Kinect is irrelevant: analyst

What a professional sounding interview lol
 
Random analysts from firm no one has heard of makes controversial statement to get some publicity. Shocking
 
Pretty true though.
Kinect has been nothing but a time waster for my son.
He plays for a while but has outgrown it now.
It is more for young kids.

Kinext games are the only games we play (Although that has a lot to do with them generally being the only games with multiplayer)
Different strokes

Kinect games are a niche market and its great for some titles like Dance Central, Dance Central and Dance Central. The only other Kinect games my kids really enjoy are the Kinect Carnival and Fruit Ninja.

For me its like Singstar on the Playstation, we bought the mics for my daughter just to play Singstar and don't biatch that she cannot use it for any of her other games.


But I doubt the Kinect will be discontinued. Its a technology with great potential and after seeing what they are doing in the digital signage industry with it, I'm looking forward to that creeping into home automation and even security applications.
 
I was in Canada last week and in one mall the biggest attraction was the huge TV outside the Microsoft shop with some Dance game on it. Kids to pensioner's were grooving their thang to it every time I passed and no doubt it led to lots of parents being coerced into buying one or at least getting dragged into the shop.

Looked pretty popular to me.

It's fine for a while but it get old pretty quickly imo.
For me it just seemed like overly focused on kids games with the big avatar heads in classic xbox style, even the games were kid focused imo.
Give me a cool sport game or some decent fps.
 
Well there are over 3 million kinects bought that's a massive install base IMO it's just a question of creating the right games for the kinect. I was hoping to see a horror game that will make use of the kinect's ability to monitor heart rates
