I recall when kinect came out for 360 good times indeed. Was extremely hyped

Wait... is this thing still ALIVE!?

They should incorporate the kinect technology into the ps camera. It'd be really cool for screen browsing and voice commands if you're just gonna use media features. But as I said when it first released it's useless for gameplay.

It had potential with the new gimmicks this version of Kinect had. I still liked the idea of face scanning and having it apply to your character...But when MS wont even support it with their own games then why should anyone else?

Motion gaming resurrected and died once more. It'll likely come back again in the future. MS tried to force support but only back fired. No matter how perfect or flawless you make it at the end of the day many simply don't care about motion gaming. Never force it on consumers if that's not the main point of the console. Kinect had a good run though R.I.P

If only their vision was like Alexa

they could have combined it's tracking with their mixed reality headset to create more accurate tracking ... would've been a pretty good additional option ..

And they should have waited a bit more after the xbox one x release to discontinue it so that people upgrading can still find the damn thing ... instead now the adapter is being sold for 400 $! how iffy is that microsoft ?

I still use mine for various voice commands

Kinect 3.0 will be here soon.

Kinect has survived on borrowed time for a while now. Kinect is no longer in production and now the adapters being discontinued are a pretty sure sign they're done with it.

Even though it wasn't doing well, I think they should have at least kept support until the next Xbox. Cutting it now just feels like a jarring move to early adopters.

No need with universal usb camera support coming. Most ppl probably want to just buy their own things to stream over the kinect and with the backlash it got funny to see ps fanboys in here once again to talk shit even though they were the first to talk shit about it being around in the first place. They should be the happiest out of everyone if you look back 3 years

Good choice

Hyped to death and died a miserable death.

Good riddance.

Kinect was a great peripheral, sure it wasn't great for most games, but it gave the console more depth. Whether it was communicating video with Skype with friends and family, fitness, voice commands, or fun active family games. The only problem was they made it mandatory for xbox one, but since it became optional I don't see why people would want to see more variety go.

It's more outrageous when it cost $100 more with a weaker spec than its competitor.

Kinect was dead the second Phil took over. I liked it for the voice commands, comming home while im at the door screaming XBOX ON and ready to go within seconds. Besides that I only used the motion control when friends came over to have some fun with party games. Im just wondering how it would have turned out if we hadnt had the NSA thing in 2013. Meanwhile everyone is carrying smartphones with them and has Alexa at home, gotta love people.

The saddest thing is that Kinect probably cost MS any chance at winning this generation, or even coming close in sales.

the funniest thing is that the ps move which everyone dogged from release actually outlast kinect 1.0 and 2.0

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
