SO the first one is still failing (gaming) left right and centre and they are already planning a second generation Kinect? :wtf:

Weeeeellll, the first Xbox also failed
So maybe Microsoft have a thing with second attempts?Also, "failed" - it kinda depends on your stance - it's actually quite a success if you look at things over-all.

Original Xbox did not fail. It was just never marketed in SA. Here in the UK it was huge! Not as huge as the PS2 but still.
Which i why I said fail gaming. As a piece of tech is brilliant and can do all kinds of cool stuffz. As a gaming Peripheral, IMO, it fails.

24 million units worldwide in 2006 - of which 6 million were in Europe.
It still did better than the Dreamcast and the Gamecube - and I don't think any of them "failed" per se - but compared to PS2's 150 million units and its very brief time on the market - on a direct competition basis, there's more of an indication that the Xbox failed than there is to say the Kinect failed - especially when it's out-selling it's direct competitor this time around.
And again, there are plenty of games for the Kinect - I happen to agree with you that they're mostly kak - but just because *we* don't like them, doesn't make them any less popular amongst other gamers, and it doesn't make it a failed gaming system.
By all measures, the Kinect is actually pretty damn successful - and the tech is developing to be used in places other than gaming, which is also grand.
I don't care for it, but you've got to hand it to Microsoft for at least making some pretty awesome technological advances.
You forgot the ultimate bad at the start of the windows chain there.

So does Kinect 2 make your toast and coffee too? This new proposed technology is scary.

As a rule of thumb, every second operating system that's released by MS is always a fail. I will go as far as to say that I will be extremely disappointed if Windows 8 is NOT a fail.

But what about if you have been drinking and wanna play, but are slurring too much? I ask this, because, well, it could be a problem for me and some other gamers I know...
