Has any company rode a product to the death of themselves like Microsoft and The Kinect?

I mean the console division of Microsoft at least, we know PC wise they'll always make billions of profit a year.

But cot damn :wtf: I cant understand why they are so fukkin attached to the fukkin Kinect :wtf:

not only have I never met anyone who ever bought the kinect for the 360, but I never even heard anyone ever talk about it..ever :wtf:

I mean its pretty much the sole reason they rode out the $500 price tag, even offering inferior specs to the PS4 which was $100 less. Did some executive high up really sit in his chair spinning around on some :smugbiden: I aint worried bout the PS4 being less expensive and more powerful, we'll kill em with the kinect :smugbiden: these mafukkin families fiending for that kinect tennis :smugbiden:






:wtf: I just cant wrap my head around it :mindblown: Kinect wasnt even a huge hit for the 360, why'd they think people would spend $100 more on a xbox1 that came out almost same time as their rival console soley based on something that already proven to flop in the previous generation :mindblown:

they really riding this shyt to the death of em.. no one can possibly think another xbox will ever come out again, right? This is Dream Cast status.. If they would of made a kinect less version for $350 they'd be hand in hand with PS4 in sales.. $50 less money for a less quality product, makes sense.. right ? I mean makes sense to everyone not in the xbox executive offices :mindblown:

btw the idea that if the PC crowd doesn't care about it, then chances are the console crowd won't care once the initial intrigue wears off still holds true.

Look at:
The Wii
The Kinect so far

What do console gamers want?
Better graphics
Free to play games
Preloading of games
An open digital marketplace

Nokia only going windows phone was a smart move actually.

Forced Microsofts hand, they wanted to be bought out
They wanted to be bought out, because they weren't' doing well. They weren't doing well, because they made the mistake of doubling down on Windows Phone.

Negative, Nokia was actually doing worse before WP

Breh??? Why the hate and questioning of Kinect??? Kinect is great for the future... In addition to gaming and enhancing life, Kinect is being used by the most intelligent people in the world for the sake of improving society and mankind.

You will be grateful when that break through comes when with the help of Kinect the cure for Cancer and Aids is found...... In addition to speaking directly to characters in games and a vast number of other things.

Stop fighting the future man..... Catch up or get left behind!!!:ufdup:

The kinect is about 3-4 years to early....If they added it on the next gen console 7 years from now it would have stuck..The actual tech for the kinect is amazing and is the future......just not yet....

there's a large sector of the population that's not interested in having an always on camera/microphone in their home.
