We are talking about games not college. I graduated with a degree in History and a minor in Geography. I know a little bit of Italian, I have relatives in Itay, i have been there a number of times. Anything else.

If It's successful they will copy. Wii will have it's own version of hands free gaming and Sony would just come up with a much better eyetoy.

sadly motion controllers may become a big thing :(

Hardcore gamers keep the ps360 alive. The casuals is for nintendo.

Kinect is a fad for the console known for fps usage.

The thing is, I don't see Kinect being successfully globally or in markets that would affect current trends apart from maybe the US.

In the US I can see it selling well, and I think it could help MS get 360 to a more general audience, thereby closing of some of the Wii's market share a bit and helping to keep PS3/Move in the less dominant position.

But... in Europe I just can't see it being that big a success.  The space requirements are just hugely against it.  UK is a great market for 360 but terrible for room space.  This, plus the fact Move launched first and PS3/Wii are far more dominant than 360 outside UK convince me it just won't make much difference in this key market.

In Japan I think it has no chance.  The space issue plus 360 popularity I think will kill it at birth.  Sure, there'll be an initial bit of hype, but it'll die quickly I think.

So, while I do think Kinect will be a success I actually don't think Wii and PS3 look to be hugely affected unless Kinect manages to overcome what I see as issues that will hold it back outside US.

To be honest, I don't see either Nintendo or Sony going "hands free" despite whatever success Kinect brings.  And as time goes on I think we'll see less, "hands free" Kinect titles too, and more games that integrate a controller (ie: Forza 4).

Nintendo's going to go fuller into player feedback nextgen imo (ie: Vitality Sensor).  I don't think they'll implement a full camera though, I think they'll probably keep pretty much the same interface setup as Wii (though they can still refine and improve it).

Simply stating why I didn't like your comment.

that's one gamer down! 100,000,000 to go!!  Come one VG, you can do this!!

I believe they will both have their sucess and bugs/issues, with the move, it works except when i tried it the first time it didnt work too good, but thats also because with move and i guess kinect too, you have to set up the camera properly, and be within the view of the camera. If kinect were a hige sucess, it wouldnt really have an effect on ps3 or wii. Though it will kind of look weirder using kinect as it is hands-free. Haven't tryed kinect at all or the move for long, just at my friends house.

It's already a huge success. lol

Damn those crafty bastards!  They time traveled into the future via teh cell to copy KINECT!
