    Lucky SOB's getting a free xbox while everyone else has to fork out for what should have come out in the first place, instead of leaving us with "40 million+" may get RROD pieces of crud. BTW mine died about 2 days ago.

    this conference is lame the only good stuff was gears 3, fable 3, and halo reach I thought it was so cool until I saw the sony one. I dont understand microsoft all there exclusives are geared more towards the hardcore and now there kinect is geared towards kids dance central was the only thing that looked cool on kinect. sony however is making awesome games for everyone for the hardcore killzone 3, twisted metal, for the casual infamous 2 and LBP2 its got games and experiences for everyone

    it kind of freaks me out, harvesitng anti-social behavior in kids and adults as well. Games without control are normally called out door activities, so this is just the beginning of microsoft downfall. This just looks way dumber than the wii

    Why would the PS3 be much better Houmdi?

    It's not the beginning product that's going to decide the future, it's all the improvements and innovations on the existing technology that will prove the winner. The company that can better capitalize on the strengths of its console and the wants of its target market will do the best. It's fine to hypothesize who can do a better job, but really, let's face it: not one console has yet unarguably dominated the gaming market. Perhaps they won't for a long time still. So what if PS3, in your opinion, is better than the 360. If Microsoft has more sales, they make more money, and thus have more funding for research and creation projects. That's not to say the PS3 is indeed better than the 360 (state 10 significant reasons why and then also add why it's not dominating the market), but simply put: no console is better than the other (yet). Maybe the Move, this time around, is racked by technical difficulties as the rushed 360 was months after its debut.

    But to end this long comment, I'll say I think the Kinect will do the best. It's games do remind me of how the Wii started out, but it's only a matter of time before developers turn their attention to the new technology. If all three companies are using motion-technology, we can expect to see all the genres in games following the same path.

    I can't wait until the next E3. It's bound to be one hell of a gaming showcase.

    the PS3 is much much better.

    What's up with that guy Don Mattrick, i mean, it's great everything comming up for 360 even if they have to rebuild the console and sell it again,i wish to have one. but the vice president looks like drug! or the way he behaves makes my thing that some thing is wrong with him.

    I hope he doesn't have a chronic disease. i could feel bad if it is the case.

    Xbox 360 kinect beats the Wii 10/1

    I think the adventure game might be cool. Let see $150 plus tax and $60 plus tax = $225. To get a picture of me standing on one foot with my arms waving around. Well I guess I spent that much at an amusement park just get a pic of me with my tongue hanging out on roller coaster.

    @thugzilla2killa Nobody cares buddy. You are obviously a ps3 fanboy, who is trolling. No publisher will ever say one console is better then the other, just that they prefer the one over the other, resulting in exclusives. Also, it's purely subjective which is better.

    Now please. I'm getting fed up with these flame wars about consoles. Live with the fact that none is better.

  • thugzilla2killa

    @rage-demon
    That's how any industry works, just so you know. One great mind comes up with a revolutionary idea, and the others in the industry take that idea and expand upon it. It's the nature of the beast so don't knock Microsoft for doing it.

    @HeWhoRocksAlot: "Microsoft, in the other hand, is introducing new way to experience motion gaming by detecting our own moment and voice with no controller required"

    You mean that Kinect device that's a lot like the Eye Toy/PlayStation Eye? Sounds to me that all Microsoft did was copy the same motion concept that Sony already had and take it one step further. Yeah, see what I did there? Truth is, Kinect is just a beefed up version of what Sony had introduced with the PS2, and continued with the PS3. Just like how the Playstation Movie is just a beefed up version of what Nintendo has with the Wiimote. Honestly, while the concept for Kinect sounds cool, in practice it probably won't do so well. PS Move on the other hand is the best combination between the Wii's motion controller and the Kinect's video capture.

    Just remember though, the games, and how well they play, is what will really determine which one does better. Though I'm betting that Move will handle aiming in first-person shooters better than Kinect. As Kevin Butler says: "Come on, who wants to pretend their hand is a gun. What is this? The 3rd grade? Pew! Pew!" I just don't see that as working.

    Unfortunately, Gamespot requires that you upgrade to a monthly-payment subscription service in order to access some of their top features, like HD movie downloads and the like.

    @spy2828 you do know... that Microsoft are the ones that produce Xbox 360s... right?

  • HeWhoRocksAlot

    Posted Jun 30, 2010 9:36 pm PT

    With this new motion control gaming war between Microsoft and Sony, Microsoft won. Why??? because all Sony did was copy the same motion concept that Nintendo already had with their controllers, but with a nice light bulb on it. Sony even had the nerve to say that there new motion control is something that we never experience, even though the Nintendo Wii had the idea first. Microsoft, in the other hand, is introducing new way to experience motion gaming by detecting our own moment and voice with no controller required. All we need for Kinect camera and we're good for a good number of people to play at once.
    Sony, on the other hand, required a number devices needed to complete for just one person (and it ain't cheap).

    Seriously though, they keep saying that Kinect = "intuitive" games but what I keep seeing is that Kinect = "dumber" games. Forget anything like strategy or thinking with Kinect. Now it's all flailing around in your living room like a doofus... I hope they don't ship mirrors. Okay, maybe that was a little harsh, but you see what I mean. i really think that Sony's approach (i.e. BUTTONS) captures the best of both worlds: both physical immersion and interactive complexity. Ultimately however, PCs will always be the kings of depth and complexity of control. my post is too long.
