'Kinect Star Wars' details Forced out into the open

Jun 6th 2011 7:14AM (Joystiq)
I really hope that screenshot is from an earlier production state...
I don't want to see the kiddie graphics on this titile just so it can appeal to lil timmy an suzies parents.

Don't people realize Star Wars is a BIGGER DEAL to people at least 25 and older.

I'm not saying it doesnt appeal to todays youths... But this should be for the "BIG KIDS"...

Microsoft should develope some kinds of navigation controller for Kinect to simulate walking so we can have more core games for it...

And it can be motion based to.. Nothing u have to hold in your hand.. how about a device you can slide over say your pinky finger.. And if you slightly bend your finger and your character walks, bend it all the way and you run... Just throwin it out there..

I know they try to promote the "we are the controller thing" But a device to simulate walkin should be made.

The only people who go nuts for the PS3 is well....us... Us "Techies"

Mom and Dad are no way gonna buy lil Timmy and Suzie a PS3...

Heck I own 2 PS3's, and can't even justify why...

I think a lot of factors went into Microsoft's success this gen...

1) Love'em or hate'em the guys at MS as marketing genius'es...
2) The growth of XB Live to where its become "its own digital Console".
The new slim does look darn sexxy (i gave my limited edition resident evil red one to my son, to pick up the sexxy slim model) and i loved my red 360

3) Kinect (with some marketing help) dropped at just the right time...
Just when people wanted the "next hottness" they drop Kinect and 360 sales go sky hi again...

Just before Kinect and Move released...Sales of both PS3 and 360 werent super impressive... They were selling but the numbers weren't to go nuts for.

If the Move Controllers didn't look so well....Wii-ish...and Sony would of at least bothered to do some advertising (I don't think I've seen at least 10 Move commercial's in a single month)...

But that does go to show you with darn near "limitless $$$" can do for you...

Sony posts FY 2010 earnings, singles out profits in PlayStation business

May 26th 2011 5:36PM (Joystiq)
its good to see a bright light for Sony... They been taking a pounding by media, and consumers (even me at one point)...

On a different note... SONY should of found a way to turn NGP into a phone... I know i'm dreaming.... but what a sweet it would be...

I saw some of the games on their Xperia Phone... and not impressed at all... They better start porting PS2 games to it ASAP... and clean them up to at least look better than Ipad games (yes i caved an bought an Ipad2 and i actually like it)...well guess not a fair comparison....look at least better than Iphone games (thats about the same scale)...

Sony is the problem...

They should go off the grid and stop giving "leaked info" to whoever it is they are "talking to off the record".

Just SHUT UP AND WORK ON PSN...

Just post this Sony "IT'S READY, WHEN ITS READY" and thats that

@ClanPsi

What are u talking about??? Microsoft is just as vulnerable as any company out there... Its not about being hacked (anyone can be hacked...its just the way it is...)

Its about how fast can your staff detect the intruder and do something about it before the intruder can get away with sensitive info...

Its not a matter of bragging about ur security measures (thats like boasting where ur secret hideout is located)... Its about just doing the obvious...

Not a single mega corporation in impenetrable... Even Microsoft has been "hacked"...NASA...u name it...

But those companies realized their was someone in there right away... not days to a week later...

If Sony could of swept this under the rug they would of... but when the pile is to big,....well u mite as well confess...

Most who are saying its not that big of a deal mite not have established credit...or know what a credit report or credit history are...and the ramifications it they tank...

If your "credit worthiness" goes down the drain... that becomes being denied for a car (or super high interest rates)...not getting that dream house u wanted and worked hard for....

Because creditors are gonna see a black hole on ur credit report (something that u didnt' even do)....and hold it against u for 12+ yrs...

This isn't the YLOD or RRoD.... this is real life... I love Sony... My digital camera is a cybershot (tho its got some yrs on it...still takes great pics)...My camcorder is a Sony Handycam....My tv is a Sony Bravia...and I also has a couple of PS2's floating around here and 2 PS3's for that matter...

So am i "hatin" on Sony's products....NO!!!......

Am I hating on them not havin and ever evolving security measure (espcially for an network like PSN)....that should be improved on, on a yr to yr basis....YES...

This is not about Sony's products... but about me (us)

@BigEgo007

I may not work for Sony or know how their security is placed... But a pissed person (or people) got in (within 60 days)....and that is considered fast....

Not only that...They were in there for a few days to week before their was any detection...

Thats like u sleepin with your front door wide open... a burgler decides he doesn't have to break the window...walks around ur house making him/herself at home for a few days to a week...make a sandwhich...watch some tv...maybe even tries on ur clothes...and then decides to finally take what they want and leave...

Thats true... to a certain extent... A burgler can brake ur windows and get into ur house... Sony left the keys in the door...
