Xbox chief: 2011 is all about the Kinect

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//Review%20images/TechRadar/Home%20Entertainment/Kinect%20Xbox%20360/DSCF3752-200-200.jpg"> Microsoft's Stephen McGill has insisted that 2011 will be the Xbox 360's year of the Kinect. The Xbox chief believes that, despite a 'brilliant' line up of games for the 360, it will be the motion controller Kinect add-on that defines 2011. "As for the future, we've got a brilliant line-up for 2011 but it's ultimately all about Kinect," <a href="http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=281686">McGill told CVG</A>. Blow people's minds " Kinect is going to blow people's minds. They're [already] buying it, but we've got a line-up of Kinect games that will blow people away." Microsoft was aiming to sell 5 million Kinects by the end of 2011, with reviewers conceding that several underwhelming launch titles did not detract too heavily from the potential of the device. TechRadar's <a href="">Kinect review</A> suggested that the Kinect was turning the Xbox 360 into a much more rounded console. Many major developers will unleash their offerings for the Kinect next year, and hopes are high that the motion and voice controller will begin to show just why Microsoft is so excited about the device.

EA chief: Wii 'would explode' if priced at $99

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//classifications/home-entertainment/gaming/consoles/images/wii-ed-200-200.jpg"> The Wii would 'explode' if it was priced at $99 (£64) according to the head of EA John Riccitiello. The influential gaming figure believes that Nintendo must arrest the drop off it has experienced with the Wii. In the light of the arrival of Kinect for Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation Move, Riccitiello believes that a price drop below the $100 barrier would give the entire platform a shot in the arm. Exceptionally well "I would say [Nintendo] did exceptionally well in '07 and '08, started tapering in '09 and '10, and... I think if they were to price down to $99, they would explode," he told <a href="http://www.industrygamers.com/news/nintendo-wii-would-explode-at-99-and-lack-of-third-party-support-is-frustrating-ea/">IndustryGamers</A>. "I think they've now got competition, in the form of gesture-based gaming from Sony and Microsoft. "If they were to find ways to promote third-party content better, as opposed to first-party content, and would hit pricing, I think the platform would see new life."
