So a lot of my friends have been asking me what I think about microsoft’s new product kinect for the xbox 360. For those who don’t know its basically a camera that tracks your movements and can hear your voice like popular voice recognition programs for the PC. Its basically Microsoft answer to the Nintendo Wii, and a poor one at that.

Their whole slogan is “You are the controller” more like tool if you ask me, the thing is rumored to be 150 bucks, and all the games announced for it so far are Wii clones spiffed up in HD and sold by the MS pr machine to be completely original and awesome.

To garner interest they have teamed up with burger king to help advertise the thing. Their whole mantra is to get gamers off the couch… literally. “Hey honey that 1600 calorie meal was great! Screw Wii Fit, lets go burn it off playing some Kinect adventures!” I can just imagine a mod replacing Milo with king, which would be ultra creepy and interesting to play.

So enough goofing around here’s my final word. I think kinect will sell boat loads because people are suckers… no offense. Hordes of fat women will raid best buy like a fleet of interstate buses, throwing their Wii Fit balance boards into the trash and adopting microsoft’s Kinect to try and lose years of personal abuse. Only to have their xbox’s destroy all their fitness discs because their huge asses were bouncing around the room and moving it ever so slightly.

You think im joking but I have many a friend who work at either a gamestop or best buy and the fitness thing sells, it sells big time, and not to who you would think. The same people who buy a bo-flex to only use it once and let it collect dust in the den are the same people who will buy kinect, only to use it to say “xbox on”
