No you're alright, I asked him a question in a perfectly calm mannor.

I'm also very sorry someone asked for Move numbers and I used the only site on the net that tracks install base on a site i work on .. yeah how dare I use VGCHartz numbers.

Dude. Check what site you're on right now.


You got over protective of kinect quoted and questioned him when there was no need,it made you sound like a lads mrs when she has taken something he has said out of context (hand on hip) and whats that suppose to mean? you took it as some sort of dig.

yeah i did check what site im on,its definitely the site that has under tracked Ps3 sales and even greenburg laughed at the sales Vgchartz posted for kinect.


I'm not taking anything out of context, I know exactly what they're doing, and I've heard that "expected" line from half a dozen Sony fans recently.

I'm quite happy with VGChartz numbers (as are most here) so I'll continuing using them. If you have a problem with them then that's your fault. I'm not going to use this sites numbers on this site because you don't agree with them.


Sceece I know how it must feel to be the only one on this site defending kinect, oh sorry and your sidekick kowenkiki, but its ok, the voices? they're not out to get you....honest now stop being such a fuddy dud about it all

Lie. Never bought one.

 

What's worse a partial truth or the whole lie? Choose carefully -.-

Then why would you need this?

I don't need that, that's exactly the point. I didn't need that to get on the internet, stop lying.

Actually it isn't selling faster than "move", infact they (MS) lowered projections because of it. MS suffered better initial sales than Move did (week 1) but now they are on their same straw. I believe 360 owners are a little bit more protective of their tech and bought it than on Sony's camp. This is why they bought it on pre-order more so than the Move. But since these guys are gone from the market now, their sales will go stale just like the info says for data after week 1 so far. Once the buzz is gone, Kinect isn't anything special and won't sell as well as you think. Kinect is a snore fest, not ONE good game out nor coming out. Sad but true. I don't know a single person who bought the Kinect, and I know mess loads of 360 owners. Sorry, but I know this Kinect hype is just that, hype.. When the Black 360 revision came out, they all upgraded, and that sold well. None bought this, so I know it will die out flat in the water after the initial burst of sales. Not trying to hate, but people aren't gonna spend $150 for a stupid camera that costs $50 to make. Microsoft has to make the product a lot more appealing than it's now..

Never seen so much denial, rofl


He fails at so many levels :)


I agree with Firebringer =D, but he failed to remember that people bought the 360 regardless of all it's short comings.

A next gen machine that wasn't internet capable out the box, couldn't display in HD out of the box, to get it on the internet you needed to buy a proprietary dongle that would run your $100 extra dollars oh and $60 games =P.

The guys who baught 360 did so despite knowing that it could or actually would RROD on you to which you've probably lost a system and a game and that for the first two or three years Microsoft refused to acknowledge this issue.

People baught it despite all the issues that plauged the machine.

But firebringer hit the nail on the head, games... are the games our enough to warrent the purchases. If his speculation is true then nope =P.


I'm not sure what system you're talking about, because when I brought my xbox home I had it displaying in HD and logged into live that same day, without having purchased any extra equipment...

I was thinking the same thing. I guess he doesn't realize that 720P is HD. Most of the PS3 games were running in this same resolution. Microsoft eventually upgrade the 360 to do 1080HD with software and then eventually native as well. You didn't need Wireless Wi-Fi to get on Xbox Live. It has a port for a ethernet cable. So yes, it was internet capable right out of the box. Always was. Microsoft address the RROD issue just a few months after it started happening.  Several of the games for Kinect are worth the purchase. Sony had to rush an enable OLDER PS3 games with MOVE support because they realized that almost ALL of their MOVE Launch titles were crap. Only SportChampions and EyePet were worth a look. Anyone play the incredibly awful Lights Out and Kung Fu Riders? Many of the other games have serious bad lag like Time Crisis. Microsoft does plan to add Kinect support to some of their games like Forza 3 and Fable III. They aren't going to rush it out the door those. It'll get done right.

I think he's talking about the original models, which lacked an HDMI port, so they could only display up to 1080i (as opposed to 1080p) through component cable.  As far as online, he's talking about Wi-Fi, since all models before the new 360 model lacked Wi-Fi.  You had to purchase a seperate adapter, or run an ethernet cable to your 360.

I was being sarcastic, I knew exactlty what he was talking about, and calling him out for his misinformation.  1080i is still HD, even if not "full" HD, and it could do 720p as well.  Saying that it lacks wi-fi is not the same as saying it's not internet capable...

The first couple of years for the Xbox360 didnt come with Wi-fi. While Ps3 and even Wii did. Alas I won't argue facts like an opinion go do the research on your own time.

OR you could just use the standard ethernet port that is included on all 360's.  WOW imagine that.

There are plenty defending Kinect on this site, I don't feel the need to defend all the time, only when I find the topic interesting.

Post /= voices, what are you on? like I said , several posts with the "as expected" from Sony fans. I'll be however I want about it, I calmly asked M.U.G.E.N and you were the one to blow it out of proportion.

I guess some people don't realize you do NOT need a Wi-Fi connection to get the Xbox 360 on the internet. There are these things called wires, and you can plug an "Ethernet Wire" into the back of the 360 and still get on the internet. The "Ethernet Wire" also plugs into a thing called a "Broadband Modem" or a "Router" with with "Internet" connection. With this you can play on a service called "Xbox Live" that costs you some "Money".

As for the "Dongle" you can do whatever you feel like with it, I don't care.

"There are plenty defending Kinect on this site"

Not defending, the people talking have actually used Kinect, or own it. The problem with the gaming crowd these days, is people who never played a game or used a released piece of hardware giving a negative opinion on it. I haven't used move, so I sure as hell am not going to  comment on it, or it's games.

Well, that's the point. You DON'T NEED THAT to get online with XBox Live. All you need is a ethernet cable. Just plug if from your cable modem into your Xbox 360 and you're good to go. Having a wireless adapter isn't required. I think that's the point you are missing. I believe the PS3 had a ethernet port as well. Not every has Wifi or needs it. It's not partial lie, it's a TOTAL LIE when you said, ""to get it on the internet you needed to buy a proprietary dongle that would run your $100 extra dollars". No DONGLE (actually it's called a Wifi Network Adapter) is needed. Period!
