well judging by the fact your on engadget, i'd say your not in the target audience for these.]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
looks fun but weird. That girl was Hot]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
Not much room for cheating here, the 'kids' and their obese parents actually have to do the work.

For the fitness games, you can actually hold weights which is nice.

For the high end games, like COD a full integration might not work (as we can imagine currently), but they may incorporate some of the features.

The best thing about this, is that it is there if I need it, it does not form every interation with the machine or game like the wii does.

As for the playstaion move, I look forward to what it brings. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 7:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/

Either way, I agree with you that people here act like everything should be made for them, but they are also a target audience.]]>Jun 15th 2010 8:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
Microsoft made this very clear during their press conference. They had the extremely hardcore half with CoD, Halo, GoW, MGS - everything a gamer could want. Then they did a complete 180 with Kinect and brought out animals and cute kids.

It's like Microsoft said "okay hardcore, here's some awesome shit, now go have a little nap while we reach out to a new audience".]]>Jun 15th 2010 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 8:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/

Where this will shine is in multimedia/research interaction. Think a giant wall size screen kinda like in the movie Minority Report...]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:06AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
No, Microsoft doesn't have a big hardcore audience, Microsoft have a number hardcore users that annoying so much that they looks like that they are a lot of users. But even if the user is a real hardcore, a hardcore only purchase only one copy of the game or, at most, two copies (the first version and some special version).
The real hardcore masses of users are struck with WOW and CS (Word of Warcraft and Counter Strike respectively).]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
¿you wanna have an actual object in your hands while playing? then do it. The beauty of it is that Kinect will work that way too.

Say you wanna play some tennis game in Kinect. You could do it with your hands empty, or if you prefer the feeling of a racket in your hands, then you can use an actual tennis racket, a frying pan, or whatever object you may have at hand. ¡Even Wii "periferals"!]]>Jun 15th 2010 10:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 10:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 11:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
The big problem with wii business is that you get some awesome 3rd party games like "deadspace extraction" that nobody buys. It's a nice gesture controlled games that simply doesn't fit the wii audience. With HD graphic on natal (kinect) or move I would definitely buy it. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 11:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/

Yep, I hate the fact that my friends that come over who aren't "hardcore" gamers can't really play much with me on the xbox right now. How many people who haven't played Forza, Gears, etc before can jump right in and have fun with it?

Instead I tend to break out the wii with the simpler games. Not as much fun for me but at least it's something we can do together.]]>Jun 15th 2010 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 2:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 5:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 16th 2010 3:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 19th 2010 3:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 7:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/Jun 15th 2010 7:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
Agree. There must be a reason for the really bright lights.
It will be interesting to see if Sony have to do the same for the PS3 Move demos.

Again.
No, it is not.
Xbox360 indeed have hardcore users but most of the users are simple casual gamers.
Anyways, hardcore users doesn't have enough incomes to justify to spend over $140 in a new control, in fact they whined a lot for a $40 halo 3.

"People that own xbox are hard core gamers"

¿Really? ¿all 28 million of them? ¿have you personally asked each and every single Xbox 360 owner if they were hardcore gamers?

Well, unlike you, i'm just guessing, but i'm going to bet there's a fair amount of casual gamers that actually own an Xbox 360 (or a PS3 for that matters). I mean, Netflix, Zune, Facebook, Twitter, yeah, those aren't features you may expect to find in a "Gaming Hardcore Only" device.

Xbox is not a Gaming Hardcore System (In fact , i doubt there's such a thing anymore, except maybe a 3000$ PC gaming rig). It's a Home Entertainment System.

And you may excuse me, but, about the prices...¿300$ Xbox? you can get a new one for as few as 200$ (just the same as the Wii). And i don't know where that 150$ pricetag on the kinect comes from, since kinect's price hasn't been announced yet.]]>Jun 15th 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/15/kinect-sports-and-joy-ride-previewed-in-brief-video/
However, let's say you are right. Microsoft is making the right move by bringing out Kinect, as it targets that younger/casual audience before the hardcore gamer, while still leaving it in the hands of devs to make the hardcore games available.

If a family walks in and wants to buy a console, will they choose a Wii or an Xbox? Probably the Wii. Introduce Kinect, and now the kids can play Kinect, the teens play COD, and the parents watch movies on Zune or ESPN. Microsoft has just made the console suit every lifestyle and isn't stupid in releasing this.]]>Jun 15th 2010 2:12PM
