Do we really need a thread for this...? The answer is absolutely obvious... haters gonna hate.

And what some people don't seem to realize most of the time is that 'haters' are just a very small part of the gaming community and of certain fanbases; they're just the loudest ones...

Kinect owned this holiday over Move. Gotta see what happens next year when more games are released.

I  laughed as soon as I opened it. I usually throw a off question in mine but with more options. Ethier way i had a good laugh and even more by the people proving the butt hurt part.

i was a 360 fan until kinect got released,now their is just coming casual gamers and microsoft has their focus on them now,we hardcore gamers are just getting Gears Of War 3(which will be awesome but it's just one game) I have a ps3 too so will prabably use it much more this year.


Well, you're completely wrong there. I think more research is in order.

As for the  $500 million marketing, that money is to market Kinect for the next 5 years.


LMAO

 

OT:

 

i think most people are downgrading cause XBOX is known to a hardcore console and now they are shifting focus.

By claiming that it's got 500M budget in marketing.

You do realize that it has to be a product that people want in the first place?

Marketing help spread the awareness telling the (casual) people that such a device exist and they may be interested.

Yes, marketing helps, but that's not all the product has. It's an interesting device and there are already so many homebrew for Kinect already.

Are you butthurt by Kinect because it's selling more than your system of choice?


Ask this to your self.

why do ppl downplay GT5 by saying "bu bu but it released on holidays" yet the same doesn't apply for kinect plus the fact that its bundled WW???

Something to do with the time space continuum thing.

KInect has blown away expectations, GT5 has meet expectations but not impressed. We knew it would produce numbers as such.

Here is a article for you , check it out.

@dr. grass  you make good points but what I wanna know is if the MS fans are happy for Kinect because it is on their system of choice or if they genuinly think the Kinect is a good product???
