Xbox 360 Kinect


The Wii now has competition with the release of Xbox Kinect a while ago now. The X box Kinect is different from the Wii because with the X box Kinect there is no controllers you just use your body. I found this hard to believe that the technology is available to create a game system that you just need to move your body to control and no game controllers. The Kinect system uses cameras and watches your movements and it also has a microphone so you can use voice prompts to control the device. The Xbox Kinect system is different and may attract more of an audience because you can still play non interactive games on the Xbox but on the Wii most games are interactive based. I thought it was especially odd how people just select things by putting their hand out in front of them it almost seemed like something that you would see in a Sci-Fi movie. I can see that you would have to get used to playing on the new system and after all when you are using the Kinect system there are no controllers you are just using your body. It will be interesting to see in the future if Nintendo comes out with more games that involve the use of a camera so far there are one game that I know of that have camera ability but there is supposed to be more on the way.
