Right, and I argued that your prediction is ridiculous and speculated that it will not actually happen.  Now I'll just let reality and the passage of time take care of the rest.

 



We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai

It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps

We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick

Your signature is rediculous... Wii is a fad, ya, right, whatever.

Btw, what did I predict? I wondered, I speculated about a camera interface but I never did actually predict that they would do such a thing. You know why? Lack of supporting evidence.

 



Tease.

there is a toon of these so called camera sensor devices and they all fails when it comes to controlling most games.
How are you supposed to walk in an fps game ?????
if you use the arms for grenades and weapon.
Microsoft would probably never be able to sell something like this because of sonys eye toy.
On the best track is nintendo with its controllers when it comes to this.
And especially the new motion plus.
its not perfect on the wii as i think they could have added some more buttons.
and yet again microsoft cant do an game pad with gyros because of sony and they cant copy nintendo as they sue anyone doing an controller that looks like theres.
It would probably make me play my 360 more if they could have some gyros in its gamepad.
to also make it how you controll your game next gen and not only the visuals.
Dont ask me why but i like my wii more then my 360 just because of how you control your games.
Alot of 360 fanboys keeps on saying that the wii sucks because its not an hd console.
But then do you think the 360 would still exist if the wii whas an hd console ?????



Its about the games not the hardware well ???????

The technology behind it is great but the outcome looks a bit crap to be honest. I much prefer M$ surface, having a second screen with touch interface as a replacement to a remote is something i would much rather over this.



It's like sinha wants no new advancements to the 360 for some reason.... I think this would be a great addition and would renew interest quite a bit!
