So, where are all the Kinect naysayers now?

Except for Dance Central, the current Kinect catalogue is bad to mehtastic.

Wow, seems like the naysayers do have short memories. I wonder how many cows have been served to them since Kinect released? Lol

Alright a couple things.

I said people who think that a lot of people said Kinect will fail are delusional, you gave me a whopping 7 links, please don't tell me you think that's a lot.

And on top of that, a couple of those links don't even have the thread maker saying Kinect will fail.

TheXFiles, that's just trolling or 12 year old "LOLOL FLOPZ"

They don't really count as there was 0 reasoning behind their statement to back it up, same with those who say 3DS will be the next Virtual Boy, or that it "failed" which is factually false.

Ok let me rephrase it: Amongst the reliable and non fanboys, the consensus was that it would sell ;p

Upon it's release a lot of people on this forum were bashing the Kinect, but in the end Microsoft proved them all wrong and made them eat their words.

According to Wikipedia... Kinect holds the Guiness World Record of being the "fastest selling consumer electroncs device".

It sold an average of 133,333 units per day with a total of 8 million units in its first 60 days.

10 million units of the Kinect sensor have been shipped as of March 9, 2011.

TheMadGamer

Who cares about number of units sold anyway? Where are the games?

Still here.

Own a 360 but have no intrest in Kinect really just see it as a gimmick.

...a lot of interesting and good games though are coming soon that will appeal to more hardcore gamers.

A list of them can be found HERE

TheMadGamer

This must be a new way of using the words "interesting" and "good" that I was previously unaware of.

I knew the Kinect would sell well. I also knew that the games would be mostly shovelware and crap. Since I used the word "mostly" I am completely correct until proven otherwise. ;)MrSelf-Destruct

As I've said before, whatever potential Kinect has, it isn't as a game controller.

probably not xD would rather have a Hori Flight stick at that kinda dosh :P

No doubt and I'd say after this E3 showing, many will try and make fun out of it for SW purposes but will secretly run out and buy one for themselves. :shock:

:P

*raises hand* i still think it sucks and should die...

I thought the Xbox platform was all about the games and not the sales?

Nah the consensus was that Kinect would outsell Move.

Don't remember talks about it being a failiure in terms of sales.

SuperFlakeman

Probably off laughing about Kinect games taking over the 360's line up._Cadbury_

Most of those people didn't back up their statements with reasoning, they where just flat statements: It's a flop.

No discussion, no argument, just "imo", they don't count.

Well there was the pricetag, but as most of the non fanboys and sane people predicted, it didn't matter as the system had a very attractive mass market selling point coupled with a massive marketing budget.

That's the recipe of success.

Edit 3 (lol): And the fact that MS is a very compotent company, which means no way they would screw this up.

I've seen enough Giantbomb and youtube video's to determine that Kinect does not function well.

Eh... nobody really doubted Kinects sales potential at all. It was the software. We wanted compelling software to go with the new tech. Can you post some links to some great games built for Kinect?

Wiimotefan

Sure it sold great but where are the games?

where are all the naysayers now?

probably not caring.

Kinect is for people who like exercise and dance games. I have not interest jumping and swinging my arms like a lunatic. I prefer to play with a controller and have not interest in ever purchasing a Kinect.

kinect sales were also high due to the cheaper bundle. its total cost for that bundle made it seem kinect came free with it. i think it was around £200

Ummm...no games that I care about for this thing so I don't care. Bread_or_Decide

The question remains: Can you make a great game with deep gameplay without having any buttons? Because I can see Move/Wii one day playing Oblivion or Demons Souls like games, where you use the motion controller to swing your weapon, block, cast spells....and have the buttons to manage inventory and crap like that.

Were you talking about the Move or the Sixasis? Talking about the Sixasis, as I recall most of the Sony fanboys calling it as the second coming of Christ and it would revolutionized the gaming world forever? How was it turned out then? Now the cows have the Move which can be used as an ice scream cone. See Mom, it changes colors. Lol.
