What you have another example of is someone who will downplay the existing games while pretending that no games have actually been announced.
Then the author is going to pretend that 'Rise of the nighmtmares' was promised to be the end all high profile experience that has and will define everything Kinect will be.
New Kinect game?..rinse..repeat..
But the truth is if you really wanted to compare, Kinect to the Wii then go for ...
Even IGN...jumped in on the dumb comparisons between the two. Why hate on the beast that is Skyrim just to praise Dark Souls.
Completely unnecessary in this case. RPG fans should jump for joy that we have two realeases of this stature back to back.
Skyrim isn't just going to get sales because it's some random rpg, its a franchise we've been waiting for 5 years to play again.
I salute both developers and can't wait to lose my...
Lol @ the list wars already starting up..but when the smoke clears itll always ends up that many titles just end up getting overlooked when they finally get released.
Microsfts focused fall had already played dividends..The Gears reviews Were good and the retail numbers are already reportedly phenomenal.
October is Forza and November is Halo anniversary. All perfectly set up to let Batman, Skyrim, Battlefield, and Call of Duty: MW3 do huge numbers o. The cons...
It's already been anounced that Kinect will be open too indy and Fruit Ninja Kinect has already been released as a spin-off of the huge app.
'Unless you want me to go off topic and name a bunch of other games that have nothing to do with the article'
Actually, your first comment was already off topic and had nothing to do with the article.
Even more impressive
Giant Bomb & Joystiq = 100
It's been the same for EVERY Major release since day one..so why single out
Gears
I'd trust a Gears review from the Official Xbox magazine over ANY of these tiny game sites

Im buying it.. but even as a huge Team Ico fan I know that the Gamestops that I frequent don't even have close to the preorder interest to keep the store open for 10 minutes foor a midnight release. Maybe, it's different in other parts on the states..but I just don't see it.

Crysis in a few weeks over Xbox Live and PSN??..wow that is a complete shocker too say the least.
Count me in..Day one. You simply can't beat that for the droves of console games who never played it on PC.
IMO..they should have released this first, then launched Crysis 2 in the fall. It would have made a better impact.

I always laugh at these Kinect article, mainly because in an atempt to initially spin the device negatively it's clear that they knows little about it or it's games.
The author perspective is of one who bought for his stepdaughter because he had 'no choice' and 3 months later they were bored because 'they danced to Lady gaga for the 300th time.'
At the end of the day, what you see is someone claiming to have fatigued from a device...
Bottom-line..metacric still 91..no one cares about the fake Metacritic user reviews from the Meta-trolls that have been there for years for all games.
Proof of how bad Meta user reviews got..they have had negative reviews for titles that hadnt released.
Weak

FFX..hands down the greatest into in FF history..when that game came out for the PS2 the CG was freaking unreal...
Remaking sounds like a stretch, but if true..I'm in!
FF7 can't be remade..that time has come and gone..we all know what happened that made that game as special as of was to all of us back then. We all know the leap of an dog with a hundred artists was for the entire world back when it was released.
And finally we all kno...
Not even remotely close to the truth..why waste energy even trying to explain this one..just laugh and maybe come back look at this next year and laugh even harder

Lol @ people who used to brag about not wanting to spend money on Xbox Live claim to have used it 'extensively'..
Give Xwow a bubble for being smart enough not to fall into the flame trap that gets the usual trolls fired up
Buy it for your console of of preference..PS3 or 360..this game is going to be a big event..for two weeks at least..lol
Kidding

World record..180+ replies and only 490 degrees??
I honestly thought degrees were based on the number of responses...guess I was wrong all this time
As I said before, I agree that the author is barking up the wrong tree in regards to sales. but, at the same time people like Dark ride, who try to box both PS3 and 360 gamers into some fan kid console war fantasy simply isnt close to the truth either. As with his past comments, He would like you to believe that the 'fans' are so different, based on the 'games' that are released.
'So is COD selling more on the 360 because of celebrity endorsements? Of co...
I'm a From Software fan from back in the King Field days. In fact, KF was ahead of it's time in the whole first person RPG world.
Demons souls IS difficult, especially when you first start and have no clue what you are doing. It's easy now for people to make claims that it's not as difficult once the world was able to read from others what to do. But, just like any tough game, once you have that 'aha' momentthe DS difficuly becomes manageable.
'You do know it took Halo 3 FOUR years to reach 11 million right? GT5 on the other hand sold just under 6.4 million in SIX weeks. Why people compare the sales of 6 weeks to 4 years is beyond me'
Ok..let's dispell ALL the myths downplaying what Halo 3 ulled off in sales this gen.
Halo 3 shipped 4.2 million copies into stores BEFORE it launched. It gorssed $300 million in it's first week. It went on to sell 8 million copies in only 3 months...
LOL @ Wenaldy and majiebeast having to flat out LIE about me. I've been on here from day one and just call it like it is. There isn't any magic formula.
I simply replied to Pirate hom and P_Bomb..but see they are allowed to say ANYTHING they want in regards to the 360 in this article, but if you reply and counter efortlessly and literally with a statement showing them that it goes both ways..
Lol..but mine got marked for trolling..cool..it is what...
The first 15 minutes of PS2's original Fatal Frame was scarier that 90% of the games that have come before and after its launch over 6 years ago.
I used to dare people to play the first 15 minutes without stopping. I must have gon through close to 20 people over time and only a handful passed. And most of the ones that did were still scared out of their minds.
I understand Siren..but Fatal Frame CLEARLY had a major impact on that game as well. Dare I ...
'It has something for everyone, and I, frankly, can't comprehend the inordinate fear that some people seem to have of the Kinect'
Ironwolf you hit it on the nail.
'Some people' have a fear of it..
If you look at any article about Kinect, just look at which people are the ones that spend their life in Kinect-a-hate mode.
Bottomline, Kinects reaction from some is simply a product of the console war....
