    There’s a second wave of games coming? They’re certainly not making much noise about it…

      No, it won’t shut them up.
      They made a Guinness World record. Woot! That’s it. The success will be judged by its income derived from sales world-wide over the life of the product.

      Yeah, I thought it was due in Feb? Come on MS, get your game together… you pour more effort into a dud market like Japan than one that actually supports you like here :(

    I’m honestly surprised. I was expecting the price point, and well, the crap games (bar Dance Central) to really hold Kinect back. But I guess MS marketing has done its job well.

    …are there any games coming out for it? At all? Aside from the Rez dude’s game, I can’t think of any…
