Microsoft expects many Christmas trees with Kinect and Black Ops underneath
Xbox UK marketing boss Stephen McGill has Mirosoft expects there to lots of Christmas trees this year with Kinect and Black Ops under them, wrapped up all nice and with bows.
Speaking with CVG during Kinect’s launch event in London this week, McGil recons the offerings for Xbox 360 is a “better line-up” than its had “in years for Xbox 360 or any platform”.
“I think [consumer's] eyes are on Xbox and Kinect,” he said. “They’re on Xbox because the best place to play Black Ops is on Xbox 360 – it’s the only place you’re going to get that exclusive content first and that’s a big deal for gamers. I think Kinect is a big deal for gamers too and I think they’re interested in that too.
“I think there’s going to be a lot of Black Ops under Christmas trees and I think there’s going to be a lot of Kinect under the Christmas tree. [Kinect has] games like Kinect Sports, and while they are incredibly accessible, there’s a lot of depth to those games. Something like Dance Central… no-one will tell you that with their heritage – Rock Band and Guitar Hero – that it’s not the sort of genre that will expand core audiences, and I think Dance Central is going to be the same.
“And we’ve got some great entertainment services on Xbox 360 and Xbox Live that become even better with Kinect. So I think there’s something for everyone.
“Obviously we’ve got a great line-up of games for gamers – things like Halo Reach, Fable III, Call of Duty and FIFA – for this Christmas. We haven’t had a better line-up in years for Xbox 360 or any platform.”
He’s probably right. Black Ops has already been dubbed the biggest entertainment launch in history and early reports from the US indicate Kinect sold out rather fast during launch.

Although I don’t care for his language and offensive comments, I’m with LordCancer. Fuck religion – it’s the cause of every war that has afflicted this great planet, and it will be the ultimate scourge of mankind.
Now, on with the gaming. This is a gaming site FFS!

@56 lol, religion doesn’t start war. It’s just a excuse people use to go to war. Wars start when group A wants what group B has (land, oil, etc) and decide to take it through force. Period. Stupidity will be the scourge of mankind.

57 thats a narrow view. it isn’t always about resources sometimes about ethnic cleansing or in the case of christians gods will that allows them to rape murder and pillage entire cultures into extinction. christians are cowards that single out the weak and either convert them or kill them and its the christian crusade that has bankrupted america. Kuwabara hows your pride now you loser christ loving faggot? and in typical christian fashion you zionist pigs never pick on a real enemy no its iraq or afghanistan who have no armies. your all cowards.

@60 sorry chum its the simple truth. Obviously you have some issues o_O. Maybe you should try some different sites to work through them, rather than ranting on a game forum, where sympathy & or rational can be in short supply eh?

“… religion doesn’t start war. It’s just a excuse people use to go to war.”
Yes, but it’s very effective “excuse” which constitutes the moral legitimation for wars.
Any party claims to be on the good side and fighting against evil. Without religion this would be very difficult to bring across.

@66 Not really, they’d just use political differences, or cultural differences. Your can hardly blame a particular faith for being used & abused by bad people. You’ll want to ban guns next!

I didn’t know the whole point of any religion is to fight evil, as well as all I have to do to be a theist was believe in existence of some deity and have some kind of moral. in fact, I didn’t know I have to do any of that at all.
LC wins this thread though anyway.
