Microsoft Kinect

[tidusffxwakka]

out of the two (move and kinect) i say move, but generally because i love the wii and wish more was done for it than alot of shovelware. gems like mario galaxy 2 are awesome, so if either ninty or sony work on developing more of them im happy

kinect is lame to me so far as i see little use for myself, my 360 is about relaxtion time, if i wanna be active and play i would just pop in wii sports resort etc

Kinect is an horrible name, I got used to Natal. Anyway I'll get the Playstation Move (which apparently could be not the final name either), but the tool itself seems by far better IMO.

E3 2010: You Don't Have to Kinect
Microsoft still plans to invest in what made Xbox popular.

Though Kinect is the talk of the town right now, Microsoft's Aaron Greenberg, Director of Product Management for Xbox, claims nothing will change for the current owner that just wants to play traditional games.

Greenberg told IGN, "The nice thing for us is that we have diversity. We're not in any way saying that we're not going to continue to do the best or focus on the blockbuster games that make Xbox great for gamers. That continues."

Further, Greenberg points to differences between the Wii and Xbox platforms as reasons why core gamers will continue to flock to Xbox 360, in particularly the fact that Kinect is not a forced experience. "We're going to continue to invest in Live and the online community there. This is additive, on top of what we already have. There's a key difference in the technology and the experience between Natal and the Wii, but we're not taking our entire platform and making everything controller-free."

Even so, Greenberg believes that many current Xbox 360 owners will find Kinect intriguing enough to pick it up. "I think that will drive a lot of interest for current owners as a thing you get on top of what you already have. And for a broader, more casual user, it's a way they can now experience and play without having to learn to use a controller. It sees you. It hears you. It recognizes your body. It allows you to play naturally without ever having played a game before."

I like that it isn't a forced experience and they don't plan on implenting every game into it.

I can't wait for the official price and release date.

Thank goodness.
I love gadgets and stuff, but I don't know about this yet.

I'd buy it if I could, but I really doubt I could afford it!

I play games to relax so this is not on my shopping list.

It depends on the price, really, and the level of developer support it gets.
