This. 360 owners are playing with fire. It could be very cool, but you guys are probably going to get burned. Crappy analogy aside, as of now, there are no good games for it, but with the vgas coming up, that may change.

Actually it does have at least 1 good game and that is Dance Central.  And a couple of decent games like Kinectimals, Your Shape, and Kinect Sports.

Lol. It may be a great dancing game, but can it hold its own against games like SMG 2, God of War 3, and Mass Effect 2? 360 owners could potentially get dumped for a more "casual" fanbase, and the games you listed point towards this.

*sniff* I find it endearing fellow PS3/Wii fans want to warn us, so nice of you! Thanks!

That said, no Kinect won't take away core games.

The only Devs making crappy casual games on Kinect will be devs that never even touched the 360 before, not Epic or Take Two ....

How do you know how much effect Kinect will have on core games? I do wonder how much effect  Wii success had over the  dumb down Pc version Spores.  I wonder how much effect 3D had on Gt5? No doubt it took some developing time away from the gameplay and well some ram that could be use else where.

Please explain this?  it is actually totall illogical... so I am intrigued as to your reasoning.


not illogical since it obvious just the fact that Kinect and Move existance is proof how much Wii success is impacting HD consoles and redirect  some of their resourses especially toward the more casual market.

MS are looking for a split market with Kinect. Not to transform ..

MS is about profits and with Wii success wants some of it's success.

Uh huh, hence why they've made Kinect. But the core brings in massive profits too. Just look at live .. that's a core initiative.

So are you telling me that MS doesn't have profit in mind with Kinect?  Niether Sony or MS want to lose money on another console (again the profit thing) right now and trying to prolong this generation going after Wii market. I believe developers are starting to reach the max of how much they can do with PS3 and X360 hardware.
