Will Kinect Spell The End For Nintendo's Wii?
The legendary Nintendo wii console has had a good run, nonetheless its future's not really looking so great any more due to Microsoft's brand new piece of equipment, Kinect. Nintendo's once ground-breaking entertainment system is now looking very dated.
After the Nintendo wii console arrived on the scene it was ground-breaking and took the video gaming universe by storm. It delivered video gaming to the wider public on account of its control which imitates the player's actions and essentially allowed just about anybody to play video games. Even rather old people who had never played a video game before in their whole lives were suddenly in a position to grab a controller and participate in tennis or golf etc.
In many ways it appears the Wii has paved the way for Kinect. The Nintendo wii delivered video games to a much broader market and it seems like Kinect will take over that very same market.
Kinect is an add-on to the Xbox 360 which sits atop your own Television just like the Wii sensing unit that also is positioned on top of the Television. The difference is that Kinect actually scans one's body movement meaning that you don't even have to have a controller in your hand.
The Wii console appealed to so many as a result of its simple controls, however the Kinect does not have any controls in any way therefore the appeal will probably be even greater! In addition, it offers speech recognition which means that you can issue commands simply with your voice. Couple that along with the fact that it utilizes the Xbox 360 console hardware which is capable of producing HD graphics that's many years beyond what the Nintendo wii console is actually capable of!
For the foreseeable future, it appears as though Kinect will take over from the Nintendo wii. It'll be intriguing to find out exactly what Sony and also Nintendo's creative designers will come up with next!
