K to kick on its corpse.

shit like this makes me wonder how you retards deal with VR purchases. Do you not have any foresight into hardware longevity?

Buying any kind of hardware just to be "future proof" is retarded. For example, I wouldn't buy a console if there aren't at least enough games I'd want to play with a total value of the console itself. The explanation is maybe a bit confusing, but I just mean that if I buy a €300 console, I'd only do it if there was €300 worth of games for that console. Same goes for VR. And right now it doesn't look like that point will be reached any time soon.

I don't just want it dead, I want an apology for its existing

The spying device developed in Israel has been kicked to the curb!

Hallelujah!

>having an NSA spy device in your living room

lol?

Nothing lasts forever but yeah, if you're conservative with your money don't get VR, we're in for multiple revisions of PSVR, Vive, Oculus, etc over the next 5 years.

vr porn will always be the tits.

MCDONALD'S!

Kinect single handedly killed the xbox. Can't remember which year it was but 360 was at the height of its game, then M$ went all in on the kinect pushing it hard at e3 or i think. That moment is when everyone lost interest in the xbox brand.

It was a retarded piece of hardware that seemed undercooked at every possible thing it did.

It was an absolute waste of time, effort, and money for microsoft. It did nothing, never worked, etc. The only things it could do you yourself could do more easily, faster, and better with just a controller.

There was no reason for it to exist in the first place. Sure I guess you could say it was good research or something for better tech down the line, but they should have just kept it as an internal demo kind of hardware, never done a public release, and saved themselves all the trouble and thus use any inhouse research to make a better product down the line. But nope, gotta be as retarded and wasteful as possible.

That was a Sony patent.

>early Xbox 360 era
>robust online services, best versions of multiplatforms, exclusives

>late 360 era/Xbone era
>kinectshit, multimediashit, ”your all in one TV box”

What went so wrong? Are vidya companies hardwired to fuck themselves over when they get too successful?

Don Mattrick happened.

Why? 3rd party is what raking in the money like sports or cod. they don't have to invest millions into game development like they did before. Its just exclusivity deals now because its cheaper and it sells. this is what happens when you have investors looking for only high profit then protecting the brand.

press S to spit on it's grave

This.
Don Mattrick is the worst thing to happen to Xbox.
>"We have an offline console it's called the 360"
>"So stick with the 360, is that what you're going with?"
>Immediately realised how hard he shit the bed
>"W-well if you literally have no internet access that is a console you can play offline"

Dog Bless Don Mattrick for destroying the xbox brand

Watch the adapter suddenly stop working two years from now in an OS update, just like the HD-DVD reader for the 360.

Microsoft is the worst company regarding support for old hardware. They drop failed projects without batting an eye and leave existing customers in the dark. Zune, Windows Mobile, console peripherals, etc.

If you have a laptop, smartphone or smart tv you already have the NSA spy in your home

To be fair people who got those retarded products deserve everything they get

who even cares in this case honestly. fuck kinect

That little camera add-on was kinda nice. Could use it to fuck with people.

>all those people doing cocaine or smoking crack in uno
>all those kids dancing naked in uno in exchange of microsoft points

Early 360 days were the fucking wild west

Now that Kinect utterly destroyed and ruined xbox what's next?

Do they reinvent the wheel by trying something else?
They can't just do what Sony is doing they'd always be one step behind on that front.

Xbox VR with TWO KINECTS for body tracking.

They need good exclusives, simple as that. Even if they are also on PC, since the average normie doesn't consider the latter an option.

The point is, good games where you can say "You can't play this on the PS4". That's how you get customers. Not with TVTVSPORTSSPORTS, not with gimmicks, not with anything but. actual. fucking. games.

Holy fuck I remember this. Little me would play that game for hours in the hopes of getting some pussy.

>did super well with xbox 360
>hey guys lets listen to our stock holders who keep raging about nintendo wii and waggling and spend half the console money on more kinect
>surely its what consumers want, never mind performance!

The Kinect was, actually, very cool. There was just no good use for it. No one wanted to dev for it besides hobbiests and universities that wanted to do shit with it besides games.
It, also, came at a time when people were disillusioned with waggle shit.

bad timing
bad software
bad marketing

Ive seen it used for mapping things in 3d like for self driving and drones and that did seem really useful, it's just not a good video game related thing. What is up with companies thinking that waggle is what's good? Humans need tactile feedback, having buttons and shit is a good thing. Touch screens will never replace a keyboard unless the screen is able to raise up to have keys that you can feel when pressing on it.

BURGER KING

Don't have a laptop or smart TV. You can put stickers over your camera and a cut off earbud jack to get around the smart phone stuff.

I bought a PSVR. Played RE7 and Superhot VR, then returned it.

Kinda crazy how he was still better at commissioning and releasing games than Based Phil is.
