All hype. All Gimic.
Typical M$. They just don't bother to think things out. No wonder their stock is in the toilet compared to Nintendo. |

Its not going to work. Towards the end of the video trailer, the game show they were playing asked "How many pushups can Chuck Norris do?" Everybody knows Chuck Norris doesn't push up. He pushs the Earth away from him.

I don't know if that technology is even feasible at a practical level today. I'd say maybe in 10-15 years it will be ready for the consumer market, but as of now, it utilizes a large number of technologies that are expensive and not generally available to all.

interesting that they are thinking of ways to push boundaries but no practical application. holding empty space for a steering wheel? that sucks. not to mention the hardware and programming issues involved.

They did it with the WII , they can do it with anything else. Heck , microsoft is paying quite a few developers to get their games out before the end of the year. MS is making lots of money off the xbox ,and they want to put the final nail in the sony coffin , and make way on the xbox. I'd be willing to pay quite a bit of money for something like this , expecially if I could use one of my personal ARs in modern warfare 2 :D |

That's bullshit... What the hell am I going to through across the room when some 12 y/o kid pixel shoots me from across the map over and over again shortly after spawning?

I'm still waiting for a full-blown flightstick, throttle, and pedal combo for the XBox 360 and some flight sims.

My guess is that if this is the next platform release for the Xbox that it will work about as well as Nintendo's Wii does now. That is, it does work, but not quite as well as you would like it to.
I envisioned the next version of Nintendo's Wii as one that would involve multiple sensors placed upon your body at your joints as well as a pressure sensitive mat that would be placed out for you to stand and jump around upon as well. Microsoft seems to be trying to skip a generation of technology that I just described. Kudos to them if they can pull it off, but I have my doubts. As I stated before, it will probably work as well, proportionately, as the Wii does now. At least it better if they want it to be at all marketable. It certainly is a skip in interactive technology that I wasn't expecting. Are there other areas where such technology is being used in a non-retail basis that is working well? |

Time Magazine article about it. Sounds like it's already functional.
http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1902208,00.html Can you imagine COD4 or Left 4 Dead with this?  |

They've made deals with all these manufacturers, the manufacturers sell their machines with windows already installed, people buy them, etc. |

I see the future...and I see...numerous negligent discharges right through 58" plasma televisions. It would be funny as hell if somehow Microsoft could rig their system to be so sophisticated that it wouldn't allow a weapon to operate in a game if it was scanned without a magazine inserted. |

I thought it looked utterly lame at first, complete gimmick.
The people who have played with it say that not only does it work, it works REALLY well. |

No, they dominate because of a long history of unlawful anti-competitve market tactics. In fact, Microsoft was the single biggest beneficiary of 9/11, where the DoJ got redirected to the muslims. Europe, on the other hand fined Microshit 600,000,000.00 Euros. |

I would just settle for a PC that would allow for some Minority Report type use, over a keyboard and mouse. I can't imagine how they would solve issues as simple as walking. Fuck you would run into a wall trying to play most games.
