Microsot has failed me

[xXI GaMe IXx]

I'am a huge Xbox 360 fanboy I will admit it. I do own a PS3 that I play frequently but I just love my 360 more. I told my self I would only buy one motion control system and after what I saw last night and read about this morning Microsoft has failed to deliver any hardcore games to take advantage of. The same friend that was there says that it really felt to him like an eye toy. He said the crowd looked really pissed but they did have a star wars demo that looked decent So there for they better have a decent press conference and show me some games Sony does not offer if they want to stay. I better see some good 1st party Exclusives that are beast are I am ****ing DONE!

I had high Hopes for this thing and from what I herd from a friend that people were actually walking out from the Natal event.They better even show something different about Gears of War 3 some kind of new Gameplay and better not show me Black ops or Assasins creed 2 or and 3rd party exclusives because I can all that with Sony

It is hysterical that the only thing people liked is the Star Wars game. And now people are going on about it being pre-rendered or pre-recorded. You can see the guy moving after the character.

Is there game play of it?I'm going buy what a friend told me but would to see it in action.

I read the SW game is on rails, so you have to wave your arms around at certain points to trigger events to happen - a bit like the old Namco light gun games.

So far ALL the Kinetic games fall under the "party game" umbrella; that aint gonna sell it to the hard core.

MS probably doesn't give a flying F as far as Kinetic and the hard core are concerned.

There's a huge casual market and MS wants a piece.

I wonder if the wii buying publics memory is that short. There's a lot of wii's collecting dust in various houses that I know of.

They still have their conference where they'll probably announce some hardcore titles.

There's the problem.

With the Wii it's a one-time only buy-in price.

With Natal, {and I refuse to call it anything else} you have to buy the 360 and THEN the Natal on top of that.

Same with the Playstation version Move, anyone who thinks that these will either a} be good enough that hardcore folks would want to play it on a regular basis, or b} will take casual marketshare away from Nintendo are fooling themselves.

It seems like your computer typing failed you based on the thread title.

It seems that Microsoft is done with this gen so they aren't exactly going to put all their resources into the 360 anymore. Behind the scenes, most of their dev team is hammering away at Xbox 3.0. I fully expect to see it announced next E3 with a holiday release. Natal, Kinect or whatever it is will be fully integrated into that machine. Think of the 360 addon as a dry run to work out the bugs and give the software devs some extra time with it.

Move for PS3 will probably be the same deal, testing the waters, experimenting with those willing to pay for it.

Nah, the next gen isn't happening anytime soon (nor in the next year or two).

Their conference was one joke after another. More sad than anything else.

Next year I give it 50/50, in two years, it is guaranteed. Microsoft wants to be first again. Their head start in this gen is what kept them in the lead for so long. They aren't about to give that up, especially as the PS3 starts to bloom and 360 sales taper off compared to its early years. It will be easier for them to say PS3 was last generation, we don't care about it. We are the next generation of gaming.
