I NEVER expected the TEMP (especially cause it's a gaming site) to hate Kinect this much.
I love my Wii over ALL the other gaming consoles in the WORLD. Don't get me wrong guys.
But look, I'm no couch potato and I LOVE the motion idea. I got the Wii cause it has motion, and was the only motion controlled console for it's time. However, the motion in the Wii is not really accurate but was good enough to make a hit.
Now seeing Kinect, there's some advanced motion. Yes, it is "copying" the Wii.
But it's like saying Nintendo copied SONY with buttons. Know what I mean? I don't call this copying it's simply video gaming and technology evolving over time.
I'll tell you what copying is in my opinion, the PSP. It phails. And they always release a new PSP right after a DS is released to add functions the DS didn't have. That's mean. The PSP copied the DS in like a million ways (I think they're too obvious to type down.) Just wait and you'll see a PSP with 2 screens.
So, as I was saying. Kinect isn't a copy of the Wii. The Wii has some really nice non-violent games that made big hits (e.g Mario Galaxy 2).
Xbox and Kinect have some more violent games that made it a hit. (e.g Yesterday's HALO REACH and MW2.)
I hope you know where I'm going with this.
I'm just saying, each system is different and unique as long as no one is copying the other.
Kinect is brand new, with better motion control.
I'm NEVER replacing my Wii with anything else.
I'm simply expanding the range of motion games I play by adding a console.
OK, I made my point clear.
Now, back to the topic.
Today noon I called the store. It was this Indian who answered and can't speak English all that well, but I'm used to it, we have tons of those around. (No offense Indians, I'm no racist
) Anyway, I began asking: "So I heard about the Kinect demo on facebook 2 days ago so I wanted to ask if you still have the demo in you're store." He replied in bad English but I was 120% sure he meant that today is the last day of the demo and that the demo starts at night so I'd better not miss it. In the evening I got dressed and went down to the mall and in the store. There was no demo or anything. I asked the guys on the counter where the Kinect demo was. They said "Aah, Kinect. Phinish Yesterday"
I kind of fumed.
I then started sorta arguing "You guys told me on the phone that today would be the last day and now you tell me it ended yesterday?!"
Then an Indian man on the left looked shocked and put his hand on his mouth and said "Oops... Sorry". That was the guy I talked to on the phone. There you have the story of why I couldn't see/show you Kinect.
Anyway at like 10:00 I talked to my friend who's like a huge Xbox fan. She said she saw the Kinect demo yesterday and said it was simply stunning. Really wished I saw it.
Anyway guys, if you manage to see kinect anywhere, remember, post here.
