What is the first thing that comes to mind whenever you think of motion-controlled games? Surely, with most gamers, it is probably the Wii console. However, with the current launch of the most-anticipated Microsoft Kinect motion-sensing video game program, it hasn’t been that way lately. The Kinect console guarantees exciting brand new games with an increased improvement to the Xbox 360 gaming encounter, and parent and kids alike are pouring into stores hoping to get their hands on the new video game program.
Still selling after having sold 2.5 million Kinects
Microsoft made an announcement Monday that 2.5 million Kinects have already been sold just after 25 days of launching it. This had been over Black Friday weekend. Before the holidays are over, the business expects that 5 million can have been sold.
“We are thrilled about the consumer response to Kinect,” Don Mattrick who’s the president of the Interactive Entertainment Business at Microsoft explained, “and are working hard with our retail and manufacturing partners to expedite production and shipments of Kinect to restock shelves as fast as possible to keep up with demand.”
More than 60,000 stores in 38 countries sell the Kinect.
What the Microsoft Kinect does
The Microsoft Kinect system eliminates the need for hand controllers altogether. With the Kinect system, you can turn your Xbox 360 into a voice-activated console. But it does way more than just that. Video recapturing and facial recognition is within the console as well. It could be used to select TV shows that you like. Even digital artwork can be done on it. You are likely to love the Kinect console a ton if you love the Xbox Live too. The Xbox Live experience gets even better since you use cameras and microphones to have a webcam chat with more than one friend at a time.
Reviews and sales for Kinect looking good
Since your body is the controller which is as opposed to the Wii and PlayStation Move, the Microsoft Kinect is loved by people. The next big thing in video games is likely to be motion-sensing consoles. This is shown within the fact that the Kinect has sold like hotcakes while reviews are amazing.
