Nintendo changed the face of gaming when it unleashed the Wii way back in the winter of 2006, pulling in multi-generational horde of new gamers, eager to shell out for the big N's pared-down, accessible fun. Skip forward to the present day, and in the run-up to Christmas both Microsoft and Sony are hawking their own nifty motion-gaming wares -- Kinect for Xbox 360 and PlayStation Move respectively.
But which of these three motion marvels deserves your hard-earned pennies this year? Crave has played extensively with all three and present their findings here.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Cultured Vultures: "Sadly, not all hardware is created equal, and no matter how much developers might try, some gaming hardware just fails to hit the mark. We’ve compiled a list of 10 gaming hardware fails, and boy did some fail hard."
I would label the Power Glove, Kinect, and that Tony Hawk skateboard more as hardware addons hardware failure would be like the Virtual Boy and one day Stadia.
The picture should be the 360 RROD. When I think of gaming hardware failures that's what springs to mind. Kinect and it's bundled price tag definitely hobbled the already underpowered Xbox One though for sure so I would give it a close second place.
Lol I had the Atari Jaguar, surprised its "competition" the 3DO isn't on the list too, both as "popular" as each other.
Stadia is a weird one. It hasn’t sold at all well but in terms of how it works it’s still miles ahead of Xcloud in terms of stability and performance. Xcloud is still a way behind and that needs sorting but it will be in time. Stadia for me is one of those things that will go down as a what could have been moments. With better marketing it could have been a roaring success. I still play it and it remains the best place in my opinion to play CyberPunk 2077. Only platform I have played it on without having any issues at all. The tech is great. The concept is fine. Marketing terrible. Shame really.
The Xbox One was Microsoft’s Nintendo Wii U. Undercooked, undersold and just an unholy mess. The thing is with any of these failures is to learn from them and thankfully both Nintendo and Xbox did just that to the benefit of gamers everywhere.
shows how much they are trying to stop sony selling move.
for anyone claiming otherwise check out CNETS articles on anything ps3 related
this article is soo misinforming the consumer its unreal, the highlight for me was him talking about the space needed for MOVE, even though kinect requires more space,light,certain tightness to clothes,standing up the list goes on
MS is desperate to slow down move sales in negligence of all the positive feedback move is getting, shame kinect when bought will get returned in high amounts...
easy set up? lol
... All the problems that eye toy had are still present...
