It's just slightly annoying certain people clinging to a retail price that isn't confirmed sticking their fingers in their ears singing "lalalala" to anyone that mentions otherwise. It's not 360 fans stating unconfirmed prices as facts, it's sony and nintendo fans.

I didn't really read the rest of what you responded to, because that's just your perspective on things, so I can't argue that. However, this is what stood out to me because you're trying to make this look bad on Sony and Nintendo fans.
But I mean....did you think M$ fans would post articles talking about how Kinect is $149 or $189 or whatever? You guys are supporting Kinect and want it to succeed, of course you wouldn't go bragging about those prices, that although unconfirmed, have been said by several sources, because that's NOT a successful price for an add-on. I bet if Kinect was being said to be $80 from several sources, you'd all be citing as much as you can. But now, the rumored prices happen to be inconvenient prices, so you don't want to trumpet them.
It's just like M$ hopping on the 3D hate bandwagon against Sony. 3D is being pushed, but the TVs are $1500 , so many M$ have said that it's stupid for Sony to push that medium this early

No, I havn't reported any prices to my knowledge, at the end of the day, I could go post a thread now saying it's rumoured to cost "$199" it wouldn't matter, Kinect will be the price it will be. Whatever is said on forums is irrelevent.
The fact sony and nintendo fans think it will be $149 doesn't bother me, the fact they're citing it as fact in threads comparing move/kinect is however annoying. Only for the fact, like I said before, they're basically citing it as fact. I believe it'll be $99, I know full well that isn't fact and it could very well be $149 though.
and if you want an opinion from me (a 360 fan, obviously) about 3d. I think it's genius. I think someone has to get the ball rolling on 3D in homes, I'm glad it's sony.
For all I care Microsoft can sign up to 3D down the road when Sony have done all the leg work. Either way, I'm not won over by 3D. Endorsed by Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft .. whoever ... I need convincing.

That's the thing though. You wouldn't say it costs $199, because that's a big fat negative for the Kinect. What I'm trying to say is that, hypothetically, if the Move was $150, there'd be just as many people on the other side of the fence bashing it because at that price it wouldn't be successful.
Only news we have on Kinect is from Amazon, Gamestop, and a handful of other sites, and because the rumored price is not a good one, M$ fans aren't going to post about it.
I'm a Sony fan, but would it make sense for me to defend Move if it was really expensive? No, that's a bad thing, and at the same time, being a negative means :D :D :D for fans of other companies. Put it this way, since it's been like this on this forum for years anyway. Not only, but mostly fans of a certain console are the ones who post the positive news about it. Those against the console post the negative news.
Right now, in terms of price, what we've seen so far is a big fat Kinect, so of course it seems like Sony/Nintendo fans are taking over. But at the same time, look at the thread posted about how the Wii is finished because Nintendo is throwing full support behind the 3DS now. You think a Nintendo fan posted that?
