Kinect Is Better Value Than Move Or Wii Says Microsoft

This is interesting as if you count the fact that the Kinect will cost $150/£129/150EUR then having to buy another Wiimote looks like good value we’d say Mr Greenberg, wouldn’t you?

Another thing to keep in mind is that the Kinect price is on top of the console price whereas the Wii is bundled with the controller already. This is just nit-picking but it annoys me when I see quotes like this.

Why are these corporations so bitchy? You would expect they’s know better!

“If you think about the console bundle as a standalone, what you have to keep in mind is, when you get the console and the sensor and the game, when you add another player to that experience you don’t have to buy another wand, another controller, another Nunchuk… It’s all included in the experience.” – Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg

Microsoft’s Kudo Tsunoda Talks Wii, Kinect

kudo_tsunoda

The main person responsible for the design and creation of Microsoft’s Kinect, Kudo Tsunoda, has told Nintendolife that he doesn’t see his new peripheral as a successor to the Wiimote because “there’s just so much more that we can do with our technology”. That maybe true but at least you don’t have to stand up the whole time you’re playing it!

“There is a promise in the Wii that is very hard to deliver in any kind of controller-based stuff. Even their very first E3 demos that came out – and you’re playing tennis, and everybody’s up and you’re going like this and you’re playing tennis and it’s awesome, look at that! Anybody who watches those things getting played, you’re just sitting here doing your little thing like this [does small movements with wrist]. That’s how controller-based games are played. Nothing against the Wii, because I like playing the Wii, I like Wii games, and it’s a great system, but I do think there is some unfulfilled promise there…
