is it me or are microsoft literally after nintendo now.

More like desperation at this point.

Really, MS is just being stupid. They need to do one thing really well and focus on that instead of half hearted attempts at everything. IMO, they are really lacking any type of leadership right now. Without a captain at the helm, the ship is going astray.


 They should definitely employ you. The forum moderator will lead the multi-billion enterprise with an MBE winning research department to greater success.

 

Brings a tear to my eye.

Kinda like their failure at "Scene it". This will sale a couple hundred and that's it. They need to realize that you cannot copy Nintendo at this point and beat them. They must instead beat Nintendo to the next punch. Whatever that may be.



lol didn't Malstrom note that Microsoft would be running and gunning like this against the business model of Nintendo... wow jeez that guy was smart... bet he could predict the next 13 years based on what he knows.



I'm Unamerica and you can too.

 I don't think they (MS) are creative enough to do that.  Im not saying that other compaines don't do this, but MS thrives off copying ideas and then improving them, they rarely come up with something revolutionary on their own.

I bet DDR is more of a workoud than WiiFit. DDR just doesn't keep track of your progress.

i have it for both ps2 and 360, and yes it does track your progress. if you put it on difficult and expert, then it is a really good workout. it has a workout mode where it you enter your weight, and it calculates how many calories you burn depending on the difficulty and the song. it just doesn't do all the really technical stuff the wii fit board does.

but ddr is not even an xbox franchise, it's a multiplatform game which has been out since ps1 days.




Copying can work, Apple is a master at it. I remember in a Steve Jobs speech, he said in order to dethrone a market leader you have to be 10x as good.



copying can work, ripping off is a different story though. i think there's a difference.




So first MS is taking the wii-mote

and now trying to do this fitness thing?

Wow. Microsoft needs to come up with their own ideas.



I dont know what to think, times change, trend changes... you have two choices, died with your ideas or move along the trends... microsoft is choosing the second one.
