Sales of Xbox 360 in the UK doubled last week off the back of the launch of Kinect, Eurogamer has learnt.

The spike was confirmed this afternoon by sales monitor Chart-Track, a spokesperson stating that, while specific figures could not be revealed, it was "more than a fair reflection" to say the figure was double that of the previous week.

The boost is understood to have widened substantially the gap between Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with Sony's biggest hope for a pre-Christmas surge coming next week with the release of the long-delayed Gran Turismo 5.

A senior publishing source added: "360 doubled last week and it was already selling a lot. Wii and PS3 have been beaten by 360 consistently over the past few months.

"Wii is still outselling PS3 – the numbers are going the wrong way for Nintendo year-on-year but it's certainly not a disaster."

Okay.  I played Kinect at Best Buy and I'm planning to buy in the next few days  :o

I'm not only a new tech nerd, i was surprised at how well it worked.  My only question is are there any real games out (not sports compilations or exercise shit or mini games).  i'm going to probably get kinect sports with it but I want something else too.  The only thing I've seen is Harry Potter.  Is there any news on upcoming games?

This.  I don't understand the hate.  Kinect, Move and Waggle are a maturing platform and it will take a while for games that make good use of them to come out but there are certainly games out for them now that are fun.

I can't find Dance Masters anywhere but I heard it's a lot better than Dance Central so I'll wait til I can find it.  I think I'm getting Kinect Sports for now and maybe Kinectimals in a couple of weeks.

basically people have been shitting out all this "end of gaming" crap since the Wii blew up. There are still tons of shooters, RPGs, action games, strategy game coming out and being developed. There will be a market for "real" games for many years yet. But this motion shit looks real cool and fun so I'm gonna check it out.

I think I've said this before but I have zero interest in Kinect. Would never buy it. Have no interest in it. Same as with Move or The Wii.


But I do kind of like when things piss off the "hardcore".

Its funny.

Really?  I thought most people said it was the opposite.

I have both; Dance Central is the "real" dance game that will teach you moves and give you some exercise.  Dance Masters is more arcadey and is just dance/posing stuff. You don't really dance in that game so much as you strike poses and make motions with your arms.

Also Dance Central is just one person at a time.  You can play Dance Masters with 2P together.

No Kinect voice recognition in NZ

Kunect for Xbox launches in Nu Zeelund tomorrow but will not include voice recugnition support as local accents are too hard to understand, says Microsoft.

In a statemunt, Microsoft explains, “Because of the complexity of solving for languages and accents voice support will roll out across the world in waves. In [autumn] 2011, Kinect voice support will be available in Canada (French), France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia and New Zealand.”

Dance Central is LEGIT. Fantastic game. I love the music and I love dancing. I'm bushed after a couple of hours after playing, this is a serious workout. And the instruction is awesome, I'm learning new moves to use IRL all the time. Stoked they put some New Jack Swing in there too!

Kinectimals is also great. Obviously a game geared towards young children but the quality just shines. Amazing animation for the cubs, they're so cute! I'm gonna rinse it for 1000 then give it to my 7 year old brother (Dads buying him a kinect I think).

Kinect Adventures seemed pretty spastic and gay but whatever. Pack in game.

I bought it last night and played kinect adventures.  It was the shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!  But I started feeling sick yesterday afternoon so I had to stop a bit.  Today I'm buying the wall mount.

I heard Dance Masters is more like DDR which is right up my alley as opposed to learning real moves. 

Sceneman: You'd be surprised.  Playing with the racquet ball thing is surprisingly fun dude.

Japanese Developers Comment on Kinect

http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/11/19/kinect_commentary/

Quote
Futatsugi, director of Panzer Dragoon and Phantom Dust, is working on the tentatively titled Project Draco to be published by Microsoft in 2011. Draco is a 3D flight shooting game. Players use Kinect to communicate with a dragon, raising it and making it learn skills, with the hopes of deepening your bond with the creature. In the game's online mode, you can fly through the skies with your friends.

For their work on Kinect, Futatsugi and his staff are taking care to ensure that players can enjoy themselves for lengthy periods without betting tired. They're paying attention to such things as the length of a single map and the frequency of enemy attacks. Explained Futatsugi, Project Draco is not a party type game where everyone enjoys themselves for brief periods, but is rather the type of game into which players sink their teeth. Because of this, they're developing the game to keep players from being tired while still delivering a control scheme that delivers a direct feel of movement.

As a sales point for the game, he said, "Don't you want to be able to actually experience the feeling of communicating with a dragon and riding it into battle? I do."
