Kinect


Kinect Microsoft, developed at the absurdity and supported by Oprah, it seems to beat rival Sony controller Move by a factor of about 00:57. An announcement was made today that one million have been sold in just ten days, far exceeding the amount of displacement that has been sold since September.
With millions sold and the possibility of another million to be bought before the holiday, the market for effective hacks will become quite large. I was impressed with the ability to move, but people who already blew my mind with things Kinect too. The future is here, though it is not necessarily the same future Microsoft ads.
Limitations and dangers of the system have been discussed ad nauseum, but it appears that the average consumer could only find the idea interesting. This is something of a concession to the crowd grew casual games, but I think we will also see some blockbuster games at once developers feel what can and can not be done.
