We've yet to see how far Kinect can take MS, to this point it has been a resounding success.


If by resounding success you mean outselling PS3 by 20k in your strongest territory ,barely keeping above Wii in EMEA and being locked in a fascinating duel against PS2 in Japan then yes kinext is outstanding success.


Oh come on.  The device sold gangbusters.  The Xbox 360 was just about off the planet before Kinect launch.  It is seriously old tech and it hasn't seen a price cut in forever.

I'm not feeling it.  MS position with 360 has improved relative to the Xbox.  Therefore there next console will launch on the back of a better position than they had previously, with more active Live accounts, etc.

Really bad to me would require them to be in much worse shape than they seem to be.



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

yep and i just bought kinect a few days back with dance central and it fun as hell , and well people can disagree with me and idc but kinect casual and hardcore titles will be here for now to next generation xbox if u dont like it too bad jump ship to a diff console like we wouldd care anyways



What? so Xbox 360 was in a good position when just released? Don't make me laugh...

the Xbox brand is stronger than ever, when this gen started no one even considering buying an xbox 360 just because of it wasn't a well know name as playstation at that time.

Just compare Xbox and Ps2 and Xbox 360 and PS3 you will find out who is rising who is falling,

Plus, Japan as a country is falling, their significance on the world stage will fall much further when next gen started.



This thread was just intended to get a certain reaction out of people, and not in a good way.. kind of like how ignorant people buy a certain console as was stated in the OP.
