Oh yeah? What about hardcore gamers with wives who have hot female friends? It is made of win to have a wii/wii fit in this situation, so I can see it being just as advantageous to have Kinect. (HAH! You cannot beat my Yoga scores... oh yeah? Do it!)

Just finished a 18-hour Gears of War session, now its time to play Pretty Dancing Fairy Princesses! Yeah, not gonna happen.

For $150, is anyone really going to by Kinect before they see that killer title they want to play? That's a steep price for something that MIGHT be useful.

People knock on the price of Wii controllers, but those work in ALL Wii games. You don't lose the investment in a second WiiMote because the new game you just bought doesn't use it. With Kinect, and its limited list of titles, its a lot of money to invest for little return at this particular time. If you think they'll release better titles in the future, might as well wait until they do.

What I'm eagerly awaiting is what will happen to games, once this Kinect thing has been reverse engineered for the PC... Mmmmmm...

I think they meant "retarded gamers who lack understanding in the value of a dollar", not "hardcore".

This makes consoles even less complicated and further dumbs down gameplay.

Only took 4 years after the vision cam to try again.
Atleast they have more than Totemball backing it.

If Microsuck is thinking about convincing people this thing is really cool, they are just plain stupid. Most people like controllers.

That's like playing it 4 times in a row. Man, you are what hardcore is.

[citation][nom]soldier37[/nom]Really hardcore gamers and crapbox do not mix! Hardcore gamers are us adults with multi thousand dollar setups thank you! Consoles are for the teenie boppers whos parents buy them. Minus the ones that bought a PS3 for a blu ray player like myself for it was the best of its time and still is as far as a media center. Microsoft is certainly milking the teet on this cow 5 year old outdated garbage![/citation]

i thought you had a great point there.... and then you mentioned - ps3 is the best. lol!

Hardcore gamers do not play on consoles? This article is ABOUT console gaming, so why are you here? Trolling for attention? This is the year 2010 my friend, PC gaming is DEAD, relocated to the back of the "antiquated" isle, next to the zip drives and 3.5 floppies. Consoles are IN thing now buddy. You can keep updating your drives and graphics cards every year, I like the rest of the world have moved on. Get with the program already, END OF STORY! PS, that members only jacket ain't helping.

Hardcore gamers as in idiots who buy anything. Otherwise known as early adopters. I don't see it catching on with casual gamers since they'll probably still get the Wii if they haven't already. And normal gamers aren't going to buy it because they'd rather use a controller and play "real" games. They see Natal as a gimmick. So that leaves idiots who buy anything, and those who are curious and have money to waste.
