Wait... This is the first time you've heard about the Kinect?
Microsoft have been hyping up this thing for I don't know how long and NOW you hear about it for the first time?
Him not knowing about Kinect and still posting on The Escapist DOES seem somewhat suspicious...
It's also his third post ever.
Here's the thing: Microsoft has, yes, been hyping it up like crazy--in gaming publications that've taken an interest in it, mostly, and if you don't read gaming publications then you've basically been in the dark about this thing called the NATAL that's been talked about a little bit here and there. It shows up in the news elsewhere every once in a while, but to give you an idea of how low-profile this has actually been outside our little world it wasn't until I visited home two weeks ago that my parents heard of it and they're licensed Microsoft product
distributors themselves. We gamers, though, we drag every bit of information out of these companies even before they've officially named their product. Really, it's probably only since E3 this year that the rest of the world has been remotely privy to this information.
