Will Microsoft Kinect be canned?

Based on all the negative feedback this thing is getting, I can't help but wonder.

I don't think so.

Can you link me to some of this negative feedback please?

No, seeing as how it'll sell more than Twilight's unpublished manuscript highlighting Edward's bi-curious phase.

it kinda works...as long as they drop the price quickly...assuming it starts @ $149.99, most peps will buy it as navigation control for the dashboard...HURRAY FOR LAZY PEPS! it would have to be in $70 to $50 range though...

I just think the initial prospect for Kinect is not measuring up. Can't play sitting down? Only 2 players? So how does this thing scan objects into 360 games? Why was that not featured at this years E3? That must have been thrown out the window? Where was the interactive AI shown at E3 09? The most interesting parts of Kinect, which you'd think would be stressed at this years E3, were nowhere to be seen. Why? Because they were probably dropped, due to cost. I just find it odd that, with the release date fast approaching, its most positive aspects were not shown.

Also, it is my understanding that an Amazon pre order can be cancelled at anytime. People just like to possibly guarantee getting something.

No it won't be canceled.

..... Again, can you link me to some negative feedback please?

Thank you for giving me your opinion but Im more interested in this supposed negative feedback its getting elsewhere.

I don't really mean articles, perhaps a bad choice of words. I feel Microsoft is using very devious marketing tactics. People on this site have been shown features here and there, but really, nobody knows or has seen it really do any of the claims. I take that as negative.

So...... You meant your negative feedback...?

Edit your OP then.

The thing has no audience on 360. I won't be surprised if it sinks like the Titanic.Parasomniac

..and yet its no.2 on Amazon, just because hardcore gamers didnt like it, doesnt mean there isn't another audience for it,

Based on all the negative feedback this thing is getting, I can't help but wonder.

Not whilst it's #2 on Amazon US's preorder chart (behind the new 360).

Seems to be a lot of demand for it.Ravensmash

Well, of course it is, because it's new. But how will it hold up in like, 6 months down the road?

And Amazon =/= The World.

Me either. Only those that are very foolish & blind would buy it. It needs to flop badly so that Microsoft can get back to making core games for the 360. It's the hardcores who made them popular for this gen, not the casuals.

In a way, that is what I'm getting at. There ARE NO FACTS about this product. You really don't feel a negative connotation with a product that has been shown to do things, but may or may not do them?

[QUOTE="violent_spinal"]

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"] THIS. Most every preview for it has been positive. The only negative feedback is coming from SW.i5750at4Ghz

Can't play while sitting? I can see how well this will sell after initial launch allready. How many people actually stand to play WII games?Jynxzor

remake the thread "will Sony Move be canned" and you will get a better debate.

As long as microsoft can throw money at something, it will be fine. They know how to marketDiviniuz

Sega knew how to market at one point, as well.

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"][QUOTE="Fuhgeddabouditt"] not saying your wrong but link? One has said this is true while another has said MS denied it. subrosian

Why are you attacking me here? Im trying to present facts. I never said kinect would be great, sell awesomely or anything like that. Im purely speaking from hands on previews.

FACT: Dance Central supports more than 2 people.

Wow..."agent of propagnda"...maybe you should chill.

ON kinects ability to allow players to sit: Launch titles are made for standing either way. From the stuff I am hearing, MS is working to allow users to sit at launch. This has been said by MS and many publications. WAIT AND SEE....

[QUOTE="subrosian"][QUOTE="wolverine4262"] it sounds like the problem is with how kinect tracks the human bone structure. It should be fine for straight navigation, but launch titles will require standing probably (all of them would anyway though)....wolverine4262

The real world will eat this up, has it ever entered your mind that maybe this product like so many other in the market place just weren't made with you in mind or core gamers in general? As far as fanboys go, I;m a PC gamer I could care less. I'm simply a fan of the tech, THE TECH IS AMAZING. Growing up playing duck hunt I would have fell in love with something like this.i5750at4Ghz

Are you serious? None of the games there are even interesting. If the real world eats it up, then they're crazy.

The voice command and menu controls seem great but the games look like a snooze at E3, hardly anyone clapped or cheered. I think they just focused too much on it at E3 that people got bored. But I don't think it will be cancelled.

[QUOTE="wolverine4262"]

[QUOTE="subrosian"] Unless Microsoft is writing you a check every month, you shouldn't be making excuses for them. The product will either launch with sitting support, or they had deceptive advertising amount the functionality of Kinect. That's up to Microsoft, not you, and spreading such assumptions makes you an agent of propaganda for them. Is that really what you want to be? Kinect needs to be questioned. Move needs to be questioned. Hell, the 3DS needs to be questioned. I've seen all of these products, I know where they stand, and *I* still have unanswered questions. If you haven't even held one of these, I would be skeptical, you have every right to be a skeptic, but no reason to be a supporter.shinrabanshou

He's probably referring to either reaction to the Kinect Cirque du Craptacular or the feedback from places like here, neogaf, ScrewAttack.
