    Kinect is out tomorrow... hmm not sure about it at all. I am gona get it and try it out but I am skeptical, the games are really not my bag so far, we will see.

    The main reason I wanted to make this post is that it dawned on me why this release of the Kinect is so EPIC. No not the device its self(well you never know LOL) now all three companies have motion control.

    What does this mean for gamers? This is the most massive thing out of these mental motion control device(yes I prefer game pads), yes some of them are cool no doubt about it they have a place that is for sure.

    It has dawned on me we are almost guaranteed(well I would not bet on it but almost) a pimp Nintendo system next round that has pimp graphics. This sort of equilibrium made basically sets a standard and now you would think the next systems from all three will contain a 1080p standard and better graphics than the 360 and ps3 on all three fronts.

    I could be totally wrong but it would appear that the next systems would have to focus on power and graphics(key hardware wise) since we have everything else. To me if this is true the next round of system could be potentiality the most insane we have ever scene.

    Good times I hope so \m/

    What do you guys think is this massive, or will think of something else?
