depth at the issue to talk about copying. Nintendo's controller is significantly different than any motion controls we have seen before (as a whole). They used them in an innovative way that excited the market. People say the PS3 copied because of the timing of the announcement Sony may have had the motion control idea inside the sixaxis before nintendo announced the wiimote. I don't think so, but that does not mean I am correct. But, the way they used it is significantly different that Nintendo's, like I said earlier.
