lol hypocrites

It's called giving consumers choice. People respect you more if you don't treat them like garbage. 

And this is why I find 5.5 millions XB1's sold to be sad. Treat me like garbage and I'll tell you to go to Hell.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Great sales and all but Sony really don't know how to keep a gimmick like this going to it's full potential. They should be releasing a playroom type game/expansion every month. I don't have a camera so I don't know but have they update the playroom thing at all?

I just don't get how they can sell so much camera's and not provide the software. Will never bother me but jesus christ from a business point of view they are not doing it right!

pricedrop form 60 bucks to 40

2013 and early 2014 some idiots payed 100 bucks and still said kinect sucks :D

Not the same people. Kinect does suck, but it was mostly because you had no choice about it. Also the PS Camera was never more than 60 bucks.



They indeed had the better plan.

there was a time it was sold form third party vendors on mazon for 100 bucks or something.

and they bought that stuff, because the camera was even harder to get than the ps4 itself

My kids beg me for the camera all the time. I don't see a point in it. That little robot game looks dumb. Do you just beat the shit out of them or something?

Yup, and the big floaty robot will shoot back or freeze you. The Kids enjoyed it was for a few days, camera has been unplugged since then. I bought it near release, it was only $50 and should work with vr and the move controllers I still have. For now it just sits there waiting. The video quality is very nice anyway.

those people were suckers alright. it wasn't sony doing it however so it has no reflection on the product. Sony were very smart giving the consumer a choice and not forcing it on them. They did their market research right :) 



So maybe MS's market research was right about there being demand from gamers for kinect type of device. Bundling it with X1 wasn't a terrible idea.
