They act crazy!!! I have a feeling kinect will be huge despite my negative attitudes towards motion gaming. Hmm, good news for MS tho.

Pretty much. Kinect will be a success no doubt. But this not the appropriate evidence to show it.

I'm pretty sure Oprah could hand members of her audience a dog turd and they'd act crazy; it's a result of being brain washed rather than excited.

MS paid to take the Jon Stewart audience to Washington D.C and gave the entire audience of Oprah's a XBOX and Kinect. Not bad.

Because outselling the other two consoles (almost combined if I remember correctly), being one of the two consoles this gen to get an AAAAE, and a bunch of other stuff on top of that, is a fad. :roll: :P

Actually there is. When a console reaches a full generation while doing incredibly well you know it's not a fad.

So you mean to tell me people were happy about being given something for free? Not trying to undercut Kinect, but that's hardly concrete proof of it's future success.

And everyone in this audience will be going home with...a stick! *audience goes crazy*. They'll go nuts over anything she gives them. The fact that Kinect is on Oprah is laughable. Kinect isn't for gamers.

What? :lol: People get excited over free stuff regardless of what it is (most of the time). No one's claiming that it's not because Kinect isn't good, it's just that it's no surprise. And don't make assumptions. ;)

I was actually watching the show and here's the break down. Oprah was on the Jon Stewart show with Steve Colbeit to support their Bring Sanity Back rally. Oprah gave the Jon Stewart show audience airplane fare and hotel accommendation to attend the Jon Stewart/Steve Colbeit rally. It turns out that Microsft helped Oprah with that. So Oprah in return gave her audience Xbox 360s and Kinect and a huge advertisement boost. Force cheer or not, the Kinect is getting the hella advertisement.

And I'm pretty sure then you'd be one the "damage controlling." Just because people disagree with TC doesn't make it DC.

Actually there is. When a console reaches a full generation while doing incredibly well you know it's not a fad.

But what if Wii2 or WiiHD falls flat on it's face, wouldn't that be an indication that the Wii was merely a fad and people have moved on from it?
