This thing was dead before it's kickstarter even got funded. My Android phone is more powerful than this thing is and people making games for android aren't going to aim at a console that has fewer instals than samsung s2's alone. This thing was a pipe dream from day one, it is going down like the chopped tree in the forest. No one is going to hear it cause no one with any sense cared.

Hasn't it been proven time and time again that power is mostly irrelevant? PS2 won over Xbox, 360 won over PS3, etc. Granted, the comparison between years-old consoles and constantly updated phone specs isn't the same, but had they unveiled different specs that were 6 months more advanced, your complaint would still hold... 6 months from now. The basic premise of the OUYA is that you have a dedicated platform to code for (rather than a billion phones), not that it's supposed to be the most mind-blowingest tech on the market. There's a reason it costs a measly 100 bucks.

I'm curios, what are you getting for defending it?

Alan Wake isn't bad. It's just that you are flawed as a human being.

These polls are getting so pointless and strange. I mean, why the fuck do you want to know this, why does it matter? Are you from a toilet or plumbing company and gathering research? Are you a freak with a toilet fetish? Seriously, what is the fucking point of this?

it's not a poll

Insomnic should have stayed with sony. I know Resistance 3 sold poorly, but a next gen one would have done alright, and I bet Sony always helped them out with funding since it's their IP.
I am almost positive we will see a new Sony exclusive after this game.

Having a Xbox one with Kinect connected at all times is not the same as having your phone monitored. And that's because with phones, e-mails, skype, etc I can control what I say and how I act. And stuff like Facebook and twitter is public so even more so.

Also, as I said in other topics, when it comes to webcams not only that I can disconnect them when I'm not talking to someone on a PC, but I also know enough about computers to at least have some asurance that there is not a software constantly sending information, so even with a laptop or MAC I would still feel ok. If someone really wanted to spy on me I bet they could do it, but at least webcams don't come with terms of use that say they have the right to collect info about you (just read the microsoft kinect terms of use).

WIth XBox one I don't know how it works and when its sending info about me and the fact that the current kinect has stuff like that in terms of use is even scarier. But worse is that with kinect they will see my entire room, and it also needs to be powered on EVERYTIME I turn on the console. So if I want to play a game in the morning in my underwear, I first need to put some clothes on, while playing I can't pick my nose if I want to and so on. And what if I have a girl watching a movie and then we start doing something else? I need to go turn that thing off.

I know I am probably a bit paranoid about how much info kinect actually collects, but we can never know. It will probably be immaculate at first, but what about 5 years in? Why should we trust that a corporation has the best interest in us when that is clearly not the case?

Oh, have you read the news about that guy that was arested after the Boston incidents because he said something on facebook? Get ready to have that happen in your house. It may not happen in the next 5 years, hell may not even happen with kinect, but we are getting there.
