Kinect Sports, JoyRide trailered, soccer mom thrashes children

Microsoft put out montage trailers of both Joyride and Kinect Sports this morning, showing one woman soundly beating both a small boy and young girl. She really takes them to school.

"what the heck is MS thinking about these minigames"

Answer: People who would fall for gimmicks and marketing.
