What is Kinect’s Target Demographic?
Sarah LeBoeuf of Gamervision.com wonders who Microsoft is marketing Kinect to: "A few weeks ago, Microsoft finally officially announced what retailers and gamers had already assumed: Kinect will launch for $149.99. Apparently, the publisher thinks that price is totally reasonable for the camera peripheral, especially since it comes bundled with Kinect Adventures. As someone who has already invested a lot of money in consoles, accessories, and games this generation, I honestly can’t understand where this logic comes from. Microsoft is advertising Kinect and its games as accessible family-friendly fun, but the price suggests otherwise. The situation begs the question: is anyone with only a passing interest in video games really going to pay that kind of money for any of the upcoming Kinect bundles?"
