Showing posts with label Kinect. Show all posts
From now and back to the initial release of Call of Duty: Black Ops, Treyarch's latest Call of Duty game has sold 13.7 Million copies across all available platforms. Congrats to Treyarch & Activision for such a bit hit. I wonder if Modern Warfare 3 can surpass that.
On the Microsoft side of things, Kinect has made a big impact to the industry. It is now recognized as the fastest-selling consumer device according to the Guinness Book of World, with 10 million devices sold, and about 10 million games, though I'm not sure if Kinect Adventures is counted in that. With rumors swirling around about a price drop for the Xbox 360 S, I wonder if Kinect will drop a bit before the holidays.

Picked up Kinect? Well the very first demo for Kinect has been released on Xbox Live with Kinect Joy Ride.
"Kinect™ Joy Ride combines the fun of classic karting with the controller-free gameplay of Kinect. Enjoy five different game modes as you race through three unique worlds with stunning landscapes. Navigate obstacles, drift through corners and fly off jumps to wow your opponents with mid-air acrobatics. Then earn boosts, power-ups and other items to turn up the competition and the fun. It’s racing action, Kinect style."Link To Demo- Kinect Joy Ride (621 MB)
Xbox.com is a great site, in fact I use a lot for my posts and it's nice to see that it will be getting more user friendly in preparation for the Kinect Launch in about 2 weeks. Major Nelson has all the details as usual, and here are a few:
