As most of you will be aware, Microsoft has just launched their new Kinect hardware for the Xbox 360, possibly at the best time too, since we are leading up to a hectic holiday season.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Cultured Vultures: "Sadly, not all hardware is created equal, and no matter how much developers might try, some gaming hardware just fails to hit the mark. We’ve compiled a list of 10 gaming hardware fails, and boy did some fail hard."
I would label the Power Glove, Kinect, and that Tony Hawk skateboard more as hardware addons hardware failure would be like the Virtual Boy and one day Stadia.
The picture should be the 360 RROD. When I think of gaming hardware failures that's what springs to mind. Kinect and it's bundled price tag definitely hobbled the already underpowered Xbox One though for sure so I would give it a close second place.
Lol I had the Atari Jaguar, surprised its "competition" the 3DO isn't on the list too, both as "popular" as each other.
Stadia is a weird one. It hasn’t sold at all well but in terms of how it works it’s still miles ahead of Xcloud in terms of stability and performance. Xcloud is still a way behind and that needs sorting but it will be in time. Stadia for me is one of those things that will go down as a what could have been moments. With better marketing it could have been a roaring success. I still play it and it remains the best place in my opinion to play CyberPunk 2077. Only platform I have played it on without having any issues at all. The tech is great. The concept is fine. Marketing terrible. Shame really.
The Xbox One was Microsoft’s Nintendo Wii U. Undercooked, undersold and just an unholy mess. The thing is with any of these failures is to learn from them and thankfully both Nintendo and Xbox did just that to the benefit of gamers everywhere.
If someone has a ps3 then the likely choice is move. If someone has a 360 then you can figure on kinect.
If they have neither, the choice is dependent on the games they intend to play. 360/kinect bundle vs ps3/move bundle vs possibly even the wii again this season.
If your a gamer and like core games get PS move (KZ3, No more heroes 2, MAG, Dead space, LBP 2, Resident evil 5...etc)
If your new into gaming and find core games hard for you and you prefer gimmicky casual games then get Kinect.
I played with Move at my friends house the other day. Wish I could buy one but other responsibilities for my money right now. Hope to get one of Xmas.
Kinect will sell really well. Ps3 will sell because there's still 100millions ps2 owners who are ready to upgrade
