Kinect May Support PC Games After All

[Strider-Hiryu_79]

This isn't news Tom's. If you actually stopped listening and siding with all the "I hate consoles" banner and actually did your research and listened when kinect was first announced you would know that the original plan was to develop it first for consoles and eventually PC support.

Peace out noobs.

It would be smart to release it with ONLY Windows 7 support. Would be another way to sell more licenses.

you have no idea how correct your words sound , microsoft not only ahs shafted PC in recent years , but originalkly when teh 2 goons behind the originam xbox took the idea of doiung a console to Bill Gates , he turned them down on it. Bill gates changed his mind when sony started directly runing ads that compared the ps2 ot pc's (at apress confrence Sony's CEO even went as far as sayign ps2 will kill PC' s )

and truth be told the original xbox was only half heartedly supported but teh company as a whole and most upper employees never thought they would make a second one, fast forward to today, and now the entire company seems to be reversed , support xbox 360 mostly in games with little to no game support for the pc , jsut look at games for windows , it's a hal;f a-- attmept to make it look like MS still cares about pc gaming. if it was a serious effort they would have already fixed the down laod bug for win xp users ( which is stil a heavily used OS)

[citation][nom]dalethepcman[/nom]Microsoft is just being lazy, they see the hacking community doing what they would have to pay developers to do, as soon as someone makes a commercially viable product microsoft will buy them and Blamo! Kinect PC is born...[/citation]
I wouldn't say lazy, that's more like genius.
How do you get the world's best unsigned software people to write code without paying them?
Tell them they shouldn't, cast the rod and wait for those fishies to bite.
Whilst simultaniously tech websites, (like this one), provide them with hundreds of millions of dollars of free advertising.
Absolute genius.

[citation][nom]ScoobyJooby-Jew[/nom]Most people probably can't support it hardware wise. There's still a massive number of computers out there with p4 and Win XP[/citation]


too bad most users on Tomshardware and most people that develop 3rd party apps and users of 3rd party apps can support. All you need at most is a dual core and a graphics card.
