Kinect Japan launch draws in large crowds

Looks like Kinect might just catch on in the Land of the Rising Sun.

blackburn55656d ago (Edited 5656d ago )

I guess you can call about 40 people a large crowd if you want

SkyCrawler5656d ago

Even so that's more than I expected O.o

OneSneakyMofo5656d ago (Edited 5656d ago )

Remember guys, what's small in the USA is HUGE in Japan.

Edit:
I bet you all those guys saw the recent naked Kinect videos that have been popping up.

TheBlackSmoke5656d ago

That's every 360 owner in japan.

Anton Chigurh5656d ago (Edited 5656d ago )

Can you guys please stop posting good news about Kinect ??

It's a matter of life and death for some people in here. I don't want anyone to commit suicide.

Peace

@Anton Chigurh

We are not surprised here:

Amazing, Stunning, Mezmerrizing, Incredible, etc.etc.. belongs to PS3 news

Crappy, Underwhelming, RRODing, Boring, etc.etc.. belongs to Xbox news

IF you don't follow the Rule, you'd rather die sooner

Always find a way to bash.

EVILDEAD3605656d ago (Edited 5656d ago )

LOL @ when they showed an unveriefied pic of no one at that little store in front of Kinect..Kotaku and the haters pretended no one was going to buy it..

Good sign that Kinect is drawing interest in Japan..Microsft might have found the recipe..

Nah..a few thousand will purchase it..but at least they have the choice

That's probably all the people in Japan who have enough room to use the Kinect.

EasilyTheBest5656d ago

It would be well funny if Kinect really took off in Japan, and I mean, really take off and they go crazy for it.
Coming on here and seeing it selling double the Wii and PS3 put together.
Im not obviously saying this is going to happen, but come on, it would be funny.
Imagine the butt hurt. Just think about it for a moment.
Yes, it would be hilarious, oh but not for some people I guess.

Sitris5656d ago

But it is unlikely, as. The japanese market is getting more and more invested in the handheld section. Not sure I would call it funny either, cause i can't use kinect, into bloody tall! If it catches on and next gen is based around it, I will need a new house to enjoy games, to hell with that lol

JoeReno5656d ago

Dont give VGcharts any ideas.

N4Great5655d ago (Edited 5655d ago )

Yeah, really hilarious, like irak war, when brainwashed people think it's the best thing to do because of u.s media "teh revolution, you are teh controler".

For a normal brain, it's just sad too see inferior games or products, etc selling more than the good ones because of marketing, it does'nt give to real inovators reasons to take risks.

@dumb fanboys, like nbidu, move had real "sold out" state, sell well arounf the world (in educated country, without fox news) without the ridiculous hype, marketing and lies, and no imaginary pics of a japanese street uploaded by desperate fangirls or ms employees.

Lovable5656d ago

The jokes about kinect here is pretty funny.

Masterchef20075656d ago

but how many units did each store recieve? I am guessing that based on the install base not very many

yourfather5656d ago

well i agree you,but still not bad

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde23d 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.

Soy24d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12523d ago (Edited 23d ago )

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

In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
