One of the most revolutionary businesses in the world is Microsoft. They've created the windows operating system, numerous pieces of good software and these days they are mixed up in video games market. For many years the video gaming market was ruled by Nintendo and Sony. In 2001 Microsoft came into the gaming niche with their xbox gaming console and it has been aggressively rivalling with the 2 ever since.
The most recent competition amongst the 3 businesses is within the active video gaming category. People enjoy the very idea of gaming by moving and jumping around in front of the tv set. To serve those needs, Microsoft unveiled an acessory for their xbox 360 gaming system referred to as the xbox 360 kinect . The xbox kinect is a impressive talk and motion recognition machine that allows you to play games by just using the body.
The main reason the kinect extraordinary is it's the only console that's 100% wireless. Its opponents the Wii and Playstation Move each use controllers. This provides the kinect an undeniable edge over its competition. The less everyone has to use to have fun, the better. Furthermore, it gives the kinect with an advantage when it comes to certain video game titles.
For exercise games the kinect has a appealing factor over the other game consoles. Since there is no remote control attached, you'll be able to train with the full use of both hands and body. This also ensures that the kinect fitness game titles can provide you with more workouts then any other gaming console. With the kinect you are able to easily do exercises like push-ups, stomach crunches and more. When it comes to the other gaming systems, you will be limited to only doing exercises that are controller compatible.
The kinect might have a benefit in terms of physical fitness games but it also carries a disadvantage when it comes to shooting games. Using a controller for shooting video games feels much better then using your hands. Simply put, the controller provides the sense of a actual firearm while playing with your hand just seems dumb.
Overall, the kinect is a good gaming console. Personally, I think that through the years the kinect will greatly improve and the video games will use the kinects systems far better. The system is still fresh and it could be much better then it presently is.
