Gamestop sieht Kinect vor Move 2010

10.11.10 - Die amerikanische Einzelhandelskette Gamestop erwartet in diesem Weihnachtsgeschäft, dass Microsofts Kinect das Rennen bei den Bewegungs-Controllern machen und Sonys PlayStation Move abhängen wird. Diese Einschätzung gab Bob McKenzie ab, der als Vice President bei Gamestop beschäftigt ist.

Kinect hat die erste Absatzprognosen von Gamestop bereits übertroffen. Außerdem scheint sich das Marketing von Microsoft auszuzahlen, das bei USD 500 Mio. liegt. Damit hat Microsoft Marketing und Werbung für Kinect betrieben, wie es sonst nur für Hollywood Blockbuster Filme im Sommer gemacht wird.

I just had a weekend that resembled, in many ways, the ridiculous and saccharine videos of happy families gathered around a Kinect sensor. I wouldn't describe the joy as absolute on my part, but for the people they've chosen to aim their weapon at, they've gained tremendous ground.

When my son hold his arms a certain way, and for some reason the Kinect thinks that he has mutated horribly and now his elbows have disintegrated and his arms are projecting backward from his shoulder blades, I shake my head. I call bullshit on that: not only is it not tracking him appropriately, it's chosen to interpret the data in a way that is frankly impossible for any human body. You know what my son does in this situation?

He laughs.

Not only are its very real problems not problems, he thinks it's funny. I can't really chart the importance of something like that on a graph. I don't know that it means.

[...]

As it stands, my son splits his time fairly evenly between his EyePet and bowling on the Kinect. He doesn't know yet that you can only like one or the other - that allegiance must be staked out, and guarded, that something like chastity is at stake which must be defended from a gruesome and bestial Other. I intend to prolong this state indefinitely.
