Re: Kinect or Nintendo Wii
 

Got the Wii & Wii Fit + for the mrs. She likes it and daughter 8 loves it.

Had a go on the Kinnect yesterday, cleaver piece of kit, I personally would get the wii as there as loads more games for it at lower prices and wait for the kinnect to become more popular so more games will be out and second hand games also more available.

Haven't been on for a while & have just spotted this thread!

I'm the manager in question and can quite honestly say that if I think a game or product is rubbish - I will tell my customer that! I also train my staff the same way, ask questions and give your honest opinion - what's the point in recommending a product that you know the customer won't like or doesn't suit their needs? It may put money in the till, but it's not going to win you any customer loyalty, which is the most important factor to me.

Anyone coming into my store gets total honesty and my regular customers appreciate that! We also have demo days where you can come in and try out the new technology for yourself, so you don't just take our word for it!

the kinect is way much better than the wii but unless you have a large area to play in it will be difficult to play two player comfortably without banging into furniture or each other.I have a large living room and still struggle after moving all the furniture against the walls.If i still lived in my terraced house i would not have bought one :)

edit:

also if somone walks into the room it starts to scan them and it can be annoyong if ithappens mid game

Yep, that's the only downside to it - I got a TV mount as we were struggling to get 2 people on and it has improved it :)

yeah i had to put a small shelf up for the sensor as teh tv was too thin to put it on top.You woudl think they wouldhave provided a clip or somthing for slim tv's

one thing i noticed missing was the option to scan things like your own skateboard into a game which was highlighted when it was known as project natal but iv read they have disabled the feature for now to work out the bugs then will be re-enableing it at a later date probably with an update through xbox live

xbox 360 mainly targets teenagers and adults so i cant see there been too many games made directed at the younger kids

Re: Kinect or Nintendo Wii
 

We hae both and i think they are totally different,i think you need to have a go on both before u decide.
