The widely known Nintendo wii console has experienced a good run, but its future's certainly not looking so good anymore on account of Microsoft's brand new piece of computer hardware, Kinect. Nintendo's once radical entertainment product is actually now looking very old hat.
When the Wii arrived on the scene it was innovative and took the console gaming world by storm. It brought video gaming to the masses on account of its controller which mimics the player's actions and actually empowered almost anyone to play video games. Even pretty old individuals who had never played a video game before in their entire lives were suddenly qualified to grab a controller and participate in tennis or golf and so on.
In lots of ways it appears the Wii console has paved the way for Kinect. The Nintendo wii console brought video gaming to a much wider marketplace and it seems as if Kinect will dominate that same market.
Kinect is an add-on to the Xbox 360 which sits atop your own TV similar to the Wii sensor that also is placed on top of the Television. The main difference is that Kinect truly scans your whole body movement meaning that you don't even need to have a control in your hand.
The Wii appealed to so many because of its simple controls, but the Kinect doesn't have any kind of controls at all so the appeal will be even more significant! Additionally, it offers speech identification meaning it is possible to issue instructions simply with your voice. Couple that with the fact that it utilizes the Xbox 360 computer hardware which is perfect for producing Hi-def graphics that's many years beyond what the Wii is actually capable of!
For the foreseeable future, it looks as if Kinect is going to take over from the Nintendo wii console. It will be intriguing to see exactly what Sony and also Nintendo will come up with next!
