Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox 720 will outsell PS4 and Wii-U. Kinect 2.0 will be Killer App - Opinion Piece.

kinect will pull in casuals but not enough to beat the PS4. isnt xbox 720 going to cost more than PS4 aswell with all these camera's built in and stuff. xbox 720 must have price advantage if its to outsell PS4.

I read your points already, but what is Kinect 2.0 that Kinect 1.0 doesn't already do.


1. Kinect will make even multiplatform games better on Xbox 720.
Ex: Dead Space 3, Mass effect 3
2. Kinect will work alongside the standard gaming controller.
Ex: Steel Battalion
3.Younger gamers will be attracted to Kinect 2.0 resulting in toy-like sales (millions upon millions of units) for Xbox 720
Kinect 1.0 already accomplished this.
4. Skipping this point
5.You can only experience Kinect 2.0 on Xbox 720.
So essentially are you stating that Kinect 2.0 will emulate what Kinect 1.0 has done?

I think the price advantage was a big thing for Xbox 360, but I don't think that will be the case for Xbox 720.

Xbox 720 should not be more than the PS4 that could be a problem early on. Then again it all depends on what the console has to offer and how consumers feel about the console.

Time will tell though. But this is what launch prices might be from what I am hearing.

PS4 = $349

Xbox 720 = $399

Or both of them will be $399 at launch.

I know there will be a high demand for both consoles at launch, but I don't think Xbox 720 will do well in the beginning if it has the higher price point. Xbox 720

should have the same price as the PS4 not higher, me thinks.

Good observation, you are right. My point is that Kinect 2 will do what Kinect did but better plus the first batch of kinect games did not use deep kinect integration they were more on the simple side.

They are kinect games that have been in development since 2010 that are now going to see the light of day most of which will be on Xbox 720 with deeper kinect integration.

In other words the really good kinect games are coming most of which are coming to xbox 720, I dont know how much if any will come to xbox 360.

 We will find out either on the 21st or at E3 about how much support Xbox 360 will get.



OP update.

To be honest I will never use kinect for gaming. I loved the motion controls of wii but have never seen the point of kinect. I do believe that the nextbox could win the next gen battle without kinect 2.0



kinect 2.0 a killer app? Are you high?



Noooo... The other thread reversed. And still they bit.
