I don't think you quite understand.
Oh I do, but that doesn't make you right.
Have you even seen what the old Xbox LIVE looks compared to the newest one? On top of that, Microsoft has announced a THIRD update at E3!
Considering I've both SEEN E3 and have a 360 myself, yes. That doesn't change my point though.
This shows change, progress.
You sound as if they just invented the wheel or something. It's just an interface change which again, doesn't do anything to enhance the games themselves.
The arcade system is changed to make it more friendly, Netflix, facebook, and Twitter was introduced seamlessly, a rating system so people knew what they were getting on Arcade and Indie Games, even the ability to download games from Xbox LIVE, a feature never before added, is now an integral part of the Xbox Experience.
Every.single.one of those is ultimately pointless and adds nothing to the GAMES. After all, it's a game console is it not? Tell me one person who'd buy a 360 because of facebook and twitter support >_>
And let's not forget the fact that Microsoft gives you adds in ADDITION to paying the yearly fee for live, while the people without live get an ad free dash board. So much for change eh?
but I will not disregard sales, yes the Wii has destroyed Microsoft and Sony in sales, but
You are essentially disregarding them by just glancing over them like that. The Wii's success proves there's no need for "change".
the 11-year old dunderheads (my sixth grade self) who freaked out over the Wii in 2006 have learned by now, as halfway decent folk of 16, that when it comes to games, quality > quantity.
Again, stop passing off opinion as fact. Just because you declare Wii games to have less quality, that doesn't make it so.
People buy game consoles to play games. From this and the Wii's 87.8 million sales, we can infer that in the eyes of the mass market, the Wii has more quality games.
I think all the features can be fleshed out thoroughly, and the fact that you can play board games on it is kind of neat. Definitely worth me at least poking the **** thing.
Which again, is nothing but pointless additions. Any smart phone can play board games, provided you have an app for it. And unless they actually show games, the promise of "
otential" ultimately means nothing.
And again, because the PS3 and Xbox 360 was able to easily access and assimilate new things to their hardware
Like? I'm sure you remember the Wii having "hardware enhancements" also.
(the eyetoy only acknowledged if you were there or not)
Not quite. What the Eyetoy did was track movements, regardless of them being human or not.
Say what you will about gimmicks, but full body recognition in 3 dimensions?
Which right now is used for Wii ripoff games and replacing simple button commands with voice commands. Unless they make a game that truly takes advantage of it, all the potential amounts to nothing.
How is it possible that something that powerful can have its own dashboard and play such a major role in how one can run their console? a quick patch, and you're Xbox is up and ready to use the Kinect sensor!
Console addons are nothing new. Even before the Eye Toy even. 32X anyone? Thing is though, the best add-on is worthless when it's lacking in the most important factor: games. Needless to say, this is the prime reason why these console addons have failed (and will continue to unless some effort is put into good games).
It's this streaming of material, the ability to update and change on a whim, that will actually be the death of consoles, in exchange for a newer system of acquiring games, the ability to stream games to any electronic with a screen. For more information, this
Any opinions yourself apart from just linking Extra Credits? The way I see it, this is a prediction. It could happen, or it could not.
Remember when people predicted every game would be episodic?
Remember when they said online game distribution would completely kill the retail market?
