I had to select ~10k since ~none wasn't an option.  With how small the living space is in that country, you would be retarded to get it.  Not tomention the abysmal 360 interest there...

I guess the tens of thousands that bought it in the UK this week were retarded too then

If they have small japanese style living rooms, yes, they are very retarded because it wont work properly has reported by some users.

I don't know anybody with a lounge where Kinect wouldn't work. and I know all sorts of people from different walks of life.

have fun =)

Just like I said earlier:

"But not everyone who bought a Kinect in the UK will find that their living arrangement is suitable for Kinect regardless of size."

And this can apply to a lot of home with the application of reality.  Life is not just abut number, is the application of those numbers that really count.

And, no, this is NOT cherry picking.  These are just examples of SOME gaming set ups.



Hackers are poor nerds who don't wash.

SDick of this size of room myth too.  The average size of a house in Japan is almost identical to the average size of a house in the UK...

Ameicans in particular look at Japanese houses and think wow, they are so small... they are looking at it wrong... it is US houses that are so big.  All European and Far Eastern houses are small in comparison to the US/Canada/Australia. 

 

Figures from the 2003 Housing and Land Survey conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications indicate that Japan had 53,890,900 housing units at the time. Of these, 46,862,900 (86.9%) were occupied and 7,027,900 (13.0%) unoccupied. Of the occupied units, 28,665,900 (61.2%) were owned by the resident household. The average number of rooms per unit of housing was 4.77, the average total floor area in was 94.85 square meters (28.69 tsubo; 1,021.0 sq ft)

HAHAHAHA! Have you ever even been to Japan? Or even lived there? No, I didn't think so... Mr. Mythbuster at work? I think so, and I happen to be fairly sick of Mythbusters tbh...

OT: Walked around Shinjuku and Akihabara today. Lots of marketing and instore demos going on. Too bad NO ONE even stopped to have a quick glance of this thing called Kinect.

I love Japan...

Well I went to try out Kinect (at Bic Camera in Nagoya) this past weekend and there were plenty of people checking out the Kinect. I wasn't there for that long, but 2 people tried out the Kinect demo before I did.

I even got this "clear file" for trying out the demo (from the MS Kinect people there to help).

Man. Those avatars sure do not reflect the reality lol, haters are everywhere, "Behind every successful product lies a pack of haters."



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

I need to visit japan to understand a japanese government internal study???  oh ok then.  oh and have you ever been to the average UK house?    These stats arent made up, they are fact.  and accoprding to you Nobopdy would even stop to glance at kinect in Japan...? Go hate elsewhere. 

Yes you do! you actually do. because obviously you have no experience. and yes, I have been in a few UK homes, I actually have friends around the world and lived a lot of places, so I know at least a bit and don't look at some shitty graph or whatever.

go hate elsewhere? you can't even provide experience, only some random survey from 2003 that could be skewed with farm houses and all types of shit. the average GAMER in japan does not usually live in luxury, or at least none of my 20 gaming friend in japan do.. but hey, what do i know!? I guess some random dude from UK has the 'all seeing eye' lol..

yes, according to me, no one took a glance at kinect, you know why? because I saw it with my own eyes. you have nothing. nothing but love for everything MS related.

ah ok. maybe Nagoya is different than tokyo at noon on a saturday. because the only ones I saw trying out kinect were the demonstraters, shouting "kinect, kinect". however, they were the only ones even looking at the screen.
