Rafux on 19 October 2010

Wow MS really know howto play its cards and use his huge resources. By the way is there a "Oprah" or something equivalent in Latin America or Europe?

I do not doubt Oprah and her ability to sell products through personel endorsements but I will need to see a sizeable uplift in next weeks preorders before I am convinced this will make any major difference in the grand scheme of things.

Is Oprah broadcast live or pre-recorded?

The hardcore gamer is becoming more and more of a rare breed.  And sadly with Microsft and Oprah, it's being pushed more into that direction.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

Are you kidding me?  There will always be hardcore games and hardcore gamers.

Hopefully you are right, but things like this will convince developers that their is more money in the casual market. That means that there will be less emphasis on hardcore games and less hardware for the core gamer.

People talk about Top gear and GT5 possibilities... that pales into insignificance to the potential here.

Kinect is going to be immense this holidays in the US...  I cant see any other outcome.

It has to be.  If it's not it would be one of the worst marketing debacles and wastes of money in recent memory.

I'm sure soccer mom's will rush to gamestop to put down their pre-orders >.>

You do realize that most of the casual audience don't even know what a pre-order is right?
