That sounded alot like pre-'07 talk about the Wii . . .

And Nintendo pulled it off. They brought out Wii Fit. Mario Kart Wii. Etc. All the big system sellers. They kept support good for the console.

So I don't see your problem with what I'm saying...

Problem? No problem. More a statement, especially when you say the Wii managed to make it thanks to games like Wii Fit and Mario Kart, a cart game and a workout game.

Seems like Kinects on the right track then. May even follow in it's footsteps if Microsoft keeps good support for it . . .

GOTY Contestants this year: Dead Space 2, Dark Souls, Tales of Graces f. Everything else can suck it.

Kinect in Japan amazon=#75

never outside the Top 100 when it announced for pre order

http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/bestsellers/videogames/ref=pd_ts_pg_4?ie=UTF8&pg=4

Kinect doesn't release until Nov. 20th in Japan, so there's a good chance it may go higher.

If it was more of a statement then good for you. We know what happened to the Wii and the support.

We have no idea what's going to happen for Kinect and support.

I said "We will see" for a reason.

At 189 buy out price, which is lower than it was before. Only 152 page views. Not looking good for profit margin there.

This tells a more realistic story.

here's one for 117 pounds buy it now plus delivery, roughly 200$.

He's sold 2 of them at that price.

I suppose we will, won't we. Though half a billion dollars is a bit to waste to assume support would be limited, or even anything less then full-on. But speculation is what we do before the product arrives; "wait and see" doesn't fit my style of deliberation very well on these types of things.

On an unrelated note, Kinect can track fingers. From really close, anyway.

Actually, if I remember correctly, the Wii was pretty famous for it's long draughts. There would be the big Nintendo game and then nothing for a few months yet didn't it sell out for 2-ish straight years? Even those two games you listed didn't come out until more than a year after its release.

You guys are completely missing my point.

Nintendo provided new innovative software for the Wii, numerous times. Thus making it keep going so well, for so long.

Kinect needs that. And right now, it's not guaranteed, and I'm not seeing anything new and innovative.

Is it against the rules to say anything slightly negative about Kinect now? It's almost as bad as posting anything negative about the Wii...
