“It is as core to the platform as Live.”
Microsoft envisages Kinect as a “fundamental” part of what Xbox 360 offers – an experience to span all genres and be considered as inherent as Xbox Live.
Speaking to GameSpot, MGS bigshot Phil Spencer said the launch line-up was only the beginning: he has a “real healthy” and “growing” amount of third-party support for the future.
“Well we view Kinect as a fundamental part of the [Xbox 360] platform. It is as core to the platform as Live is. And we think about all the products in our pipeline, including things that haven’t been announced,” Spencer delivered. “And just like there’s an [internet] pipe connected to the dev kits, there’s a camera connected to the dev kits, so you think about those dev kits and those teams and that creative space, and how they want to add [Kinect] to that experience.
