Even if they are really out of shape, they were playing Kinect all day. I remember them doing something similar back at Gamespot when the Wii was released. Unlike the Wii, they couldn't just sit down at the end and waggle with their wrist to play.

Dude they took breaks, and we saw them play, they are just fat.

The best is when Jeff is playing Your Shape and it guess his weight at 180 and it takes like 5 minutes for him to move it up to the proper weight.

Hahahahahah. Awkward moments in gaming. I felt bad when he tried to see if moving his hand in and out would speed the process up.

Played with Kinect today at a friend's house.

Dance Central: Like all music games, not my thing. All my friends loved it though, maybe even more than Rock Band and other music games.

Kinect Adventures: Had fun here but shit requires a lot of space when played with two players, I don't feel like moving my coffee table just so I can wave my cock around.

As for the menu, I don't like how you have to highlight everything just to enter/play it. The separate menu on the right was not needed too, just integrate it with the normal dash, man. And I didn't try this while sitting down so it was just tiring.

I feel like I can enjoy this thing but not now, need to see more games (like the TGS games) and need better Dashboard integration.

Microsoft announced today it has sold over one million units of its Kinect 3D camera controller for the Xbox 360, putting it on track to beat its target of 5 million sales by the end of the year.

"It's a strong start," Microsoft Interactive Entertainment Business SVP Don Mattrick said in an interview with Reuters. "Consumers are loving it."

The sales for Microsoft $150 camera controller, which encompass roughly ten days of availability in the U.S. and five days of availability in Europe, seem to compare favorably with those for Sony's PlayStation Move.

SCEE Chief Andrew House said that camera-based PS3 controller took a month to sell "on the order of 1.5 million units" in Europe.

A Gamasutra analysis of U.S. Move sales estimates that the controller reached one to three percent of the American PlayStation 3 audience in its first 15 days of availability, putting the camera-based wand controller in much less than a million U.S. homes in that period.

Sony said last month it had shipped one million PlayStation Move controllers in America.

Kinect's European launch combined with that of Call of Duty: Black Ops to make for the industry's highest-grossing week ever in the continent, according to industry analyst group Chart-Track.

A recent teardown of the Kinect hardware estimates that each unit costs Microsoft only $56 to produce, suggesting that Microsoft is making a healthy profit on each sale.

I blame sdf for that(online part),their constant spamming,trolling in every Kinect article has raised Kinect awareness to unbelievable heights(i saw posts about Kinect in Two Worlds 2 forums,lol)...not to mention that websites spammed articles about it just to get easy hits

But lets focus on the future,some rumor from IGN

Quote

According to our tip, Microsoft is using the Spike TV Video Games Awards (VGAs) to introduce some big action games, including new titles for the Kinect. The headliner is Gears of War for Kinect, coming straight from Epic Games. Now, we cannot clarify whether or not this is an all-new Gears of War for Kinect or if it's an existing Gears of War game, retro-fitted for the camera controller. But it definitely clicks with recent rumblings that Microsoft wants to get in front of the conventional wisdom that the Kinect is only a toy for casual gamers and family.

It's not Gears 3,Epic "denied" that,my guess...it will be the first hybrid title shown

Now something else,"hacked" Kinect working on PC
[youtube=560,345][/youtube]

Apparently depth sensor can capture 640x480 depth image,if the rumor about 360 using only 320x240 data is true,then you can expect that Kinect will magically get better sometime in the future...for some titles anyway

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."

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.

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.

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.”
