During our discussion, the executive spoke candidly about the Kinect for Xbox 360 and the Sony PlayStation Move, two gaming peripherals that took a page out of the Nintendo play book, following the runaway success of the Wii's motion controllers.
Show organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade announced that PAX West 2023 will have a keynote speaker famous within the gaming industry.
Reggie is actually a creative marketing manager. He is the real deal. I think the guy might even be above average in the sales department. He got people to accept cheaply made products for extremely high prices and not only accept the situation but to defend him in a way to make sure their favorite sales manager gets rich, and on top of all of this, he kept the pop-culture train rolling.

Mother – or Earthbound, as it’s known in the West – saw its third instalment released on the Game Boy Advance in Japan over 15 years ago, but despite persistent requests from fan groups it has never received an official English release.

Dance Central...basically Just Dance for the Kinect...both have done well and actually show off what both the Wii and Kinect can do with proper development
and i agree with him that its a waiting game with the Move...but all of that will change once LBP, Socom and KZ come out
i also associate Dance Centrals success to the $500 million ad budget...almost every Best Buy commercial for the month of November showed the game off in some way
his face looks pissed when he talks about move, hes knows that move is better than wii motion controller
Nintendo said they were shown the Kinect tech years ago (before MS bought into it) and decided that there was too many limitations so they decided it wouldn't be good enough. Now they can't decide which one is better? LOL
Nintendo President really says: "I hate both.
I hate 360 fans and PS3 fans. You can all go die"
