The funny part is all the cows trying to downplay it. If the roles were reversed and Move was doing this good you know they would be singing a different tune. I do not own Kinect or plan to own one at this time but I am not a hater also. People seem to love it so power to them

It's amazing what $500,000,000 worth of brainwashing can do.Messiahbolical-

[QUOTE="Mozelleple112"]

Old news? Or am I from the future, cos I knew for like a month now that Kinect has sold 8 million units.

Come on now. Not only was PDZ overrated by Gamespot even for it's time(81 metascore, which is sad since standards hadn't even been established for the gen yet as it was a launch title) but it's 5 and a half years old now while Resistance 2 is 2 and a half years old... Do you really think they're equal? :?

Meh, I'll give it to you anyways. But where's PDZ2 then? We've already had Resistance 1 + 2 and Resistance 3 on the way. So where's PDZ 2 + 3? to match up?

Just face it, the 360 only has 1 great exclusive FPS franchise while the PS3 has 2. And on top of that, there's still a lot of genres there that Microsoft hasn't matched Sony on. I know you probably don't care, and either to I to some extent... but you can't say quality over quantity if the PS3 has just as much(sometimes more) quality exclusives in almost every genre WITH more quantity.

Now you're getting a bit desperate if you have to resort to using 7.5 games to prove a point... What's next? 6.0 games? lol I thought we were comparing the cream of the crop here... the games that people buy the console for.

But if you REALLY want, we can bring the flops into this too.

Lair 4.5 > Nothing :P

I'm not trying to prove a point, I'm listing stuff. It's quite fun. But what's wrong? Is there a rule against listing AE's in this listing game you came up with?

Idk, why not? Is there a rule against listing flops now? :PMessiahbolical-

Okay, but you listed Lair, which is a PS3 flop. Am I supposed to list 360 flops now?

[QUOTE="rybe1025"][QUOTE="Sollet"] What's more funny is that you do the exact thing when it comes to Sony's products.

Sollet

Is that supposed to be a lot considering there's Microsoft and a half a billion dollar campaign behind it?

Finding a flop that the PS3 has no answer for is gonna be difficult, maybe even impossible.

I did when I first got it and for a month or two after but there isn't much else to do with it until new games come out

What's with all the people in this thread implying the $500 million achieved nothing and that people bought Kinect for other reasons?

Oh so you think Kinect isn't cool and those who think it is are brainwashed. Says you? Please stop insulting people because not all are idiots who believe anything that's said on the ads. Many of my friends think Kinect is very cool and they haven't seen an ad from it. We live in Philippines. They saw it from the internet and not the ads but from E3 2010 and demo videos. Anyway, what i'm originally referring to is people having "fun" with Kinect. Do you think they were brainwashed? If they're having fun with Kinect then ads no longer matter. Ads are there to deceive yes but once you got the product and you're satisfied with it, it doesn't matter. BTW, what's amazing to others might not be amazing to you so please keep your opinions and preferences with you. I wouldn't be surprised if you start "preaching" how gimmicky and uncool Kinect is to other people claiming you're this someone who knows the "truth" and other people are being "brainwashed". lollordlors

And who knows, I could be proven wrong and look stupid eventually. Some day Kinect might have a lot of good games and turn out to be a quality product. You never know. Look at the Wii. Remember how many people bought into the hype early on? I'd never seen so much buyers regret from people buying a product in my life. But now it has a pretty good library of games and turned out to be a quality product overall and lot of people are happy with it.

If Microsoft DOES prove me wrong and turns Kinect into something great and positive(or at least non-affecting) for the core gamer experience on the 360... I'll gladly admit it. Right now it seems as if they're simply focusing on Kinect and shafting their core gamers in the process by not releasing many first party exclusives this year though... that's just my opinion.

Kinect is pretty fun when playing with a group of people. I've never had a problem with it being too slow to read my body movements or anything like that.

I actually have a kinect, only complaint I have is my space is limited because of all the stuff I have, and you need alot of room to enjoy the kinect.

My GF's bro's have one as well, and it's in their living rooms and it's a much better experience having that much room to play.

ACTUALLY you implied it. "they spend all that money on brainwashing advertisements to cash in on the casuals."" And then later that they convinced people it was cool. Both make it pretty clear. Ad's are brainwashing, Microsoft ad's are specially brainwashing...and Microsoft succeeded in brainwashing people...therefor all people whom buy it are brainwashed.WilliamRLBaker

Ugh. I wish Move has this much sales
