As an Xbone hater, I hope it dies.

As an Xbone lover, dropping it killed its potential and it's annoying how the haters made it this way. They won't buy the console anyways without a Kinect.

The haters won this gen, people.

It's not our fault MS has failed to produce one blockbuster, non-party title. At the very least, something that promises the future of innovated and interactive gaming. Nope, they gave us dance games galore and a shit ton of voice command. It also made the console $100 unnecessarily for a device nobody really asked for or wanted, albeit some customers are happy with it (a small minority)

MS had no faith on Kinect selling on its own after it failed to produce any real games on the 360, despite its amazing sales. Lastly, they gave people a choice, with or without. That sounds like a plus to most consumers looking for a next gen console, at a competitive price.

Hate, hate, hate.

Not gonna lie, I forgot about the Kinect entirely, since after E3 till this thread. Granted I forgot about the PS EyeCamera too, but to call it dead is an understatement imo.

32X was a bigger success than Kinect. At least that had a fun shooter, some good 3D arcade ports and a fun 2D platformer.

I hope you are not talking about Knuckles' Chaotix!

Knuckles Chaotix is awesome :P



I LOVE ICELAND!

I mean yeah this is obvious, and considering the sales aren't going up I feel the unbundling was a massive mistake.

Exactly there are two sides to the argument as to why Kinect failed thsi time:

1) Not everyone wants it, and most see it as a forced waste of money.

2) If it isn't a gimmick than it is MS' job to prove it.  I was blown away at E3 2013 that they didn't have a single AAA Kinect exclusive.  Forcing Ryse to not use it was beyond idiotic.  So yes it was only a gimmick because even MS only used  it as one.

There has to be more.

It's like a Sonic game, but with a twist.

nothing wrong with it. It's a cool spinoff.

well my Kinect 1 my Kinect 2 wifey, me and almost anyone I know with an XBO with Kinect desagree... since they run every day and are for a big part the main input source on the Xbox one/360 when not gaming....

The amount of "haters" is quite small. So small infact, that they don't even matter. The reason Kinect failed is because on the whole, no one cared.
