wow, i think i just witnessed the death of video games R.I.P, first the wii, now the kinect, what's next, video game morphine with a mario painted syrenge? man back in my day we had the SNES, so much better than this crap.
The Wii is a solid system, and having Oprah endorse Kinect was a good move.
It just sucks that it'll popularize Kinect as a peripheral and help it's sales -- which i'm not averse to, should the peripheral turn out to be worthwhile (which is looking unlikely).
Jeez, I wish people would stop crying about this. Gaming isn't dead. There is just another piece of hardware out there for you not to buy. It isn't all about you.
He means that motion controls is killing gaming.johny300
In the "worst" case scenario I see a lemming genocide for the next couple of years lol (like sheep this past years) Theare are too many core games, too many being released across all platforms

its not like any one that owns a gaming system watches oprahelbert_b_23
That's the point. Do you really think M$ is trying to get gamers to buy Kinect? No, they are doing what Nitny did with the Wii and that's going for the non gamers.

Agreed. These arguments are very annoying. who's arguing? man wake the **** up, how can we just let these companies sell us out like this, seriously. im prolly responsible for 30% of Nintendo's profits from 1988-1994
b-b-b-but Nintendo was supposed to kill the gaming industry, not extend its absolute brilliance to the lesser gaming companies :( The Wii is a fad and motion gaming will die out soon :( Sony would never copy Nintendo in motion gaming, right :( And people moved to lesser consoles to keep themselves entirely away from motion gaming to not be embarrassed amirite? Because Wii owners get the last laugh. Ha. HA. HAAAA!

yeah, but i wonder how sony would play their games if they released it before the wii... You know because the move didnt have a nunchuck, it was just an eyetoy with a glowball stick controller.
I think thats the main issue here, they still copied the wiimote, without it you wouldnt be able to move your character.. and that probably why sony released the eyetoy alone, without the move controller, they didnt think it could be used in real gaming.
God forbid someone makes something that isn't for you. Forget trying to sell gaming to people outside of the Male 14-25 demographic thats fools talk. Only sell games to me. QQ more.
One look at any cereal aisle should tell you there is always room for growth in any market without alienating your original demographic. I still eat, love and buy plain corn flakes.
Gamers are the only group of consumers that look at more options as a bad thing. Fools.

they don't sell Mr. T cereal anymore Why would they? He's no longer relevant. And if anything Mr. T cereal would be the kinect of cereals.
It was nothing more than a capt crunch knock off anyway.

They still make other types of games that I enjoy. get over it.

Gaming is dead when no one plays video or PC games anyone. It has not happened regardless of whether the direction of gaming is towards a broad demographics or a niche group.
Jeez, I wish people would stop crying about this. Gaming isn't dead. There is just another piece of hardware out there for you not to buy. It isn't all about you.

gaming isn't dead but it is slowy dying. And i do agree with with Kinect + Oprah is a good move.
Gaming isn't dead,its just moving away from where it should go. People are focusing to musch on the systems, less on the games. Kinectic will never be well aplied in to a pratical (practical, as in good)game, and thats as far as we should care. I have stuck with Nintendo, because of the games.The only thing i care about on a system is that each generation is better than the last, that it has good online, and that you can see something on the screen.:D
O also, any one who wants to startattacking me for being a Nintendogamer Know this: Anyone who says The gamesfor Nintendo are not good enoughto justify the system has never played a game on the systmes, and has therefore never had a childhood.
If Kinect flops, at least you can't say MS didn't try. I could care less about it, but MS is hitting all the main venues to entice the casual market. A good word by Oprah can make or break an author with her book club thing. Don't think that her giving Kinect some good publicity can't do the same thing.
its not like any one that owns a gaming system watches oprahelbert_b_23
But their kids do. You seriously think all of the Oprah viewers (the unknown millions of them) would want a 360 for themselves? Hell no... the free gift are going to be given as gifts for the holidays, and the viewers that werent at the show, just got an idea of what to get little timmy for the holidays as well. You are clearly to young to understand what Oprah does for the average soccer mom. Whatever gets endorsed on her show sells in the 10s of millions.
