Experience with Kinect
By TheBookNerd 6 Comments
I took my twin six-year-old sons to Macy's this weekend for a hands-on demo of Kinect. Not only was I not impressed, but neither was anyone else in the store. There was no line to wait in. And when we started playing, no one stopped to check out what we were doing. We had the whole thing to ourselves. A couple of times someone would walk by and comment, "Oh, it's like the Wii." On top of that, the guy giving the demo was some outsourced vendor. I felt like I was being sold Oxy Clean! Overall, I was not very impressed. It doesn't seem like Microsoft is doing enough to differentiate Kinect from the Wii or justify the $500+ pricetag (console + Kinect + game(s)). I've yet to see or play any title that makes me want to own that thing.
