[QUOTE="Firelore29"][QUOTE="Khadaj32"]Lol, hype. The 3DS has hype. Zelda Wii has hype. Halo and KZ3 have hype. Natal and PSMove have all eyes on them to see who is going to fail harder.
And that train of thought is badly flawed. If you're old enough to have kids you should be old enough to think logically. Nintendo Wii is only $200, and includes two games with a bunch of motion controlled mini games on them, plus the M+. For $200. The PSMove is believed (or confirmed? Not sure) to cost $100, and Kinect is obviously not going to cost any less than that. Maybe the same, but probably a little higher, around $150. Speculation of course, but probably accurate. So please, tell me why casual gamers are going to drop $400+ for either of the HD's plus their respective motion controlled peripherals whe they can get the Wii for half that?
Keep in mind something else. Casuals have no clue what E3 is. They don't keep up with gaming news, their only exposure is television commercials. As for marketing, I've seen a helluva lot more PS3 commercials than 360 ones. The last 360 one I saw was Mass Effect, while the MLB 10 The Show one plays about a dozen times during the course of a ball game.

Casuals find out about great new games / tech because their sons, friends, and realitives show them something. When Kinect comes out they will show it off. Microsoft has already announced a new game system that will come with Kinect packaged. It will sell. you're like a broken record. NO one argued that it won't sell at first, it's the simple fact that will it deliver as promised and FAIL are in the end due to it not working as marketed. you're implying that even a rubbish product can selling millions and NOT fail because it's hyped and marketed enough. You are absoulty correct I am repeating myself and I need to get back to work. I have nothing more to add to this conversation. I've stated the way it is, and what will happen, perhaps you agree with me perhaps not but I'm tagging this thread for future refrence and I fully expect you all to admit you were wrong in a year or so.
