Maybe people like things they are not forced to buy :)

Spoiled westerners acting like ANYONE is 'forced to buy' a video game system.

Well you are forced to buy the Kinect if you just want an X1. That's what I meant.

Yeah I get you but that's like saying you are 'forced to buy a powerful GPU if you want a PS4.' It's a feature that many people are excited about, and the main differentiator for the X1.

With the exception that the APU of the PS4 is the reason why people are buying the PS4 and the Kinect is not for the X1. To be honest, I don't get the people genuinely not wanting the Kinect. I mean I can understand that they want to pay less but having a grudge against a piece of add-on hardware is just silly.

That's like saying I won't buy the PS4 until they unbundle the crappy mono "headset".

KINECT IS SHIT MEHMEEEEEE. Oh wow, ps4 has a camera O.o INSTA BUY ! 


What the heck is that?

 

OT: Those are great sales. Playroom streaming so far has been a killer app, but hopefully camera features in games will be popular among consumers as well.

Right? Like what was that all about lol

 

OT

Good sales for the camera!

Because Knack.


It's offical, Knack is the best Playstation character in history ever since Crash Bandicoot (PS1 era)!

the mono head set costs about a buck though...

...basically these numbers are telling us that 15% of xbone buyers are happy to have kinect.  the other 85% wants their $100 back.

aka, happy ps4 owner.  xD

Kinect 2.0 is decimating PS Camera sales, they should've packed it in like our lord Xbox did.

yes, a component nneeded to have the system perform is exactly like bundling an add on and increasing the baseline of the core system

That's why I said people who didn't like Kinect. I've seen people who genuinely didn't want Kinect. It was not about the price, just that they didn't like the tech and the fact that it was forcefully bundled. You know, like the PS4 headset is forcefully bundled ;)

There are people out ther like that and I think they're silly and/or liars.

That comment plus considering last thread about Ps4 vs XB1 is painting a pattern for the OP. Starting to think he is trying to poke a hornets nest

KINECT IS SHIT MEHMEEEEEE. Oh wow, ps4 has a camera O.o INSTA BUY ! 

The PlayStation Camera for the PlayStation 4 is currently "severely supply constrained," Sony's Chris Norden said today during a presentation at the Game Developers Conference.

Norden, a senior staff developer support engineer at Sony, said the company underestimated demand for the peripheral. He also revealed that the camera has an attach rate of around 15 percent--that's about 900,000 units. The PS4 has sold 6 million units.

The PlayStation Camera is proving hard to find, as it's sold out as numerous retailers. Norden said "please be patient," as Sony works to replenish supply, though it's not clear when more units will be available.

Unlike the Xbox One's camera, the Kinect, the PlayStation 4 Camera is not included with PS4 units. It is sold separately for $60, though GameStop recently raised its price by $10 to $70.

 

Moderated - Kresnik.

Moderated for what?  Was anyone affended by this?

Fixed.
