Frankly, I'd say No.
I myself own both Move and Kinect, and from what I've experienced, it cannot make much of an impact when developers aren't using it in their games, but why aren't they using it?
Simple, People can't afford to fork out another $200 Dollars for Kinect or Move (Yes, I realize the price isn't exact..), but I'd assume everyone has realized that by now, so the question on everyone's mind at the moment is... What was the point of even releasing these "Addon's"?
Well, From what I can tell, it was basically a move by both Sony and Microsoft to try to eliminate the "Other" company, we all know as Nintendo, although it hasn't gone to plan as much as they expect I'd assume, though, slowly, it is making an impact on the market.
But, in the end, both of these products are just for Casual Family entertainment, but frankly, Family's aren't as Social as they use to be, so there's another reason why it didn't impact the market.
So, what's your opinion?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
i think that kinect is shit and move is awesome
Kinect is selling by the boatloads. The problem isn't that it isn't selling, it's that their aren't any worthwhile games for it yet.
Move is just now getting a killer app, (though MAG, Heavy Rain, and RE5 Gold are great, a post release patch just isn't the same as day 1).
I think both Move and Kinect are just scratching the surface of what they'll become. At least, Sony and MS both hope so. We know Move has at least one full title coming in Sorcery, and hopefully Kinect has some full experiences coming too.
I still think it's too early to judge either one. Though, I've been enjoying Move since I got it in December.
So far they've both been successful, kinect more than Move, but unfortunately they have not made an impact, atleast not yet. Hardly anyone is shifting towards towards Move. And kinect despite it's good sales has only good casual games and it seems that most developers focus for the kinect is just that. So no not really, both these devices are just riding on the success of casual gaming.
All I know is, the Move has a whole bunch of game's coming out for it, whilst Kinect has sort of fizzled away, with absolutely nothing going on. Now that the fake hype for it is over everyone's kinects are collecting dust just like we all said they would.
If Move has sold 5.5 MIL (Sports Champions bundles and Zumba) and the Kinect has sold 8 MIL (Adventure Bundle, Zumba and Dance Central). You have to step back for a second and realize that the games aren't really for real gamers. Just a small casual market. Those bundles just come with the device. The sold separately games for both is Zumba (and Dance Central for MS).
The hard core gamers don't have any games. I personally like Sports Champions. But I'm waiting for Sorcery.
