Why did it flop? Did it even have a chance in the first place?

it never flopped. the Kinect did flop however

i completely forgot this shit even existed, but to be fair neither me nor any of my friends owned a playstation at the time and i still don't

that thing looks like a Hitachi, who the fuck would buy it?

everyone hated it just like they hated nintendo for that shit

Because of this stupid thing we got a couple great ports of (at the time) modern arcade games. So I'm grateful for that.

>>716052023
did not. the tech was sold for big bucks and is now used by giant brands like apple for their phone's face id

getting bought out by another company who wants to use your technology does not exempt you from flop status.
onlive only ended service when it was bought out but it was definitely a flop.

>>716052843
better cater to them
go on. do it

>>716052571
HotD4 is fucking awful, and I'm tired of zoomers pretending it isn't. The move was so dogshit you had to play all these games with an on-screen retard cursor because it drifted like a motherfucker.

how old were you when you finally managed?

Zoomers don't even know what hotd is. Anyway its better than 3.

Do you think a kid ever shoved those controllers up the cunts?

>Why did it flop?
because, in their panic, sony made the gayest controller known to man

>>716053008
With the PS Move? Never. the hand lotion got stuck in the charge port and I didn't want to clean it out with a brush every time I tried sticking it up my ass. Eventually I caved in and bought a regular dildo. Way better than using hair brushes or screwdrivers with slightly pointed ends and then pulling them out with blood because I didn't notice I stabbed my ass 15 times.

the core will always be with you, cause we actually like vidya, but we arent the majority

Looks like those black things my favorite e-sluts use on chaturbate.

what does LIDAR technology have to do with the Kinect not flopping and failing as a consumer product? it literally doomed the xbox brand since 2010

how bout everyone just fuck off from my vidya
clearly, you just don't care

>>716052023
Kinect sold millions and is directly tied to Rare's biggest selling titleand the entire Just Dance series, move was definitely a flop in comparison.
Too bad Xbone flopped because their kinect was actually really good and worked more like you expected it to

>>716052676
I think so. Look it up on their wiki.

>>716051912 (OP)
Guess you have to force superior things sometimes. It the only option untill it's primary.

Kinekt and real guns/replicas with pointing/lights, probably better.

A little stick is kind of stupid and unintuitive.

Gloves better. But if everything wasn't inflated asian shit after undercutting then we would be getting in setups the cost of cars. Running around in them. Whole body sensed and suited to world with machinery. Feedback for whole body. Get fit playing games.

Standardised and same system used for a far future. Just made cheaper, better, less obvious it's simulated.

People that prefer controllers probably just don't know better, haven't experienced lightguns, wiimote etc.

Joypads never should have existed. Really don't need bad experiences. Arcades a better investment. Take it out of tax maybe. Or local, locals pay or work making servers and systems, games, stories whatever able or ordered. Something to do. Get good in real world.
Prevent degeneracy like psychology and education from inhibiting people, from directing people into a dull excuse for a dream. From experimentation not being so abhorent, and fought against. Stopped and otherwise erected.
Stop people identifyin as enemy through insufficiency. Or see gain through greed.

>>716051912 (OP)
Honestly I owned one of these back in the day and the accuracy completely mogged the Wii which was its primary (and only) comparison.
If they had actually supported it and given it first party content worth buying I think it would have held out far longer, if not a complete success.

In the end it suffered from the same problems as VR today. Locked to a single console, terrible support and bad advertising with nobody willing to innovate and take the next step.

can only exploit it for so long. People aren't dumb

I wish these kind of games were still made for home consoles. A universal PC lightgun compatible with all these classics would be incredible.

>>716053983
>If they had actually supported it and given it first party content worth buying I think it would have held out far longer, if not a complete success.
Same exact words fit pic rel. Sony has a bad tendency of giving up on side projects if they aren't an immediate success.

>>716054264
Should have bought them on PS3 then.

Xbox got doomed when Microsoft changed it from a gaming console to a multimedia device (which I heard is what Bill Gates actually wanted the OG Xbox to be but was forced to make it a gaming console to stand a chance against the PS2). People memed about the Kinect spying on you but the Xbone being a no gaems machine was what killed the brand.

>>716051912 (OP)
Trend chasing product. Launched targeting 50 million units by the end of day 1. It didn't sell 50 million units and it's already been a week? Well, that's pretty much it, drop the whole thing. Vita was waaaay worse with those shitty touch/motion controls instead of doing a proper psp2.

>>716053997
>can only exploit
Trying new things and having fun is being exploited to you? I feel sorry for your mom and dad. Generally, I feel sorry for anyone that has to interact with you, if people trying to have fun annoys you.

>>716054619
I have an entire shelf dedicated to lightgun games. Most of them are on PS3 and Wii it didn't stop them ceasing production.

>>716054476
Even the PSP had a slew of first party games. God of War, Littlebigplanet, Killzone, Ape Escape, Metal Gear, etc.

Vita had one (admittedly decent) Uncharted game and that's about it.

>>716054264
Check out this kickstarter it might be what you are looking for, it looks cool but I'm personally not into lightgun games enough to spend this much on it

There's a lot of try hard edgy faggots in this thread. I grew up with Duck Hunt on Nes. I got the Super Nintendo Bazooka. I got the Wii. I got the Valve VR. Fun things are fun, yeah they might not have an industry changing appeal and are usually generational gimmicks, but that doesn't change that it's an interesting way to play and allows for a larger variety of video games.

>Most of them are on PS3 and Wii it didn't stop them ceasing production.
I don't know if I'm just old or if these kids find it funny to shit on stuff they Have Zero knowledge about. I'm agreeing with you, even though my post reads as a negative.

>>716051912 (OP)
name 1 game that i must play useing this garbage

>>716052382
A large reason it sold as well as it did was because many game devs were lazy fucks and many fps that used it attached some form of autoaim to it.
Killzone 3 was probably the most notoriously worst since it was 100% headshots that even after cover could stay locked on for a short amount of time and ensure headshots through cover.

Sony seemingly encouraged the shit as well to try and sale the gun accessory

>>716051912 (OP)
It was a half-assed copy of the Wii with outside-in tracking that wasn't quite there yet. Console motion controls are also shit, because there are usually no rebindable controls, so you get stuck with gimmicks and bad controls.
>>716055367
They really had no choice, given that the industry was rapidly dying after 2011.
They were launching their console with no games worth playing and no good games visible on the horizon for years.

>Did it even have a chance in the first place?
No. It was Sony trying to capitalize on the motion controls hype after seeing how popular the Wii was but obviously no one's going to give a fuck if you add it to your system 4 years into its life and with fuck all to play.

>>716053983
The Playstation Move came out in 2010. The generation was already entering its final years and the normalfag audience already had and was getting tired of the Wii and they were the only ones that were truly going crazy over motion controls, core gamers didn't give a fuck and that's the PS3's main audience. There was just no reality where it would have held on or succeeded.

>>716052023
tons of normies bought kinect and it was a hit with them, they wanted more. it only flopped afterwards cuz microsoft couldn't figure out how to keep milking it. we don't get stuff like that anymore. now it's just safe gambagachamtx games with mobile UIs

>>716051912 (OP)
Fuck no, it was way too late at that point and Kinect ate all the leftovers Wii left behind.

>>716055367
In spite of issues like the rrod the generation was more or less Microsofts to lose.
Sony made alotta good headway with the ps3 after the first what 2 years but the thing that really sealed Microsofts decline was the Kinect.
The E3 cirque du soleil show along with the actual E3 showcase was really a 1 2 punch for them.
>devs, journalists, publishers are all collectively flabbergasted between the Xbox brand water, the elephant, the strobe lights, the ponchos

Most gimmicky peripherals not bundled with a console will fail. Note that the NES Zapper had a reasonably high number of games for a secondary input, but the Menacer/Superscope 6 both flopped horribly.

The thing was fucking trash. I bought them for the Resident Evil light gun games when they were ported to PS3, and the drift made them unplayable, I had to hit the button to recenter the reticule every 15-30 seconds.

Had a buddy at the time was a hardcore Xbox fanboy. The kind that had owned multiple 360s and would replace one that rrod'd as fast as possible.
Man seriously convinced himself that the kinect wasn't going to be bad.
Watching the joy leave his eyes the more we fucked with it was something else.

We did everything short of painting his fatass white

we've been married for 12 years. something that keeps our relationship strong is a degree of honesty. my dad lies to my stepmom that the (sometimes expensive) things she does "for him" are fine and dandy when she repeatedly does stuff he doesn't like, and she has no problem with demanding that he do things she like for her. their relationship is shit. he cannot be honest with her.

>>716058428
Yeah it was over for black and obese people from what I heard, well at least the Wii didn't discriminate.

i have a friend like that but he convinced himself that he got his fill of my kinect and determined it was alright without needing to pay for one himself. He liked to point to homebrew PC stuff as reasons why the kinect was "obviously" good.

He got an Xbone and on three separate occasions it acted up on us when we tried to play splitscreen on it. the rare replay version of perfect dark was unplayable in multiplayer because it wanted each player separately signed in to a profile and the xbone seemingly didn't have the ability to do that with it's one valid account. After a couple months it was used as his netflix machine and not long after it was being so annoying and bitchy about starting the console and loading a streaming service, my friend got a used PS4 to use instead, and then his GF could play old PS1 games digitally

I have 3 of the stupid things. One because I wanted to play house of the dead 4 and it seemed the least awful way at the time and then you need 2 for PSVR and nobody sold just one so I had to buy the combo pack of the "upgraded" models. And NONE OF THEM have working magnetometers. You can fuck around with the "recalibration" all you like, they don't work. The PS4 at least admits it and says there's a fault with the sensor. When you google it apparently it's a "known issue" and you just need to return them and roll the dice again.
Fortunately no game I played seems to care. But then there's not really anything worth playing.

>>716059904
