With Kinect and Move advertising in full swing, how far can the company line carry these two devices?
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.
The Kinect damn near dislocated my shoulder....
The guy in the video did better standing still than I did trying to control the car at a Bose store. Kinect Adventures seemed to follow my movements fairly accurately though.
Kinect Is a blast to pull out for a good full body work out...
I can't seem to muster any interest in either device.
This Author doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. The question is whether Microsoft's 500 million in advertising will stack up to Sony's word of mouth advertising. Difference is one didn't cost 500 million!!
Now, regardless of the fact that both devices JUST LAUNCHED and both have already sold into the millions. (Or shipped, I don't give a fuck if it's shipped or sold, because shipped will very quickly be sold!! DUH!!! The stores ORDER the devices based on DEMAND!) That goes for Microsoft and Sony.
As with any device...it's not the advertising push, but quality of software that will ultimately spell the success or doom of these devices..........so regardless this article is a major fail.
