Move and Kinect

 

Failed to do what they were intended to do, Wii still dominates



Kinect was inteded to increase MS' casual audience and increase sales. Mission accomplished.

You = fail.


Sounds like what Bush said after they failed to find the WMD's , when are you landing on the aircraft carrier

 

Face it, Kinect was designed to beat the Wii, yet Wii is still outselling MS


MS planned on selling 5 million for the whole year, last year Wii sold almost 4 million in 1 month in America alone. If MS planned on kinect beating Wii then they would of predicted 8-10 million.

 

You= fail again.

Not if they were intending Wii sales to drop off as a result

Do you really think MS would have put so much hype and ad money behind Kinect if they merely intended it to get soundly beaten by Wii?

"Yeah we're releasing this new add-on and hyping it to the moon as revolutionary, but its going to be utterly blown away by the Wii and result in us staying in second place for the rest of the gen"



Rumors indicate that it is planning on following the first approach, sticking a new, motion-sensitive controller onto an existing console. Our perspective is that this is the worst of the three options.

-Clayton Christensen back in 2007 already knew Move would be a bad idea

Alan Wake and Metroid Other M. Despite both titles has high quality the have sold very poorly:

Alan Wake was released this spring and it has only sold 0.82M worldwide.

Metrod Other M was released in September and only has sold 0.61M worldwide.

Both were very hyped games but the users didn't respond.

APB is the biggest bomb of the year mainly because if you spend $100 million developing a game and it flops so hard that no one is even aware of its existence then it's the biggest bomb the year

FFXIV was a pretty big bomb too

More like the bomb of the decade.

Yes! But that sill makes it only the bomb of the year

2010 = first year of decade darthripoff

Actually 2011 is the first year of the next decade, 2010 is the last year of this decade.

In my opinion, Splinter Cell: Conviction.

Followed by FFXIV and Vanquish.
