Kinect technologies are absoluetly not innovative sorry : Voice recognition is already in Sony’s Singstar series available with the PS3 and the PSEye is also able to handle facial recognition.
Furthermore, do you know that Gran Turismo 5 will release on november and that it will have head tracking while driving in cockpit view, using the £30 PSEye…? Also PSEye has got a 4mic array and is perfectly able to manage voice recognition.

But it’s not £130 it’s £130 and a new XBOX for the Wii crowd 5 think that’s a bit expensive. For existing XBOX owners it’s £130 for a system that seems to bypass them.

£130 isn’t alot consider you get a game free (value probably around £29.99) and you don’t need to buy two controllers (for the wii it works out £50 per dual controller) It has depth perception as well as voice recognition. This type of technology has never been available to the home market and for only £130? thats a bargain if you ask me. There has been several articals that say Microsoft is the only company with the R & D (render and development) to bring this to the home market. I mean sony dont have dedicated departments within there business like Depth Sensor dept, Voice Recognition Dept, Motion Capture Dept and a hole lot more departments that microsoft have that are dedicated to technology and are now using for games. This has been in the making for 2 years now

Why you would be excited for a supernintendo when you already ownned de nes? for what reasons you want to acquire a nintendo DS when you have a gameboy advance with an unterminable library of good games or a nintendo 3ds if you have the old model? why the heck you would want a xbox 360 or a PS3 when you own a…ok.

Agreed with Mr Moody. The casual demographic is small to begin with, and already saturated with Wii’s. The fact they are bypassing the “hardcore” crowd entirely is a HUGE mistake, as they are the primary user base. The price is a bit steep as well. But, to add to Mr Moody’s argument, the xbox 360 had a motion camera already too. It was called the “MS Visioncam”. Essentially an Eyetoy ripoff (not essentially, more like exactly). Anyhow, unless they come up with a killer app for the hardcore audience, their primary demographic, they will end up with a huge fail. My prediction, next year these things will be $20 and dusty, next to the MS visioncams and the MS HDDVD drives.
