[QUOTE="Blown 89, post: 16436753, member: 45161"] I'm convinced video games will never get the sounds right. They're so disconnected from reality is hilarious. All of those were unsubstantiated rumors that ended up not being true. They were fired because it was a PR nightmare and they refused to clarify the features and insisted on letting the internet rumor mill run amok. The second gen kinect was an amazing piece of tech and they included it to push devs to include it in their games. Instead, the internet mob forced them to offer it as a feature and many developers opted not to develop features for it because if the fragmentation the idiots on the net caused. Then, one year later, Amazon released the Alexa.....that did the same thing kinect did and ended up being an amazing piece of tech. Your xbox could have done all of that for you. The Kinect demos showed off some amazing features and uses and half of the things it did you now use every day in your phones and computers. The morons on the internet were too concerned about waving your hands around in a game to see any of the benefits. The always connected rumor was proved false at the time. 7 years later everyone is always on the internet 24/7. Again, the Amazon Alexa requires an internet connection....you could have had that on your console. The entire unit didn't require always on connection, just some features. Microsoft was pretty clear on that when Sony smeared them for not thinking about the troops overseas. Now always on connections are common for the world's most popular games and gaming subscription services. The used games rumor was immediately put down by Microsoft yet the rumor kept spiraling out of control. Their intent was aimed at digital games, subscription services, and they even offered a service that allowed you to share your entire game library with friends and family. Ironically, digital games now make up the bulk of gaming. The bottom line is that Microsoft correctly predicted the future of gaming and idiots on the internet delayed that for many years. It didn't help that Sony took advantage of the false reporting and smeared Microsoft with a brilliant PR campaign. [/QUOTE]
