The only thing Skyrim will learn is that being on the Wii this late in the gen sucks for your franchise.
Other than that, Kotaku can Wii-mote their way through Zelda all they want..it won't touch the experience Skyrim provides.
Wake me up when Zelda arrives on
Wii-U years from now

Again, it may not be the purchase for you. If those are the only games you would enjoy then probably not.
As a guy who love motion control gaming and owns them all..Kinect was priceless.
150 for Kinect was nothing compared to what I've spent money on in the past up through now. Hardcore gamers have spent 150 dollars plus just play one game. For me it 150+ was Lengendary Halo 3 and Reach, MW2 and the NVGs, Gears 3 and the statue etc. Not to mention th...
'Yes EvilDead, ignore the all the months prior to BLACK FRIDAY. Those stories haaaad to be fake. Jesus Christ...'
Interesting how some people get emotional over comments clearly not directed at them.
In this case, I'm calling it exactly how it was. Industrygames claimed Kinect wasnt selling strictly because there were no more major sales announcements.
Which was silly because just like I've been saying all along, Kinect...
'I haven't invested in Kinect yet is because the only two interesting titles I see for it are Dance Central 1 and 2. I was going to take a dive this last Friday, but I had second thoughts once I considered the lack of interesting games for the system and the peripheral in general.'
Kinect just isn't for you then, In fact it isn't for everyone. No big deal...750,000 just bought it on Black Friday, I'm sure Micrsoft will be ok.
We all knew it would be big but the Best sales week in History? Wow
So much for all Kinect is not selling fake theories of late.
In fact with 100 dollar Kinect bundles and $50 dollar Moves I expect both motion control peripheral to do it big this year.
November NPD is going to be monstrous for all.
And to think the holidays have just begun

'Your big competition, Sony, has been aggressive this year, with a price cut putting its device in line with 360. Has it slowed Xbox?'
His response...
'No. We are still on the course, and very happy with our value proposition.'
I like his reponse, because the 360 doesn't affect the success of the PS3 and vise versa.
The best part was he's a realist in saying 'Retail is in a tough place and...
First off ANY article that has Cliffy B and positive statements about Kinect is going to 'rile' up the usual detractors.
In this case, I own Skyrim and Kinect as well and after hours and hours of playing, I've had some similiar thoughts about what Kinect would have brought to the game.
I cool with not casting spells with my hand on Skyrim. That's what Fable: Kinect will be designed for. But what I would have loved is the voice control to p...

'Figuratively' speaking..Skyrim is crack...
Carry on
Evil
Skrim is crack..yesterday could not put it down for most of the entire day and kept coming back after breaks.
It's hard to remove it from 360 tray. Even with people trying to invite to other games.
Amazing experience

'And in that regard, you're still being ridiculous and clearly trolling. Through my "fankid goggles" (grow up), I clearly read, understood that you meant sales, and responded to such.'
Nah you clearly responded with the fankid goggles on full stun..pretended in that I said 'Japan isn't important to gaming' when anyone with EYES can look at my comment and see I didn't. You made it up got called out..end of story.
LOL @...
'That was fast damage control,Japan is one of the reasons 360 is heading to 3rd EVENTUALLY.'
LMFAO @ the irony using 'damage control' and the '360 will be in 3rd place EVENTUALLY' all in the same sentence..
Pull up your skirts fellas this isn't a call to 'console war' arms
READ AGAIN..I just joked no matter how bad Kinect's numbers look..they still arent that far behind the 360s hardware numbers
...
LOL @ Microsoft probably doing cartwheels and popping bottles to the Kinect numbers in Japan.
Let's keep it real the hardware numbers out there arent too far ahead of Kinect #s. It's been the story of an American console in the home turf of Nintendo and Sony.
What's crazy is how the numbers compare to VGchartz..
The 114,000 comes from the sales of the bundled Kinect Adventures.
Famitsu has Kinect at 114,00...
Still playing on the 360 since it launched and not issue yet. The game is pure heavenly crack. I just want to savor every moment. Glad to see they are pushing forward updates for the platforms that are having issues.
'As much as guys like EvilDead360 like to pretend everything is alright, any thinking, rational person with a basic understanding of the industry could tell you, when you move a lot of units in a short time, then move next to nothing...this isn't a good sign of the long term health of a product'
Nope, I simply pointed out the faulty logic in pretending Kinect sales throughout it first year of existance somehow means code red.
Look we all know what...
I've said it before and now there is a stat attached.
53% of Batteltfield 3 owners also own Modern Warfare 3.
Which proves that in the real world people enjoy both and like most of us spent 120 dollars plus in two weeks to play these monster shooters.

'Yup 500 million in advertising with 10 million sales = Loss (10 mill x $100 = 100 mill)'
LMFAO @ THIS math. (I'm joking..everyone makes math mistakes..but this one refutes your entire point)
Micrsoft needed to only sell 4 million Kinects to make up their advertising budget.
They DOUBLED that amount in 60 days. Not to mention it was priceless as it rebranded the 360 and the hardware sales increased in the process.
...
What's really hilarious is CVG is simply quoting the same failed article from Industry games.
The best part is watch trolls do a 180 on the site when it's talking about Micrsoft or Kinect.
But a week and a half ago...this is what AppEagleElaphant said in response to the CVG article title 'I am losing faith in Sony'
'CVG well known troll site
They had similar type of articles before mostly bashing PS3.
Salutes 123 Kinect for this one. I had no idea the game existed. I'm buying this to add to my party game collection. Kinect Sports 1 and 2, Motion Sports and Motion Sports Adrenaline, Fruit Ninja, Dance Central 1 and 2..and this to the fray.
I need to look up the release date..talk about off the radar.
Still wish 123 wouldve given Ksports 2 more love..that game has been crack in my place with the darts alone.

@ yesimo or anyone else
'Great numbers, of course, but acting like IndustryGamers is full of shit because of their claim PRIOR to BF solidifies your opinion being one of bias and old fashioned ignorance.'
LMAO @ the facts actually solidifying that you still can't post a word without taking off your fankiddie goggles.
Look I say this all the time, I keep it 100% real. I own every system, why waste your breathe going the fan ...
