[QUOTE="nintendo-4life"][QUOTE="W1NGMAN-"] Didn't know there was a set amount of time for when something can be considered a Fad or not :/W1NGMAN-

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?

... no :|.

I'm pretty none of them even know what it is or how terrible it is. I'd be happy if I was one of them too, simply because I'm getting something for free.

Also, the wild cheering started right after she said "free Xbox 360..," you could barely even hear that she said they were also getting a Kinect.

Oprah's motto in life: "Give away cars to fat people who lose weight". Brilliant. :P

If i had her money i wouldn't give cars to fat people. I'll become Batman. 8)

lol @ everyone saying "its free stuff, of course they're excited."

Hey, I really don't want my boogers anymore. Want them? They are free!

You feeling excited yet?

EDIT:

I've also noticed everyone who comes up with a "theory" why they are excited, has a PS3-related sig/ and or avatar.

A $200 piece of technology is much more significant than your "boogers," and they started cheering wildly before she even said they would get Kinect with it.

Oprah viewers are 90% middle-aged women. I doubt even 50% of then even know what the hell Kinect is.

It's official then, the Xbox 360's new target audience is stay-at-home moms who watch Oprah.

It's not something I'd be proud of, but we are talking about 360 fanboys here.

The Wii fad is finally coming to an end ... Kinect is the start of a new Era :twisted:

W1NGMAN-

A fad doesn't last 4 years.

Didn't know there was a set amount of time for when something can be considered a Fad or not :/

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

They act crazy when they're given anything. Any audience in the history of man does this. Did you also know there is an "applause" sign at these shows?

again..microsoft will spend more money advertising rubbish than building quality. they dont seem to have too much confidence in the product..hence the reason they spending 1billion dollars to market kinect and windows 7
