Kinect vs. Move: The Japan Perspective

If you think the rhetoric between Microsoft and Sony regarding their new console controllers was a bit heated during E3, you'll be amused to know that it's pretty much the same deal over in Japan.

mcnablejr5844d ago (Edited 5844d ago )

for the win.

I think in Japan the Wii will continue to to destroy anything MS and Sony have to offer.

SprSynJn5843d ago

Since when is it destroying the competition? Until very recently the PS3 was selling the most here. That's at ¥10,000 more a pop too.

BABY-JEDI5844d ago

Have their respective pro's & cons. It's really up to the dev's to see how well each will succeed. Me?? I'm just a gamer looking for GOOD gaming experiences.

sikbeta5844d ago

The major Con for kinect in japan, got nothing to do with the device, Japanese people live in Literally Tiny Houses, that alone Defeat the purpose of playing with kinect....

Lightsaber5844d ago

Kinect is really gonna come out in Japan?? I don't see the point behind it considering how many consoles are out there. Unless they trying to get Jap devs to develop for it..

ActionBastard5844d ago

MS releasing Kinect in Japan is like MS releasing Kinect at all...a bad idea.

jneul5844d ago

sorry but i think once people find out just how flawed kinect is they will all go for the move, we already know it works as advertised, personally i cannot see kinect selling well in japan

phinch5844d ago

People actually realize what games or lack of games it has It wont sell well

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle66d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde73d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy73d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12573d ago (Edited 73d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga74d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199274d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga73d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman73d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger73d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box74d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion73d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7274d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7574d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit74d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14974d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7774d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
