"Contrary to the rantings of your local forum troll, Kinect isn't some elaborate smoke and mirrors marketing scam peddled by Microsoft employees the world over to steal your money (although, ultimately, that's what they want), in fact, Kinect does a great job at picking up players and their movements. However, while the hardware is certainly impressive, some of the games on show did highlight the need for more development time to smooth out one or two kinks before the final release."
Want to know what the the best selling Xbox 360 games of all time are? Well look no further, as we delve deep into this consoles' catalogue.
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.
Nice write up :)
ATTACK!!!!
A positive Kinect article. I didn't think these were allowed here.
Watch the resident anti-kinect squadron decent and tell us whats really what. I'll believe a guy who's had time on kinect over a jack-ass on n4g any day
