Ah shit, it's Oprah.

[Casual Shinji]

Well, apparently Oprah has decided to sprinkle some of her magical Winfrey dust all over Microsoft's motion camera by featuring it in in her show which was ironically titled "The Next Big Thing"...*sigh*
She also handed out a free 360 and Kinect to all the audience members who went batshit insane over it.

So I guess now that Microsoft has received the grace of God almighty and Sony's Move selling pretty damn good in Europe, this motion controlled nightmare is far from over.

F*** Oprah and her sect? Who cares at all about what she does or thinks?

"ohhhh a shiny box I MUST WORSHIP IT!"

So true

I guess no one ever showed her the Milo footage of the thing, eh?

Congrats Oprah! You have just allowed those over 9000 penises to rape even more children! Virtual ones perhaps, but nonetheless...

Motion control will fail as soon as they release FPS on it, realising that absolutely no one buys these games and they are losing their market to the PC, the consoles will spin their heads around and focus more on controllers again.

Mate, the Wii's sales alone has ensured that motion controls will be intergral to the next generation of consoles. If you really don't like motion controls, invest in a gaming PC.

Considering that motion controls are the closest consoles have been to Mouse + Keyboard (aside from an actual Mouse + Keyboard), I can't think of a reason why this should be the case.

Close? they have nothing on M&K.

I 'd play any game at all with a controller before I play with motion controls.

 

[RhombusHatesYou]

I refuse to have anything to do with motion controllers until they invent one that allows me to play games using nothing but eyebrow movement.

Or a mocap suit with force feedback and machine washable crotch... but for totally different reasons.

If that's the case, I'll say say cheerio to gaming all together.

Wait, the crowd when batshit when Oprah gave them Xboxes? I've seen what the audiences at Oprah shows look like. Do they even know how to work that thing?

 

[Reaper69lol]

Far from over? Son, this is just the beginning.

Let's just say that if I were selling sticks, and Oprah said on her show "These sticks are nice" complimenting MY sticks, I'd go fucking batshit.

Why? Sells will go up 5000000% (Depending on that only one person has bought them before, being my normal sale rate - Oprah) and I will become rich! Rich! RIIIIICH!!!

... Expect Microsoft to get ENORMOUSLY funded in these coming months now.

You're missing the important thing here:

FREE SHIT!

Oprah is still alive?

As of right now, her body is possessed by Nyarlathotep and requires a constant supply of virgin blood to remain alive (provided by Doctor Phil). Soon her energy will dwindle, and she will be cast back into Valhalla to slumber until her next revival.

[/Sarcasm]

In all seriousness, the Kinect is a pathetic Wii rip-off and will never amount to anything more than a gimmick. We should all just ignore it and wait for this entire motion sensor craze to pass.
