Sure, Crisis maybe the overall graphics king, but Uncharted is the most popular graphics king because Uncharted 2 is the best looking console game that happens to sell more than Crysis.
You must hang out with some smelly people, because I've played DDR and Wii for extended time periods with large groups of people for years and never had an issue.savebattery
Wii is not that sweat-inducing. If you play DDR and then leave the room, then it'd be fine. But if you get sweaty and still hang out in a crowded room, people will smell you after a while.
It is gonna be hard for Kinect to win. If it is not fun, nobody wants to play. If it is fun, well, get ready for some stinking people at the party. Imagine you have a group of people getting together at a holiday party. Playing Kinect can be exhausting after 15 minutes or so. People would getty sweaty all night long. Sweat makes people stink. Seriously, Kinect might just be the first game machine that can make people stink at a party. I guess if you don't want to stink up the party, don't be the first to play Kinect. That girl or guy you are interested in my not like you much because your Kinect smell. Perhaps it is better to wait till the party is almost over to play Kinect.
Why would you compare different platforms if you are interested in Carmack's skills? You should compare Rage PS3 vs Killzone 3.

Because I believe the 360 is a the weak console, and if Carmack can make a 360 game look as good as Killzone 3, then Carmack is still the programing god.
The more I read Gamespot rules in this forum the more I feel like the mods are biased against the PS3. Anyone else feel this way? Anyone debating more at IGN, Neogaf, or even Amazon forums because the mods here are too arbitrary in the way they make up rules? We can't use the words console graphics king? This is simply lame. "Console graphics king" are simply the best words to describe the best looking console game. "Console graphics kings" favor the PS3. Therefore, let's try to ban the words in this forum. Whoever made up this rule needs to be disciplined by Gamespot management.
I think it helps because Blu-ray moves are becoming more mainstream. Then we have 3D Blu-ray movies that can be played on the PS3. Then we have multiple HD games on one Blu-ray disk. Maybe it hurt the PS3 before due to higher prices. Now, it helps sell the PS3.
It already does look better than kz3 as do gears 3bigboss5ak
I think you are jumping the gun. RAGE and Gears 3 don't have a beta yet. Any non-beta video doesn't count as it can be doctored. Besides, chances are Killzone 3 will have a larger number of multiplayers, which would make Killzone 3's graphics even more impressive.
Carmack used to be a programmer god. That's a long time ago. Now I read he is working on RAGE for PC, PS3, and 360. It is probably a given that the PC version will look the best. However, what if RAGE on 360 doesn't look as good as Killzone 3 on PS3? That would mean the PS3 is more powerful than the 360 or Carmack is losing his programming touch. So far, no company can create a game on Xbox 360 that looks as good as Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2. If Carmack can't, then the PS3 must be significantly more powerful than the 360.
Other (a family racing game, a take care of virtual pets, asnowboarding game, and a Sonic game that you know will flop)
So, $150 gives you the opportunity to play this for now. And you must pay for all these games too.

Your list is a good one, and it further proves point. Kinect's library will get stale fast because gameplay is limited to such games, and it only gets harder to innovate those games.
Kinect's main problem for the hardcore audience is the divided 360 base. Not all 360 users will have Kinect.
This causes devs not wanting to make a hardcore game (that's comparable to a regular high-quality title) solely for 360 owners that bought Kinect. The audience is much smaller.
Devs might use it to supplement traditional hardcore games built for all 360 users (the same way Move is) with the option to use Kinect. But this won't lead to any revolutions, because they will still design the game for non-kinect users first (especially in 'Hard-core' games, that are so multiplayer focused, that emphasize fairness over 'immersion')

I agree that developers are reluctant to make hardcore Kinect games. But I disagree with you on developers giving gamers the option to use Kinect or Standard controllers. That would only emphasise Kinect's flaws--lag, impreciseness, and tiring muscles.
