Xbox Kinect is just a fancy copy of Wii Balance Board, Kinect is nothing. You saw how Project Natal failed. Nintendo for the win. Plus Xbox and Playstation have only one reason for me to play them. Cause they have all the good Sonic games!

The Balance Board and Kinect are two completely different pieces of technology. The balance board just uses pressure censors on its corners to measure your center of gravity and can only judge your movements by how much pressure you are putting on a certain censor. Which makes it extremely limited in reading your exact movements. The Kinect uses a camera to scan you and uses its AI to create a wire-frame model of your body for the computer so that your exact movement can me copied by your in-game character.

And what do you mean Project Natal failed? "Project Natal" was just the codename for the Kinect before it was officially announced.

Thank you! I totally agree. I played Halo and Fable. They both were epic games!

I prefer Xbox Elite, for several reasons:

Firstly, exclusive games: we are all aware that few games can be considered AAA, Mario used to be AAA, but has been reduced to a lower game because of it's clear repetitiveness. Each new mario game is doing the same thing, but in a different background. Playstation exclusives end up focusing on graphics rather than gameplay, which makes it look amazing, but ends up in the bargain bin.

The Xbox exclusives, however, seem to stand out. Halo, for instance, seems to challenge the might of COD and battlefield. Forza has overtaken Need for Speed. The fable series set the foundations of many RPGs today, including Skyrim, because of it's introduction on ultimate customisation and different endings. This makes the exclusives the best out there.

Secondly, Kinect. The Wii did amazing work, setting the foundations for motion-gaming, but soon became outdated. Playstation's system is a rip-off of the Wii's system, while the Xbox took motion-gaming to the next level. No controllers. This makes the Xbox revolutionary in the field. Until the next step is taken, Microsoft stays well ahead in this area.

Thirdly, online. I'm not even going to talk about the Wii's dreadful online system. The Playstation's PSN hacks and difficulty to find friends is shameful.

I want to say this once and for all... YOU CAN GET LIVE FOR FREE! If you have Silver membership, it's free. It's the same with PSN and PSN+. one is free and the basic online, one is paid for and has extras.

Xbox live is made brilliantly; friends are easy to find, connection level is put to it's full usage, and it's interface is simple.

Fourthly, the console itself. The controllers are moulded to fit your natural hand shape, and it has actual triggers instead of meek buttons the PS3 uses. And the slim version is beautifully designed, it is amazing.

I shall put one more point, because I don't have the time to list all the great reasons, I only have 4 hours!

Finally, I point to the fact that most AAA game developers support the Xbox, having the Xbox logo at the end of the animation, making it clear that this developer makes it's games to target the Xbox audience the most.

2 Words;
SKYWARD SWORD.
It got a 10/10 review from IGN.  And these are the guys who gave cave story an 8.5.
They understand that some, but not all nintendo games suck.
Mario party games, for instance, suck.
But Skyward sword, MKWII, Twilight Princess, SMG, and SMG 2 prove you wrong in every other one of your aspects.
And while some wiiware games suck, look at cave story.
Turn on classic music and it's essentially the PC version.  Best game EVAR btw.

Oh wait.
The graphics suck.
Bad graphics mean bad game according to you.
Your mind is twisted.

Mario always has fresh ideas. Mario Galaxy added a whole lot of things that your average Sonic 06 platformer doesn't have.

Halo ended. Fable is old. Forza is a copy of Gran Turismo. End of story.

Kinect is glitchy. Like target said, you're doing it wrong.

At least it's free.

You have to pay for Silver membership.  No.

Nothing good, nothing bad.

Fourthly, the console itself. The controllers are moulded to fit your natural hand shape, and it has actual triggers instead of meek buttons the PS3 uses. And the slim version is beautifully designed, it is amazing.

The Wii remote is even better thanks to it's easy to hold shape.

More like 4 seconds.

I added some extra bits, enjoy!

PC. It's a little expensive to start but in the long run, it's much cheaper with greater value.

Otherwise, the Xbox 360.

Jump on the enemy, defeat the bad guy, get gold coins, continue. Mario in one sentence.

Halo has a new trilogy announced. The age of a series doesn't affect it's play usage, eg Doom. Forza has different controls, events and cars then GT.

The updates have fixed that problem. At least Kinect hasn't taken peoples eyes out.

So is getting shot in the head by a thug.

Err...no you don't.

What's not good about finding your friends, having better connection and finding a match easier?

Fourthly, the console itself. The controllers are moulded to fit your natural hand shape, and it has actual triggers instead of meek buttons the PS3 uses. And the slim version is beautifully designed, it is amazing.

It is a block with buttons on it.

I shall put one more point, because I don't have the time to list all the great reasons, I only have 4 hours!

More like 4 seconds.

It takes four seconds to go into detail of better graphics, getting better critic marks, better security, exclusive and early dlc, greater customisation, more stable organisation to run it, indie games and a greater fan base amoung many other reasons?

Finally, I point to the fact that most AAA game developers support the Xbox, having the Xbox logo at the end of the animation, making it clear that this developer makes it's games to target the Xbox audience the most.

I've corrected the extra bits

Sonic 2006, it was gonna be GREAT! But evil Microsoft and Sony pushed the release and wanted it done really fast. Sega listened and IT WAS THE MOST GLITCHY GAME EVER! Sony and Microsoft are impatient, thus leading to the destruction of there sales and criticism by the critics.

You're saying they pushed the release?
They weren't the publisher, the publisher rushed the team.
You have no idea how game companies work do you.

Right now I'm having fun playing Skyrim in stunning 1080p on my PS3 along with Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, and Infamous 2, but that's just my opinion.
Although I do hate the fact that you can't change your name on it, and I'm stuck with "leighmomx4".
The Xbox is pretty awesome, with exclusives like Gears of War and Alan Wake, and I adore the arcade and easy friend access.
Although it sucks having to buy an accessory and xbox live gold just to play Left4Dead online...
The last time I touched my Wii was for Galaxy 2. I am going to get Skyward Sword though.
The PC wins by default.

Hmm...

Maybe they should make it easier, then.
It's very hard to control.

They should also make actual GOOD GAMES for the Kinect.

I don't like X-BOX 360 because the games focus WAY too much on shooters. I personally like platformers.

Plus, which company started the whole "motion" thing? Which company made their "motion" system actually accurate and calibratable? Which company made a video game system that supports 3D without glasses and 3D Video? Which company saved North America from the Video Game Crash? Which company made a hit Kart Racing series that everyone copies? Which company made the GameCube? (I'm going to keep using that one)

Leave the Kinect out of this.
How would you like it if we started talking about the WiiFit?

Right now I'm having fun playing Skyrim in stunning 1080p on my PS3 with all those glitches that the PS3 some has unique to it's system along with Uncharted Indiana Jones, but better looking and a worse story LittleBigPlanet Its so repetitive, boring and its so repetitive, boring and it's so repetitive and Infamous 2 Ok, I'll give you that, but that's just my opinion.
Although I do hate the fact that you can't change your name on it, and I'm stuck with "leighmomx4".
The Xbox is pretty awesome, with exclusives like Gears of War No doubt the best beards in gaming history and Alan WakeAlso known as, the game without an ending and I adore the arcade and easy friend access. Who doesnt?
Although it sucks having to buy an accessory and xbox live gold just to play Left4Dead online...Err...thing called Silver membership, it's free
The last time I touched my Wii was for Galaxy 2 Jumping on enemies, and collecting gokd coins, but in space!I am going to get Skyward Sword Also called Awesomeness incarnate though.
The PC wins by default Which is mostly owned by Microsoft, who own Xbox.

1. No glitches yet.
2. Uncharted 2's story was basicly Indinana Jone's.
3. It's story is still awesome, even if it doesn't have a true ending yet.
4. Half the games require you to have gold to play multiplayer.
5. VALVe actually owns the PC, Microsoft doesn't make any for the PC or have a platform for you to buy games from.

its not the windows software that makes a great gaming PC, its the hardware. Which isn't made by Microsoft.
