i'm really hating what VGC has become...


Agreed.  Maybe I'm just getting old or I'm not as drunk as I used to be but the whole PS3 vs 360 thing is getting exhausting.  It's like comparing a sniper rifle to a machine gun.  Both have disinct advantages but both camps want their weapon of choice to be best in every single category.  Some battles just aren't worth fighting.

Kinda got to agree on this one.  Trolling / flamebait threads right now is at an all time high it would appear.

However back on topic I am just as excited as most 360 fans that Kinect has been a huge success and I think its a great piece of hardware, but threads like this and the GT5 one aren't really neccessary. 

I would agree but your dead wrong. The forums have always been this way but in ps3's favor. thats why it took me so long to make account because if you support xbox it's ok to get flamed or whatever else but as soon as the boot is on the other shoe. Well we get the complaining we see and all I have seen complaining have flamed 360 fans before.

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE. TROLLING/FLAMEBAIT THREADS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HIGH ON HOLIDAY SALES.

Benvtrigger- I have not seen you yet flame, so this is not for you. others though, C'mon. Lets be honest. You all hated on KInect and I should have saved your comments to bring them back up but did not.

What is not liked is that xbox fans on this site is on the rise and I say, About f'ing time.

And the Wii rules them all.



Above: still the best game of the year.

It's already outselling Wii/PS3/Xbox 360 in aligned launches:

8 weeks worldwide:

Kinect: 5,407,803

Kinect is completely destroying Eye Toy in aligned launches, despite having a far smaller userbase. I think this happened because a lot of people were hungry for something a little new, and advertizing kicked in really fast. In Americas, Kinect's 8 weeks has already outsold eyetoy's American lifetime sales.

I predict that Kinect adventures will go on to outsell all other 360 software. The strong momentum of the game should continue into early 2011 and shoot back up for the holidays, and this is all happening despite a very weak Japanese market. Europe and Americans are loving this so much. I think the reason for all this happening is that Kinect was produced by the casual audience brought to gaming by the wii, and that 360 is now sharing a similar audience to the console leader this gen.

Anyway, to all the people who thought Kinect would "Fail", "just be a fad", those people who said "360 userbase is too small", "It has bad reviews", "wii is the new king of gaming", "casual audience is on a decline", blah blah blah blah blah...

I know this thread is similar to the GT5 one but since that didn't get reported I guess this one would be alright :) enjoy!

RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON!

Tell it how it is. lets be real. 360 has been pounded  upon by others. We deserve a thread like this.

amen!



I'm still waiting for the hardware sales to go down to the software sales level....



I LOVE ICELAND!

guess alot of people just have to eat crow, not me cause I had no idea how this would go.



Honestly, these kinds of threads aren't even funny anymore (if they were ever funny).

They really need to stop :/
