i saw the presentation live and all of the demonstrations just look laughable and forced
i'm not that impressed
looks STUPID
YAY WE CAN WATCH SPORTS CHANNELS ON THE XBOX NOW
FUCK YEAH NEW XBOX DESIGN EVEN IF EVERYONE IN THE WORLD ALREADY HAS ONE
jenna is working on one of those 6 launch titles. i can't say which one, though. at least i think i can't. anyway, it's a great idea, but it is still buggy and has a long way to go before the holiday season.
yes but does it involve anime
ok apparantly i can she's working on the animal one called 'kinectimals' i think. she's not working on the animals themselves but a part of the game that hasn't made it in yet

I have no plans to purchase Kinect. Kinectimals looks really cute but all of the actual footage of people using Kinect looks imprecise and ridiculous.
also I don't have a large area in front of my tv to position everything.
i don't think kinect will have much appeal beyond casual gamers and younger kids
i wish kinectimals was for the computer so i could play it because i like cute things

but the thing i found very strange about microsoft's marketing plan is that they're now trying to reach
everyonesports fans with the espn platform
stay at home moms with the wii-fitness-wannabe
little kids with the kinectimals
casual gamers with the awkward party games
teens/or... something... with the dance party thing (that just looks really awkward)
and then their usual crowd of fps gamers with testosterone-driven games like GoW
i wonder if the new xbox really is "whisper quiet" as advertised
what's strange about a corporation expanding its market to reach every age bracket it can? microsoft is big enough to do it and the x360 has pretty much reached its precipice as the platform for 'hardcore' gamers. they're not going to be interested in the gimmicks of the kinect, but tout it as a home entertainment system with entertainment possibilties for the kids and you've got a device that can deliver content to young kids, teenagers, young adults, college students and adults and parents

well, yeah the strange thing is, if you're a casual gamer you probably already have a wii or know that a wii will get you more bang for your buck.
what casual gamer/mom/college student is gonna shell out 300$ for an xbox then the rumored 150$ for kinect then ???$ for content when they can get the wii for 150-200$ plus games, especially in this economy?

you're looking at it in a different way - this is what i think microsoft is hoping will happen. they will probably reduce the price of the xbox during the holiday season. but there are already around 23 million xbox 360 units sold, and from my impression, most xbox's are owned in a family played primarily by the teenage boy. that leaves anywhere from 1 to 2, 3, 4 or maybe more people in the household who don't use it. and, chances are it's probably in the living room with all the other entertainment system paraphernalia.
if you already have an xbox360, getting kinect will be cheaper than getting a wii. it will probably come bundled with something, and you will also never need to purchase controllers for it either. if the launch titles are fun and the hardware works well, it could possibly branch out.
but i don't think microsoft's core stragey here is to convince nintendo die-hards who play wii fit and mario kart on the weekends to shell out $500+ for kinect. to me it seems more like a move to expand the age bracket usage of households that already have an xbox360. and at 23 million it's a pretty lucrative, untapped market.
ohhh well that's making a little more sense if you put it that way
but they've got to put out some more titles if they really want to tap into that market, i think they only had demonstrated 6 titles at e3 and announced 16 (can't remember). wii has like at least 1000 i think.
we'll see how it goes
Looks fun, but I wouldn't buy it until they've improved greatly on that kind of technology.

16 launch titles is pretty solid. it's silly to compare that to the wii's library of games, which has been out for years. plus, the technology is a lot different. sony move is the real wii clone. what i'm more concerned about is the quality and originality of the titles. kinect has one of two possible outcomes - a genuine step forward in facial, voice and motion recognition, or an even bigger gimmick than a wiimote, which in my opinion is often times more frustrating than it is fun.
It only works when you're standing up
then i imagine they'll only be making games where you'd want to be standing up to play
my main concern about the technology is the amount of room required for the device to be reading your actions properly. how much 'background noise' can the kinect take until it starts making mistakes?

I heard they already had a game system for shitty, hard to control games, or maybe I'm just imagining it. (https://thebackalleys.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.tmcnet.com%2Fblog%2Ftom-keating%2Fimages%2Fnintendo_wii%255B1%255D.jpg&hash=c1a93934ee9973ada4a1c951135e2b5eb01a64d9)

i dont believe you
They already have machines you can control with your mind.
clumsily at best
Still exists. Pretty crazy IMO.
i want to live in a .hack utopia because i love anime :_D
this thing cant pick up dark colors.
very few 3D and LED cameras can.
meaning black people cannot play the video games for this thing.
im sure they are heartbroken.
