Nearly a year and a half after the launch of Microsoft's motion-sensing peripheral, 5/10 Kinect Star Wars is the first Kinect-exclusive title to hit the top spot.

12 per cent of people buying Kinect Star Wars bought the game in a bundle with the new R2D2-flavoured console, worth £350.

Devil May Cry HD Collection arrived in 18th place, while Pixar adventure Kinect Rush turned up in 32nd.

Sega's 8/10 3DS rhythm game Rhythm Thief and the Emporer's Treasure is nowhere to be seen. It was Eurogamer's Game of the Week last week.

Top spot vs 32nd, and a good original game doesn't even chart at all.



Gaming without a controller?

That's like a Big Mac and fries without a Coke.

To people that are not interested in games or suck at them (Many older people told me they tried but the controls are too complicated to them), the line "you are the controller" might be very appealing to try out Kinect. As I said before, their marketing is great.



Game of the year 2017 so far:

5. Resident Evil VII
4. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
3. Uncharted: The Lost Legacy
2. Horizon Zero Dawn
1. Super Mario Odyssey

Why Microsoft can sell anything it wants. 2 reasons.


1) The Xbox 360 has a really talented marketing team. Sony should buyout the team from Microsoft. They can market the shit of out anything.

2) Selnor
