With the Wii U pad dead in the water, this news kinda sucks.

There's nothing exciting about this gen whatsoever. Yuck.

Not that anyone would've used Kinect anyway. But still.

You have to feel bad for Harmonix over Kinect becoming an option now. They had several games in development that used Kinect and they pretty much found out when the rest of the world did. And once June 9th rolls around, that'll be exactly how many Kinects are sold for the system and how big their potential audience will be.

Problem is it sold to two groups:

1. Core gamers who got caught up in the hype of Kinect, hated it, and really didn't want to buy it a second time.

2. Casual gamers who purchased it once the console had gone through several price cuts, and aren't going to buy it for a while. . . and really don't want to buy it a second time.

Oculus Rift isn't sold by default with the consoles, so no we won't on a large scale with consoles.

Oh that is what you mean. Wiimote was the only true hope the industry had for extreme change and it didn't work.  Enjoy the unique experiences where you can get them.

At least consoles finally have 1080P 60FPS-ish...

Fixed.

That was the joke.
