Whats Not Gaming.

I have been recently watching trailers of game consoles which have been shown at E3 in America. There are many new things which are coming to game consoles soon like:-
Project Natal on the Xbox 360
The wireless Wand for the PS3
Wii upgrade for the Wii fit
and more.

The one really annoying thing is why are some of the games consoles trying to attract families into playing. These game consoles I am taking about the XBOX 360. When they advertised the Project Natal for Xbox 360 they used families to advertise it. Also with my brother owning an Xbox which I also play on (as I only have a PSP which is good and PS2 which I don't play on), on there Market Place they have done a category named family games. WHY. I know for a fact that not many families at tall play the Xbox 360 together (with the exclusion of the Buzz Quiz games) and not many watch videos together. At this moment in time I am actually respecting the Nintendo Wii.

The Wii's target market are families creating more games for families to play and this is there aim. Although I do disagree with a sentence I read about the new game for the Wii 'Punch Out.' An old arcade game on the SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System) in a gaming magazine insert which said "Had it been too easy though, the game would have certainly upset the HARDCORE Nintendo gamers;" As it is a family console, there is no Hardcore gamers anywhere. But I still have respect for Nintendo.

Back to the point, the Wii tells the truth other than the Xbox 360 and not leaving out the best games console the PS3. The only thing the PS3 does is advertise it with either only one person or or a group of friends which people do play with the PS3.

The Xbox 360 advertises families playing on the Xbox, also the Xbox being down stairs which I know not many people have, they are mostly in bedrooms and the question is, why not advertise them there. Also the Xbox having a movie store, and this is something which Microsoft always advertise with families watching movies which are brought on the market place. For a couple of more pounds you can own a hard copy of it without loosing it when you get the ring of fire.

In conclusion, what I am trying to get to, if you don't understand it under all my blogging rage is that Microsoft Xbox 360 should advertise what people use the Xbox for and what type of people actually use it.

  1. OMFG Connor you are retarded. 1) you have respect for nintendo. 2) Xbox are introducing family games to increase sales (thought that was pretty obvious as it is to most people) 3) You say ps3 is better (I think xbox is better, but having seen the ps3 and what can do, it is pure kick ass) Loads of people watch films together (my family) and loads of people use the xbox downstairs. (I do loads of times and I have friends who permanently keep their xbox downstairs) seriously dude, before trying to make a serious point, face reality first. With Emerald's comments, he at least admits the the xbox is good for what it is, he thinks ps3 is better and that is his opinion and he also uses sarcasm which us xbox fans can laugh at, this post if feeble and inferior to others I have read, you are literally the only person who thinks the ps3 is the best console ever who has respect for nintendo and the Wii. Shame on you. The reason why they advertise like this is because they are showing you that it can be used as a family console. Don't get me wrong, I agree the adverts are retarded (when I first saw the Natal vid, I thought the living room looked computerised) you're raging on asking "why?" when the answer is blatently obvious, you are just looking for an excuse to bash the xbox. Wtf dude???? Also I'm done with the whole "ps3 sucks" thing because it doesn't. It's just the entire fact that the Wii sucks. (If you think this comment is "stupid" or "retarded" you can comment me back, but don't put up a post like that if you don't expect to receive abuse for it, that's all I got to say)

  2. Well done Bagaz. PS3 is better, but Xbox is amazing for only £130 you get loads. Connor, never ever ever ever ever respect Nintendo. First they suck your sell. Then they take your money. The Wii sucks.
    Thanks for the comment Bagaz.

  3. You gotta admit. The xbox gaming head ads are weird. Strangely, PS3 barely advertises at all. I guess you just can't spend £300 on an impulse purchase.

  5. All I am saying is that I think Microsoft is advertising the Xbox to the wrong type of audience. This is my own idea I think of the Xbox and it does seem like I think the Xbox is crap in the post which I don't think at all just to say. Kurtis, just to say that I am not Emyr and I even though I would like to know how to do sarcasm, I don't so F*** off. And also if you want to bag on me, do it to my face and don't write your own blog post on my comments

  6. Lol it easy to say it to ur face and what the fuck, im not writing my own blog posts on ur comments, if i see a post that sucks like hell, then its easy to write a fuck load. Besides its easy to do sarcasm which is used by even the simplest of minds. Im not bagging on you, im merely telling you dont try to sound like you know everything and put a stupid comment like "I respect Wii" or " I respect Nintendo" They are obviously not advertising to the wrong audience, the natal is being created for families thus put a FAMILY in the ad, not to mention ur saying that they are advertising to the wrong audience and you didnt even like what natal had to offer so.... arent they just doing what you want them to do? technically and I think you will agree, they are advertising to the right audience (families) and not to "hardcore gamers" such as "yourself" because Natal isn't for hardcore gamers, it is to introduce those who don't play games into gaming and fun for all the family. Seriously think before you post (or speak) Oh, if ur gonna say FUCK off don't put asterixs in, it doesn't really "fulfill" the point you are trying to make. Rofl...

  7. Lol its funny, I just realised that you want me to say that to your face, OK fair enough. Except now, you're saying the xbox sucks and ps3 is the best and in biology before (and I expect that Ryan can confirm this) you said to my face that Xbox is better than Ps3, ironic much ? Sorry about all this but I am having so much fun argueing with people, especially when I am winning :P

  11. Kurits, just to let you know that you have just admitted that you are not a Hard core gamer but a retarded family gamer as you seem to but bumming Project Natal. And just to let you know that project Natal has already really been made by a good company called SONY. It's called the Eye toy (to be fare Project Natal is a better name) and are making games like the eye pet, all Microsoft have done is upgraded the graphics, making it compatible for platform games, Which I am not sure that it will work but if it does I will be REALLY amazed. And just be dong this they think they can rip Xbox 360 fans off even more by putting it at a stupid high price, I think Ryan or maybe even you said that it might be about £100 - £150. But you have to admit that Microsoft do charge a fee for a few things, pay Membership Cards which enable you just to play online with friends now (but are giving you more for your money soon) and also selling accessories which help you for your Xbox to not break (the fan). Just to make it clear I THINK THE XBOX 360 IS GOOD there are just a few downsides.

  12. lol, saying your a hardcore gamer is just gay, yeah I love gaming but people who take it too seriously are gay, and how the fuck am I a retarded family gamer?? Ohh well sorry that I love the technology that is Project Natal, and LOOK AT THE FUCKING FACTS that Natal isn't eye-toy. Go on xbox and see what the Natal software is, if ya need help he is a direct quote "This incredible new experience is made possible thanks to the Project Natal Sensor, which combines an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone and custom processor running proprietary software all in one device. Existing cameras and controllers only trace movement in 2D, but Project Natal tracks full body movement in 3D and responds to commands, directions… even shifts of emotion in your voice!" oh and btw, learn to spell. No one has given an exact price of Natal so I made an estimation. Yeah I admit when they released the video for Natal I thought it was just amazing and wouldn't shut up, but I hadn't exactly kept that rave prolonged for more than a week. Also every console has a downside and yeah microsoft do overcharge. Research your facts before you go on somekind of rampage and before you go ahead and attempt to "diss" me remember who you are speaking to. Lol its even funnier the fact that you called me a retarded family gamer and here you are the only with respect for the Wii (tut tut tut) try to remember your own words in the future...

  13. ALL OF YOU ARE RETARDS. EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE CAMERA, IT'S CALLED THE PLAYSTATION EYE, NOT THE EYE TOY!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOUR GONNA TAKE THE PISS, THEN MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION. The Eye Toy was for PS2.
    BTW Playstation Eye has directional microphones and can track 3D movement. Just check out Eyepet. So why don't you "LOOK AT THE FUCKING FACTS" Bagaz?
    P.S. Don't call hardcore gay and casual gamers gay. You're one or the other. Which one are you Bagaz? I bet you have to say hardcore (which by your own admission makes you gay).
