Microsoft doesn’t want sex on the kinect

December 19, 2010 Leave a comment


Microsoft has stated that theĀ  “Kinect sex game” will never exsist. While this is probably a bit of a blindsided claim on Microsoft’s behalf- the xbox 360 has been able to be hacked to play pirated games for a good while now, and if the developers Thrixxx can release the file format on the web then they could easily have such a game exsisting and giving them profit. Not only that but-The game is actually on PC. Thrixxx have hacked the Kinect into being able to work with PC games. So, there really isn’t anything microsoft can do to stop them. Technology is technology after all- microsoft can’t sue you for having porn on a computer running there OS and there hardware, so It will be interesting to see what microsoft will do to stop thrixxx from releasing just a type of porn, on the pc, compatible with Kinect. Apparantly, the game will be finished in 2011-

Now, if you really actually buy the game or even play it, that might be a worry…

Kinect: More sucsesful than originally thought, Sony happy with Move

December 1, 2010 Leave a comment

Microsoft today released the total units of Kinect sales worldwide so far. After 25 days from launch, the unit count is at 2.4 Million units. Compared to Move’s sales since september is sitting at 4.2 million units, Kinect will definatley take the lead in sales in the next 20-25 days- especially with the holiday season sales. Microsoft had originally planned for 5.0 million units by the end of the year, and so they obviously thought that the Kinect wouldn’t be very sucsesful.

On the Sony side of things, Sony have said that they are happy with the sales of Move so far, however it is likely that this will change if Kinect sales overpass Move sales- especially since the Playstation 3 trails Xbox 360 sales by only 2 million units.
