This is just a worst case scenario that I thought of, I dont actually beleive this this is just a possibility.
Ok so Microsoft are releasing this kinect thing, which turns the xbox into a wii. Well, what if there will be a large amount of kids party and quiz games coming to the xbox? With the wii, there was initially original games which made good use of the motion sensor (ie Red Steel) but now theres pap quiz games out every week (ie cheggers party quiz, alan hansens sport challenge).
What if the same thing happens to the xbox? A initial burst of original games then a slew of generic quiz based pap.
Thing is, this wont just spell the end to good games on the xbox, this will be the end of original good games on ALL PLATFORMS. Every big budget release nowadays is multiplatform, there are far more xbox's nestling under the nations tv sets than ps3's, so developers will make games primarily for the xbox.
Boring quiz based tat on the xbox = boring quiz based tat on the ps3, pc and handheld platforms.
Thank you for your attention
