you guys think is just that easy. You cater to the mass market and you make money... If it were that easy Nintendo wouldn't be having the issues that they are having right now with the Wii U. Because is not just about deciding that you're going casual or not but about if that product you make is gonna appeal to them. No matter how you want to see it at the end is still a gamble.

People already seen, own or played the Kinect so what makes you think that it (2.0) will be a success again? There are too many variables but to me Sony's doing all the right moves. They are mixing the social aspect with traditional gaming, and casual gaming/move/PS eye is on the side. Meanwhile I bet M$ are gonna do the same thing but instead of focusing on traditional gaming their focus will be: casual, social aspect and then the traditional on the side (mostly from 3rd party's and the sporadic Halo game).

Gue1
In terms of Kinect, if its a success as a second device, which it financially and commercially is, then the next Kinect which will be standard sold with the 720 will have a great chance at further success, especially with the better tech this time. Again, I won't guarantee it, but it stands to reason if some of the Kinect fans return and have a better model, and if the developers unlock better, smarter experiences I think it will do very well. For the gamers that don't like or support Kinect thats fine as they don't have to use it in Core games. LIke in Mass Effect, its a option, not a standard.

[QUOTE="Heil68"][QUOTE="SecretPolice"]Whelp, even this current gen with the MS console offering 360 degrees of living room entertainment didn't seem to slow game sales and in fact the overwhelming evidence points to games sales being much higher on 360 the that PS3, ya know, that core, nuttin but saweet exclusives and still, 360 software trounced it - eh, remember you can always call it third place instead of last place if it makes ya feel better.

Thank you Sony. :P

Yea, thanks MS for letting 3rd party carry your machines, I'm just waiting to get my hands on all those superior multi plats..oh wait :roll: I guess sales is something when you dont have games. :P

I dunno, I've got mah Halo & Forza which are the top of their class yet most of my gaming time for the last few months was spent with Borderlands 2 :shock: so sue me but I don't care if multi or not, great gaming is great gaming and other than Next X launch titles, mah most anticipated games by a wide margin are South Park RPG, Bioshock I & GTA5 :o and I bet if you'd be honest, they're yours as well, who woulda thunk it. :P

I know, Halo/Forza/Gears, where have I heard that before? hmmmm Once you play multi plats on PC its tough to go back. In fact I tried sleeping Dogs recently on 360, after having played it on PC and I couldn't play it, it was such a blurry mess. I am getting GTAV and Bioshock on 360, since it doeskin have any games to play.

Hey man, off topic but lemme ask you or anyone else who'd like to chime in something about BL2 - I've used my gold key before but would always just see what it was in the box and then just turn the 360 off so as not to save. :twisted: But yesterday, I got my main guy up to level 50 and right when I was about to quite gaming for the day, I opened the chest, there was a saweet level 50 purple launcher there but I really want a orange level 50 shield so I turned the 360 off only to find later that day, this time it recorded me using the gold key and now have no gold key and didn't take the launcher to boot. :cry: :cry:

Did GB just change soemthing so as to prevent sneaks like me from doing what I was doing and why did I not hear about this crap. :P

Wow! That sucks. I haven't played the game since TheErocia and I had problems with continuing the missions. He was able to get one of the missions to advance though, but I've kind of lost interest in the game. :( I wouldn't put anything by GB, what they did with Aliens is a real shame and i'm not really interested in anything they make now.

I had suspected Live to be more thorough--likely a higher price and monthly fee--but I think gamers just want games these days.

I just lol @ stuff like this.Ā  MS hasn't even shown the thing off yet, and the people telling us to buy AIG in 2005 now claim victory for an XBox.

Ā 

Derp.

Anything that promises service revenue as opposed to games will give these types of people a chubber.Ā  They want you to pay more for less.

TV Tuner and Skype are killer app............. :lol: :lol: :lol:hippiesanta

Exactly my thoughts.

If anything, it will be the PS4 and PC bombasticating this generation.

lmao the crazy thing is u may be right but it's only because the quality of games on consoles has dropped off significantly. the games made today can literally be beat and mastered in 8-10 hrs. it's no fun anymore
