KINECT... "Watch the train wreck in action"

Sorry if old.. but this peripheral does not deliver. It is admirable to defend your platform through the good bad times, but core xbox gamers should really throw in the towel now.

Way to butcher a beloved franchise, MS...

Yet it sold 10 million units

cause of 1 game?

there has been lots of positive reviews about kinect games.

"I played many great Kinect games at E3, such as the sublime Gunstringer and the goofy Fruit Ninja Kinect. The peripheral has a lot to offer gamers, especially when it's put in the hands of gifted developers who see the motion controls for what they are: a challenge to be met with novel mechanics"

At stopped reading at that point and went to another thread.

10 million isn't that much. Move has sold 8.8 million, and that's also complete garbage lol.hexashadow13

move sales are combining the move bundle or how many people own the move which is half of Kinect more like 5 million, and the glowball controller, so those numbers you are quoting and how you are quoting are kinda misleading. Sorry Kinect did so well, I know you were saying it would be an ultimate failure and now you are singing a different tune, a little scorned tunage.

[QUOTE="MrSelf-Destruct"] How about a link? That number only represents the bundles, not stand alone controllers or eyetoys. Also, the Kinect actually sold a few million more 10, but Sony didn't spend 500 million dollars on an ad campaign. MrSelf-Destruct

its ok just wanted to give you the link because you are always so quick to defend sony and bash MS, so there you go =D haha

Because quantity equals quality... oh wait.

That's the game, not Kinect itself. I love Kinect. It's a killer peripheral which has one a world record for selling so fast. Kinect itself is a genius idea and Microsoft is desperatelly trying to bring some support to it. That's why they're focusing so much on it. They want it to be the basis for Xbox and they don't want to leave the already 10 million+ users in the cold.riariases

What about leaving the other 45 million Xbox console owners who don't have a Kinect out in the cold?

Why cause a core gamers opinion is stronger than a casual gamers? OHHH wait.

Yes it must be Kinect...Lucas Arts has a long history of building one killer game after another without ever making a dud. :roll:

ok im sure and you have some move owners who have four controller but its really one unit, either way, its fudged numbers and not concrete like Kinects, expect this gap to widen for sure in Kinects favor regardless and this is with Move having a 2 month headstart over Kinect. Pachter was the one that said about half or 40 percent of the number was how many actually move units count. So my point is definitely backed up, yours is quite not valid.

well lets stay on subject, but no MS never had that kind of mess Sony had...

the "train wreck" has already sold 10 million and its games have been getting good reviews. kinect sports for example...7.5...as good as infamous 2 :lol:

[QUOTE="tormentos"] Because it was not a big deal,hackers stole ids from ever where,just recently google was hit,MS has been hit,countless sites had been hit,nothjing is 100% safe online and that includes the wii and 360.tormentos

windows is a platform. PSN is a network, this has never happened to MS, not even close, are you following?

The kinect technology just isnt there yet...When its finally here, then I think it can really work but until then its really just an expensive eye toy.

What?

Microsoft Network Hacked, FBI involved.

Hacking on big corporations happens ALL the time, you just never hear about it because we are on a videogame forum.

either way you cant hide behind that 8.8 million number, its less than actual move owners, its counting the controller, either way Kinect is winning and that gap will widen, Move is nothing compared to Kinect, tell me one game made specifically designed for the MOVe that compares to the 3 million sales of Kinect Sports, or the 2 million of Dance central, come on man.... Its a massacre out there.
