Xbox Gets Slim, Natal Becomes Kinect

[BreakABone]

You two seem so nice and cozy together.

I will say this though.
If you want to see the success/failure of Kinect/Ps Move I would look at this generation itself.

Where we had two highly successful peripherals in terms of sales, and they get no support whatsoever.

The balance board is close to 30 million sold and the Wii Motion Plus is over 20 million sold, and now included in every Wii.

To put it into perspective, the balance board is 75% of the Xbox 360's userbase and about 95% of the PS3 userbase, and outside of Wii Fit and Wii Fit Plus, you can probably count on one hand the games that use it in a meaningful way (I believe officially there are close to 50 or so but most of them are eh)

Now if something with that sizable userbase can't get proper support after 2 1/2 years on the market, why would an unknown device that caters to a completely different audience than the ones who own the console sell?

Kinect and Move exist for two reasons
1) To prolong this generation until tech becomes cheaper and so MS/Sony can turn a better profit.
2) Destroy some of the mind/market share Nintendo has developed this gen.
