Retailers Target Corp. and Amazon.com Inc. this week price cut Nintendo Co.’s Wii hardware by six percent post launch of Sony Corp.’s ‘s Playstation Move controller for the Playstation 3 and pre launch of Microsoft Corp.’s Kinect hardware for Xbox 360.
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.
... just release a nice Mario Galaxy 1/2 & Wii bundle! Then I'll consider buying it.
but the PS Move and Kinect are now the gods of motion control gaming. the Wii had a nice long run, but as we all know, the newer technology gets the more people are drawn to it. and its the Wii's time now to say goodbye. No matter how much they drop their prices, if customer's are really looking for low prices and family games, then theyll probably rather turn to the more MODERN and mysteriously intriguing Xbox Kinect.
anyone else above a low budget family gamer will go with the PS Move. simple as that.
I don't agree with either comment tbh.
But not everyone bought a WII for motion control, there's a character, damm i cannot remmember his name, he's slightly fat, does plumbing on the side while looking for a princess.
Oh of course it's mario.
There are alot of games draw people to ninty, and some of them are good.
I don't know how many either SONY will SELL or MS with KINECT.
But nintendo's Wii has been dropping it's sales regardless.
Lol cool I guess. Looking forward to Donkey Kong Returns this holiday :]
They can afford to. The hardware must be very cheap to manufacture by now.
Little more drop and Kinect without console will be more expensive that a Wii.
