Microsoft has built an add on to the Xbox 360 console called the Kinect. It will be in stores next month and will be sold separately from the Xbox 360 for a price of 150$. According to this article, Microsoft has "one-upped" it's competition which is Sony and Nintendo. It is considered to be better because instead of using a controler, the Kinect senses your body motions and is also voice activated. Microsoft hopes this will carry on beyond gamers and into family's homes for the entire family to play. The hopes for this voice recognition technology is to expand beyond the living room and extend to the whole house. For me I would love for this Kinect to be in my house and in every room. It would help make things easier and everything would be voice activated. As this is just the beginning of the Kinect, It will have it's kinks and critics have been all over that saying "Microsoft has had a nasty habit of gumming up its creative engines with bureaucracy." Nevertheless I would love to have the Kinect except for the fact that the Kinect games have been called simple and easy, I would love to give it a try! For the full article Click Here.
