NowGamer: "Kinect is out this week! The last contender in the great motion control arms race has left the traps, completing the motion triumvirate and kicking off what will be a very interesting few years ahead. Kinect, Wii and Move aren't just new ways to control games, they are now changing the gaming demographic, altering the way studios perceive development and perhaps most important of all, enhancing our immersion."
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.
Is anyone else sick of these comparisons?
it says
Move is clearly the front-runner here, but hey, Kinect has only just come out so we’re in no way writing it off at such an early stage. Move simply has the most precise control method around and the stongest game roster for both the casual and core crowds. This will pan out for Kinect in time however, and Nintendo is doing fine other than it just needs a new console. Let’s just say the next year or two will be very interesting indeed.
another one?
I havent tried any of the three and i really dont want to spend my hard earned cash on them im sticking to the old dual shock and xbox remotes!
