Bit off topic but i want to say this: Luigi's Mansion is one of my favorite nintendo games, easily, so is Paper mario . You raise your kids well good sir!

Do you own little big planet by any chance, that is definitely one game i recommend for kids. My little cousins absolutely love that game

OT: Gotta say I'm not too sure if Knack will sell well. I played the game and thought it was fun, but I dont think the casual audience will perceive the game this way.

I bought both, they didn't really like either very much. Now they are just starting to get into Minecraft.

That's funny, I showed my two boys Knack and they thought it looked boring. Of course, they'd probably say the same for Kinect Sports Rivals. They will love the shit out of Peggle 2 and Project Spark though, can't wait to see what they come up with on that one.

Are your kids mainly into the Call of Duties and that type of stuff? If so, you're raising them wrong. :P

Nope my 6 year old is all about Luigi's Mansion and Animal Crossing and Paper Mario thank you very much.

Haha nice! One of these days they'll definitely appreciate you for that. :) I know I do with my parents. I don't think I'd be the same person if I never got my snes or n64 back when I was really young.

It's cool that they are interested in something like Project Spark. Any kid who thinks games like that are cool and not Call of Duty is cool in my book. xP

Microsoft are hated online yet post a profit that shows the world love their products.

 

No. Definitely not their consumer products. The average consumer does not love Microsoft's products hence the analysts' predictions about Microsoft being irrelevant in 10 years.

Over 94% of Microsoft's income derived from their business solutions (45%), their declining operating system (26.4%) and their server and tools solutions (22.7%). Nearly all of their consumer products struggle out of the gate.

 

Examples of struggling consumer products from Microsoft:

Windows Phone 8: 3.3% declining worldwide market share

Windows 8: -18% decline

Surface tablets: -18% decline

Other hardware: -18% decline

Bing, MSN, Hotmail: $-1,281,000,000 loss

Internet Explorer: 12.1% declining worldwide market share

Xbox One: 19.5% declining worldwide market share

Kin phones: Discontinued

Zune media players: Discontinued

Microsoft Vine: Discontinued

www.so.cl (social): Discontinued

Microsoft WebTV: Discontinued

 

This is not an attack but the sooner Microsoft realize this problem the sooner they'll be able to improve things and prove analysts wrong about them not having a future 10 years from now.

You need to face reality. I don't know if you're ignorant or mentally ill, but something is clearly not right. The average consumer hates Microsoft's products hence the analysts' predictions about Microsoft being irrelevant in 4 years.

Over 94% (!!!) of Microsoft's income derived from their business solutions(45%), their declining operating system(26.4%) and their server and tools solutions(22.7%). It's sad that I have to include the list below, but it seems like you're not getting civilized conversation.

 

Examples of declining/hated consumer products from Microsoft:

Windows 8: -18% decline

Windows Phone 8: 3.3% worldwide market share

Surface tablets: -18% decline

Other hardware: -18% decline

Bing, MSN, Hotmail: $-1,281,000,000 loss

Kin phones: Discontinued

Zune media players: Discontinued

Internet Explorer: 12.1% worldwide market share

Microsoft Vine: Discontinued

www.so.cl (social): "An inferiour Google+ copy"

Microsoft WebTV: Discontinued

Xbox One: Before they were forced to change course

Ill make this simple. 

 

It doesnt matter what you say.

Microsoft have just posted seriously impressive profit figures across the board. Xbox, Windows, WP etc etc.

Stocks rose 6% in just 2 hours after the data came out. $5.3 billion profit out of $19 billion revenue. And thats Q1 2014. 

 

No sir Microsoft are about to have a record year for them. Figures dont lie pal. Say what you want. Microsoft is speeding up not slowing down. A masterclass in how to run a profitable business.

I love it. They released figures that just crapped on every nay sayer. 

 

Waaahh b b b bMicrosoft wont be relevant in 4 years. Wait what, they postes wat Financial figures. Oh crap.

So basically the article is saying once kinect sports rivals hits Microsoft will own the families. So families should wait 6 months is what the article is basically saying.

Somebody can't see the 800 pound gorilla in the room.

You're right. They already are irrelevant without their business and server solutions. Windows is on a -18% severe decline and Windows Phone is stuck at a very low market share. The only remaining consumer product is Xbox One and analysts predict it to have half the market share of PS4 by 2018.

I do love a good anti ms rant.  cant beat them for comedy value.

this is a good one.  well played sir.  you know absolutely jack and you display it so well.  also, you crossed the line in that first sentence.

As a stock holder yourself, it's funny to see how you're defending Microsoft's poor choices. The sooner Microsoft realize this problem with consumer products the sooner they'll be able to improve things.

Be kind to stay out of this.

Don't you lie about the world loving their products!

So you think Microsoft on track for best record sales ever for them in their history is all down to Xbox. Love it. Love it. Financials dont lie. Microsoft are in a better position than ever. Thats how you run a business. They just made a porfit in 1 quater to the total value of Sony or Nintendo and then some.

This thread sure went to hell quick, didn't it?

Anyway, ignoring all the off-topic stuff, Knack might be a hit over the holidays. Sony just needs to get the story across with some kid-focused advertising. Hit up all the cartoon-based programming blocks.

I really hope so, anyway. The game had so many haters materialize out of thin air. I still remember the "it looks too easy" stage, which is funny given how so many journalists are saying that it's harder than most games.

After that, it will likely be one of the first PS+ AAA games, which Sony will use to leverage family interest in the PS4.
