Can Xbox Kinect Really Change How Games Are Played?

Microsoft won’t let their game console be left behind by the competition. In fact, they just released their very own console with motion sensing capabilities. Xbox Kinect is the latest release of Microsoft, which is bound to compete with Playstation Move and Nintendo Wii. But, does this game really have all the features that will change how games are being played?

Unlike Wii, Kinect does not require you to hold anything when playing. With its built-in camera, the console can accurately track your gestures while converting it to in-game character movements instantly. Now, players no longer have to stay glued on their sofa just to play their favorite games. With this innovation from Microsoft, playing games is taken to another extraordinary level.

Another thing that makes this console the best is the voice recognition capabilities. Kinect can determine your voice instantly, and who knows what the game developers can create with the help of this new feature. Thinking of the future that awaits us gamers makes me excited. Imagine being able to play your favorite games just by moving your hands and feet or even sing your favorite songs without holding a microphone.

Microsoft already started spreading the news about this game console. In fact, they have placed billions of dollars for the promotion of this product. Recently, talk show queen Oprah gave away an Xbox 360 and Kinect to all her audience, and this only means one thing, Kinect will be selling like water in a desert soon.

Microsoft, a company that has all the resources to promote a product, and Kinect, the revolutionary game tool that will take your gaming experience to the next level. This is definitely the perfect one-two combination to take the lead in game console industry. Weeks after its official release, Amazon already placed Kinect in the top ten best selling products.
