Oh no, not again? They need to take their time if it is going to turn out like the 360 hardware (First GEN)

I imagine it doing about as well as the Wii balance board, if you add up the ratio diference of consoles sold.Fried_Shrimp

The topic I had in mind was leaning more towards hardware quality, there are enough threads on Move/Kinect vs Wiimote

i always stand up when i play games anyway. makes me more alert

my guess it will have an amazingly low defect rate since nobody will buy it. no customers = no complaints

not being able to control a movie while sitting is... DUMB

and who gets to be the first person to tell disabled Billy that he can't play kinect because he's in a wheelchair?

Playing forza with kinect is very realistic :D

Btw. can you scan steering wheel shaped object and use it in kinect forza? Like they showed that video were the kid scanned that skateboard. It was probably another bullcrap from microsoft.

No, their problem is that they are releasing Kinect in the first place.

Nohtnym

that was just taking a picture of his skateboard so conceptually he could use it in a game

i don't recall him actually standing on the skateboard... that'd be hella dangerous in a living room

Why I have a feeling that patch will be Kinect DLC and costs money :P

Also vinegar_strokes nice damage control hahaha :lol:

Sounds like this will only be for kids and people who want to do exercise and dance. Well it might not be as big of a hit as I thought if this is true.

Actually I do like to exercise but I tend to go to the gym. Also this thread is more LOL worthy than I originally thought, great comments

Maybe it will come with one of these:

it already wasn't going to be as big of a hit because it's excluding people over the age of 65 by being so active, and the older demographic bought a LOT of wii's

(step into any retirement home/assisted living/etc. and you'll find a wii)

This whole KINECT crap is an epic fail.:P

first it couldnt pick up black people. now this. fanboys need to stop bashing it and wait till its out

Maybe it's black people need to be sitting, but white people need to stand?

Is that 149.99 price for real or just rumors?Bread_or_Decide

Just rumors, the retail chain websites have listed it for that price but nothing has been confirmed by MS
