I think it was your use of the word "obviously" that tripped you up and now makes you seem contradictory, forcing you to do a bit of revisionism in the name of fairness. But never mind that.
In response to a much more interesting point, I think that the people swayed by the better graphical capabilities of the PS3 might be similarly turned off by the fact that the library consists mostly of gore-dripping slasher titles, as opposed to the colorful, kid-friendly Wii library.
How do you make a character walk from one end of a room to another with walking into your TV? If the answer is to walk in place then it becomes a tiring experience to play something like gears of war or halo with such a control scheme as there is running in there you'd also lose the ability to walk in place like that toomrpmpfan said:
Of course it won't! The Kinect is nothing but a silly gimmick that hardly works and was marketed on a system that does not take kindly to the sort of demographic that would like this sort of thing. The Wii won't be threatened by this thing. It has Super Mario Galaxy 2 for crying out loud!
No, as Kinect is a device that Nintendo rejected when making the Wii. Nintendo knows what they're doing.
Can't disagree with you there. I do believe that is bullshit, but I don't have an Xbox 360 in the first place, and I don't play a lot of the Wii anyways, I'm more of a PC gamer. So I will stick with my wii for awhile, because it has Zelda and Zelda rules.mrpmpfan said:
Thats why they released the Virtual Boy, GBA Micro, N64 and Gamecube....they totally know what they are doing.OmegaXzors said:
How is $150 a bad price? Its apparent that Microsoft is throwing a lot of money behind Kinect so there are going to be a handsome library of games to follow. Most of us (including myself) have bought a band kit (mine being Rock Band 2) which cost close to $200. And the kit only plays with other music games. Rock Band and Guitar Hero have sold a ton of kits at the near $200 price so explain to me why a new motion control system for $150 is too pricey.nathan-dts said:
I don't plan on buyning Kinect anyway since I'm more of a controller person(I play Brawl with the GCN controller, etc.) Though the $50- price tag sounds like a good idea.
I think it's obvious it's going to have an effect on the sales of the Wii, there'll be people who already have a 360 who were maybe considering buying a Wii and maybe they want to go for something new and interesting to play with friends and family.
Wii already has established itself though but this will divert some income from Nintendo for sure.

No, anyone who wants the motion experience has a Wii already and anyone in the future is going to take it over the Kinect due to price (need to just by the Wii rather than xbox and the kinect) and the actual decent games on the Wii opposed to a bunch of shovelware on the kinect.
In essence what I'm saying is no one will pick the Kinect over the Wii. Maybe a few people will have both but the Kinect will fail just like the Move.

Actually I'm interested in motion control and I don't have a Wii yet so that kind of disproves your theory.AugustFall said:
What about people that want a new console and they like the price of the Kinect bundle? what about people that already have a 360 and want something new from it? wouldn't it make sense for them to spend less on a the 360 and Kinect.
It's too early to be basing the success of the new motion controllers on their launch titles alone, I expect some sick killer motion controls games from devlopers in future for the Kinect and Sony.
I see a lot of people hating on the Kinect but if you aren't excited about this you haven't imagined the range of possibilities that can be achieved through its use.
can you show me one of those articles? Im not trying to be combative, ive just heard nothing of the sort on any game site(i visit alot of sites) and would like to be educated if you are indeed correct. Also dont come at me with an article from some guy who has never worked with the system saying that its going to be a *****.mrpmpfan said:
