I haven't watched the video but....

Did the Kinect make Wii irrelevant? No.

Is the wii still relevant?

Nah, the wii only sold 100 million units, it's not relevant at all.....

We were discussing post-kinect release. ;P

Oh yeah that's right, kinect made the wii irrelevant, i forgot all about that. it's kind of like an apple making an orange irrelevant, right?

facepalm

I was discussing right after Kinect Release and anounncement. It didn't make it irrelevant.

Why look at such a small window. Long term wise, kinect contributed to the Wii's declining relevancy.

Totally correct, i mean let's take a long term wise approach - wii sold like 100 million units...360 sold like 70 million....therefore, 360 = more relevant.

oh yeah, i keep forgetting, kinect made the wii irrelevant. because having no controls to move a character around, so everything HAS to be on-rails, & no buttons to press, so you'll NEVER be able to play any real shooter, that automatically makes kinect relevant & the wii irrelevant, i forgot...

This is like asking if Xbox 360 controller was now made irrelevant by Nintendo showing us their Wii U Pro Controller

It didn't make the WiiU irrelevant, but it made its tablet irrelevant. Big difference.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

The real problem is, many games that are designed for mobile devices are difficult to control as it is. You will not be seeing complex game controllable via a mobile device, unless that device contains standard game controller stick/buttons.
