Yeah, it's not like anyone ever made a joke about smoke in L.A. That would really piss folks off

No. I'm agreeing with you. EA are surely furious. Right now they're probably scrapping their plans for Titanfall 2 on PS4.

And optional-gate is even worse. That was a real dick move by Sony, and I'm getting real tired of their shit!

:lol: Exactly. How many Kinects will be flying off shelves after dumping it from the bundle? I'm gonna say they hope beyond their wildest dreams for a 15% attach rate.

rotfl Where are you getting that from what I posted? I'm simply saying from here on out, Kinect can only hope to achieve a 15% attach rate. If you hadn't noticed it kind of has a stench about it unlike Sony's offering, for whatever reason. And the people that really wanted one or didn't mind it, are in that 5m group. FWIW, I don't give a shit about either one.

Absolutely true. I just think that maybe the novelty has worn off of motion-control gaming in general and that voice-control hasn't taken off like MS had hoped. The PS Eye (or whatever it's called) is popular, as I understand it, because of the live broadcasts it enables people to put out. I find the whole broadcasting-your-game thing excruciating, but that's just me. If that's possible with the XO like it is with Live From Playstation, I don't see any reason why it wouldn't catch on as well.

~100% of the people who own a PS4 camera wanted to own it, so...I don't know...maybe?
