Microsoft’s director of Xbox Entertainment in the UK recently talked about the focus of the Xbox 360 in 2011, and to no surprise claimed it will be focused on Kinect. Â Stephen McGill talked about the future of the Xbox 360 and he thinks:
“we’ve got a brilliant line-up for 2011 but it’s ultimately all about Kinect. It is going to blow people’s minds. They’re already buying it, but we’ve got a line-up of games that will blow people away.”
We recently spotlighted the Xbox 360’s 2011 lineup and it is indeed Kinect centric.
Aside from your Gears of War 3 and Forza 4, the gaming landscape for the average Xbox 360 customer will change drastically if that gamer wants the full Xbox 360 experience in 2011. Â Reviews of early Kinect titles have been rather lackluster.
Barring a few exceptions in Dance Central and Kinectimals, I would say the overall launch lineup has rated very poorly in the eyes of critics. Â Here’s hoping that the next round of titles bring more to the table than just a few cheap thrills and offer a lasting and innovative gaming experience.
