Well, for one, the 360 actually have to be dominating to continue to keep dominating.:|

XboximusPrime

To be fair, its kinda domianting the PS3 right now

Not Wii though and PS3 is closer than it ever was I too like Kinect that is something totally different than Wii and Move controls and will buy it day one though, so indeed MS has a huge weapon in their hand The casual lineup though, makes me think that they dont know how to really use it and could get self stubbed to death with it They need a real gamer consult their marketing team i guess, should focus on both casual and hardcore, otherwise Kinect will be dismissed by 80% of their install base, which is not casuals i guess

The Wii is "dominating" this generation. The 360 is running a neck to neck race with the PS3 and may will lose once their individual races come to an end. So just horrible thread title use I guess...

[QUOTE="Miroku32"][QUOTE="FIipMode"]When did it start dominating? Silverbond

That is what I have been wondering. The 360 is dominating only in the United States but worldwide the ps3 is winning.

What are you basing that on?

Simple math.

--Microsoft's worldwide 360 sales in fiscal 2009 (April 1, 2009 - March 31, 2010): 8.8 million

[40.2 million sold as of March 31, 2010 - 31.4 million sold as of March 31, 2009] - link

--Sony's worldwide PS3 sales in fiscal 2009 (April 1, 2009 - March 31, 2010): 13 million - link

To put it another way:

By March 31, 2010, 360 sales stood at 40.2 million and PS3 at 35.7. If sales remain even relatively constant the PS3 will be ahead of the 360 next year in worldwide sales. Period, end of story.

If we're using sales, shouldn't we be saying Nintendo is dominating?

One word. Kinect.

Its going to provide revolutionary gameplay that no other console on the market is attempting to bring. River Rafting. Dodgeball. Milo. Kinectamals. Dance Masters (very exercise). Need I say more?

Pretty sure the PS2 brought this... It's just like a super upgraded version of the PS Eye...

Uhh can the PS Eye do this?

uh yes the EYE Toy and the PS Eye can already do that

As mentioned in the news story about kinect failing I posted aboutthe impact kinect would have on the Wii and why it's going to fail

I hope Natal fails because Microsoft's not going at it in the right way. Instead of focusing on the casual market first they should have created more games that would be fun for the casual and hardcore gamers. They should have used a character that the casuals would like and the hardcore would like too like Banjo. They should have followed what nintendo did with NSMB Wii and make a game that's kinda hard,but easy to get into. If you also add in the insane cost for the peripherial and the system then there's a 50% chance of this failing.

I could do all of these either outside or in a gym, why would I want to river raft without actually being in water.

Dodgeball is really fun in real life... in a small box, IDK.

A lot of Kinect games are kinda sports games that are much more fun doing in real life than on a small living room. Getting shot at by a bunch of aliens/soldiers in real life, not so much.
